Tig Torches – WP-17 4M TIG Torch with switch – 2 Pc each and WP-17 8M TIG Torch with switch – 2 Pc

R1 061,45

Technical Specifications (Typical / Example)

Here’s a comparison layout for the 4 m and 8 m models:

Spec 4 Meter Version 8 Meter Version
Cooling type Air‑cooled Air‑cooled
Cable configuration 2‑piece (separate gas & power) 2‑piece
Switch / trigger Handle‑mounted Handle‑mounted
Welding current (DC) ~150 A ~150 A*
Welding current (AC) ~120‑140 A ~120‑140 A*
Electrode size 0.5‑2.4 mm 0.5‑2.4 mm
Duty cycle ~35% ~35%
Reach / flexibility Good reach in small/medium benches Greater range for large benches, mobile work

*Actual performance may vary slightly in the 8 m model due to voltage drop over longer cable; always check with the supplier’s catalogue for that specific torch.

Applications & Use Cases

  • General TIG welding (mild steel, stainless steel, etc.) where control via switch at the handle is preferred.

  • Workshops / mobile welders where you want to start arc and control gas directly from the torch.

  • Situations where foot control is impractical or not available.

  • Jobs where you need extended reach (8 m) without having to move the machine around constantly.

  • Replacing older torches; the WP‑17 series has many interchangeable consumables (collets, nozzles) in many brands.

What’s Included & Consumables

  • Torch head with integrated switch/trigger and handle

  • Power cable + gas hose (two‑piece assembly) in desired length (4m or 8m)

  • Standard consumables: typical starter collet(s), collet body, ceramic nozzle(s) (check with supplier if included)

  • Connectors: The type of rear power connector (Dinse / M‑male / others) should be compatible with your welding machine.

Maintenance & Compatibility Tips

  • Use the right electrode size for the amp level to prevent overheating or arc instability.

  • Check that your machine’s power output and connectors can support the 8 m version without excessive voltage drop.

  • Keep the switch / trigger clean and dry; switching components often fail because of spatter or moisture.

  • Always use appropriate shielding gas (Argon in most TIG) and ensure gas supply lines are secure and leak‑free.
