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.

Description

WP‑17 TIG Torches with Switch – 4M & 8M | 2‑Piece

Premium WP‑17 series TIG torches, air‑cooled, fitted with a built‑in trigger/switch, supplied in two cable lengths (4 m and 8 m). These torches are designed for welders who need control at the torch handle (trigger/switch) rather than only via foot pedal or machine‑solenoid. The 2‑piece configuration (separate gas & power lines) allows easier maintenance, replacement, and custom cable routing.

Key Features

Feature	Description
Cooling	Air‑cooled design—no water required, simpler setup and lighter weight.
Switch / Trigger	Integrated trigger switch on the torch handle for initiating arc and/or controlling gas flow. Enables control without needing the machine’s foot pedal or external switch.
2‑Piece Hose / Cable	Separate gas hose and power cable lines: offers flexibility in replacing damaged part without replacing whole torch; easier routing in workshop.
Length Options	Two available lengths: 4 meters and 8 meters, giving reach options for different workspace sizes.
Duty & Current Ratings	Generally in the range of ~150 A DC, ~120‑140 A AC (at ~35% duty cycle). Typical spec for many WP‑17 style torches.
Electrode Size Range	Usually supports Tungsten electrodes from about 0.5 mm up to 2.4 mm diameter.
Duty Cycle	~35% typical in many models. For more heavy usage, ensure your welding machine is rated appropriately.
