WP18 Flex Head TIG Torch Body – High-Amperage Maneuverability for TIG Welding

Full Description:

The WP18 Flex Head TIG Torch Body is a robust and versatile component designed for TIG welders who require both high amperage capability and exceptional maneuverability. As part of the WP18 series of water-cooled TIG torches, this torch body features a flexible neck or head that can be easily bent and adjusted to various angles. This crucial flexibility allows the welder to comfortably access and weld in tight spaces, around complex geometries, and at awkward angles, even during high-amperage applications where water cooling is necessary to dissipate heat effectively.   

The WP18 series is known for its ability to handle higher welding currents compared to air-cooled torches, making it suitable for thicker materials and more demanding welding tasks. The addition of a flexible head to the WP18 body significantly enhances its utility in these situations, allowing for precise torch positioning without compromising the ability to weld at higher amperages for extended periods.   

This torch body will connect to your existing WP18 water-cooled torch cable assembly (which includes water hoses and power cable) and will accept standard WP18 consumables such as collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, ceramic cups, and back caps. Upgrading to a flex head on a water-cooled torch like the WP18 is particularly beneficial for achieving high-quality welds in difficult-to-reach areas where significant heat is generated. The ability to adjust the torch angle and maintain a comfortable hand position reduces fatigue and increases precision in demanding applications.

Features:

  • Flexible Head Design: Allows the torch head to be bent and adjusted to various angles for optimal access in tight spaces, even at high amperages.   
  • WP18 Series Compatibility: Designed to work with standard WP18 water-cooled TIG torch cable assemblies and consumables.
  • High-Amperage Capability: Suitable for welding thicker materials and demanding applications requiring water cooling.
  • Enhanced Maneuverability: Enables comfortable welding in awkward positions and around complex shapes, even with a water-cooled setup.   
  • Improved Access to Difficult Joints: Allows the welder to reach welds that would be challenging with a rigid, high-amperage torch body.
  • Durable Construction: Built to withstand the demands of regular, high-amperage TIG welding.
  • Accepts Standard WP18 Consumables: Ensures compatibility with your existing TIG welding accessories for WP18 torches.
  • Reduces Welder Fatigue in High-Amperage Applications: Allows for more comfortable and natural hand positioning during demanding welds.
  • Increases Welding Precision at Higher Currents: Provides better control over the torch angle and weld pool in challenging areas.   

If your TIG welding involves high amperages and requires access to tight or complex areas, the WP18 Flex Head TIG Torch Body is an invaluable tool that combines the power of water cooling with enhanced maneuverability, allowing you to achieve high-quality welds in demanding situations.
