Description

Unimig 17V TIG Torch – 8m – 17V-8MCP50

Overview

The Unimig 17V TIG Torch (17V-8MCP50) is a versatile air-cooled torch designed for DC Lift Arc TIG welding. Built for workshop and field use, it offers reliable performance across fabrication, repair, and maintenance tasks. The 8-metre lead provides extended reach, allowing operators to move freely around larger jobs without repositioning equipment. A standard 35/50 Dinse connection ensures compatibility with a wide range of inverter welders, including Unimig Viper and Razor series machines. The torch supports electrode sizes from 1.0mm to 3.2mm, making it ideal for light to medium-duty applications.

Performance & Capacity

This torch delivers approximately 150 amps of DC output at a typical duty cycle, providing stable arc performance for mild steel and stainless steel welding. The valve design allows manual gas control directly at the torch, making it suitable for welders without built-in gas solenoids. Its consistent current flow and efficient cable system help maintain arc stability during extended welding sessions.

Ergonomics & Handling

The ergonomic handle features soft grips and knuckle joints, improving comfort and control during use. The flexible cable system and leather section near the handle enhance manoeuvrability, especially when working in tight or awkward positions. The torch is also flex-head compatible, allowing users to weld at difficult angles with greater precision and reduced strain.

Build & Features

Unimig equips the 17V torch with durable rubber cables for long service life and consistent performance. Shielded switch leads reduce electrical interference and protect the welding machine. The modular consumable system supports a wide range of setups, including standard, gas lens, and stubby configurations, giving users flexibility across different welding applications.

Applications

The 17V 8m torch suits general fabrication, automotive work, and maintenance tasks. It performs well in workshop environments and on-site jobs where extended reach and portability are important. The valve configuration makes it particularly useful for basic TIG setups and multi-process welders running lift arc TIG.
