Weldcraft introduces new water-cooled TIG torch

By Janice Wood · April 23, 2012 ·

Weldcraft has introduced the new WP-280 water-cooled TIG torch, which has been designed with the company’s Super Cool Technology.

This technology consists of a unique design that improves the torch’s efficiency, resulting in less downtime due to overheating and a longer lasting torch, company officials said.

The WP-280 TIG torch body also includes an anti-rotation feature to prevent handle movement during welding and improve operator control. Adding to its maneuverability is the torch’s Tri-Flex hose and cable assembly, which has been designed to remain flexible in cold weather, improve operator control and prevent cracking. ColorSmart hose and cable sets differentiate input water, water/power cable and gas hoses to simplify torch installation.
