Short Answer
Weldcraft flex head torches come in two styles: fixed-head (WP-24F, WP-9F, WP-26F) and modular interchangeable-head systems (WP-150, WP-200).
Details
Fixed Flex Head Torches:WP-24F, WP-9F, WP-26F
These torches use a 90° flex head with a one-piece brazed copper coil. The head connects to the torch body with a threaded stud, making it easy to replace if damaged.
Modular Flex Head Systems:WP-150, WP-200
These feature a molded flexible coil with interchangeable heads. Both the head and coil can be replaced, giving you more flexibility and longer service life.
- Fixed models = simple, durable, standard 90° head
- Modular models = interchangeable heads and coils
- All attach to 150A or 200A torch bodies (with or without valve)
Interchangeable Head Options (WP-150/200)
- 24 series — 70° head
- 24-90 series — 90° head
- 1726 series — 70° head
- 1726P series — 180° head
- 9-90 series — 90° head
- 9-70 series — 70° head
- 9P series — 180° head
Why It Matters
Choosing the right torch style affects access, comfort, and downtime. Modular systems reduce replacement costs, while fixed heads are simple and reliable.
Shop Tip
If you switch between tight spaces and open work, go with a WP-150 or WP-200 modular system so you can change head angles instead of changing torches.
Bottom Line
Fixed flex heads are simple and tough. Modular systems give you more control and flexibility on the job.
