WP-26V TIG Torch Argon Torch UAE Qatar Saudi Arabia
WP-26V TIG Torch
(Argon Torch) with Gas Valve
General-purpose 200A air-cooled TIG welding torch with built-in manual gas valve. Engineered for medium to heavy-gauge TIG welding across fabrication, pipeline, petrochemical, and maintenance applications throughout the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and wider GCC.
Product Overview
What It Is
The WP-26V is a 200-amp air-cooled TIG welding torch (also known as an argon torch) with a built-in manual gas valve. Part of the WP-26 series, the "V" designation indicates the integral gas valve, which provides direct on/off control of argon or argon-mix shielding gas at the torch body — without relying on the welder's internal gas solenoid. Uses standard 10N series consumables throughout.
Who Uses It
Specified by welding engineers, pipeline contractors, fabrication workshops, maintenance teams, and offshore welding crews. Suitable for procurement teams sourcing TIG welding equipment across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Iraq, Egypt, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, Tanzania and Uganda. Ideal for both site-based and workshop TIG welding.
Where It Is Used
Structural fabrication, pipe welding, petrochemical plant maintenance, food and beverage equipment welding, aerospace component fabrication, shipboard installation, and general maintenance and repair. The manual gas valve makes it particularly suitable for field welding where the torch connects directly to a gas regulator — common in pipeline and site welding across the GCC and Africa.
WP-26 Series — Model Variants
WP-26
200A air-cooled torch with rigid head. No gas valve — for use with TIG welders that have a built-in gas solenoid.
WP-26V
200A air-cooled torch with rigid 70° head and built-in manual gas valve. For welders with no gas solenoid or direct flowmeter connection.
WP-26F
200A air-cooled torch with flexible head for improved access to awkward joint positions. No gas valve.
WP-26FV
200A air-cooled torch combining flexible head and built-in gas valve — maximum versatility for site and positional TIG welding.

Key Features & Benefits
Built-In Manual Gas Valve
Enables direct shielding gas control at the torch — essential for TIG welders without a built-in gas solenoid and for field applications where the torch connects directly to a flowmeter or regulator.
200A / 60% Duty Cycle
Suitable for medium to heavy-gauge TIG welding — handles sustained production welding on structural steel, stainless, aluminium and pipe in fabrication shops and field sites.
Air-Cooled Design
No water cooling system required — simpler setup, lower maintenance, and reduced equipment cost for the majority of industrial TIG welding applications.
Rigid 70° Head
Optimum torch-to-joint angle for flat, horizontal, and positional welding — the most widely used TIG torch configuration in pipework and structural fabrication.
10N Series Consumables
One of the most widely available TIG torch consumable standards — collets, cups, and bodies are easily sourced across UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the MENA/Africa regions.
Dinse 35-50mm Adapter
Compatible with Miller, Lincoln, ESAB, Fronius, and most mainstream TIG welders — reduces compatibility concerns when procuring for multi-brand welding fleets.
