This detailed product description presents the Wieländer+Schill TIG welding torch with part number 332222, which is equipped with a manual gas valve and has been specifically optimized for welding machines in the InvertaPuls series. This accessory is crucial for precise and reliable TIG welding processes, especially in applications where manual control of the gas flow is essential.
The TIG welding torch with part number 332222 is a complete unit that includes the welding torch, a pre-installed 1.6 mm tungsten electrode, and an integrated manual gas valve. This configuration is an ideal choice for machines in the InvertaPuls series that feature TIG functionality, constant output power, and automatic arc ignition (between the electrode and the workpiece).
The torch's most important feature is the integrated mechanical gas valve. This valve allows the welder to precisely control the shielding gas flow directly through the torch handle during welding. This function is critically important for optimizing the quality of the weld seam, especially with sensitive materials or complex geometries where precise control of gas flow is essential to prevent oxidation and ensure proper penetration.
The torch design is ergonomic and robust, manufactured from a combination of durable metal and plastic (kunststoff) materials, ensuring a long service life and comfortable handling even under intensive use. The 4-meter cable length (Length: 4.0 m) provides sufficient freedom of movement in most workshop environments.

The built-in mechanical gas valve offers a significant advantage over standard TIG torches, where the gas flow is regulated exclusively by the welding machine:
On-the-Spot Fine Tuning: Allows the welder to immediately react to changing conditions during the welding process (e.g., material thickness, weld geometry) by finely adjusting the shielding gas flow rate.
Precise Start and End Gas Flow: Helps in the precise control of gas flow at the beginning and end of the weld, minimizing the oxidation of the tungsten electrode and the fresh weld bead after completing the weld.
Independence from the Machine: Although the torch is designed for InvertaPuls machines, the mechanical valve provides a form of redundancy and direct physical control over the gas supply, which increases control over the welding process.
This TIG torch is specifically designed for the InvertaPuls series welding machines, taking advantage of their advanced features such as automatic arc striking. The 200 A DC current range makes it ideal for medium-power TIG welding tasks, especially for welding stainless steels, aluminum, and other alloys where TIG technology offers the highest quality.
The electrode gripping range between 1.0 mm and 2.4 mm provides flexibility for using tungsten electrodes of different diameters, allowing the welder to choose the most suitable electrode size for the task.
The product page also offers other essential accessories for TIG welding, which are compatible with SR 17, SR 18, and SR 26 type TIG torches (the 332222 torch is likely also adapted to these standards):
| Accessory | Part number | Dimensions | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ceramic gas cup, size 6 | 337130 | Length: 47.0 mm, Diameter: 9.5 mm | Standard size ceramic gas cup. |
| Ceramic gas cup, size 7 | 337131 | Length: 47.0 mm, Diameter: 11.0 mm | Larger diameter gas cup, for a wider shielding gas zone. |
| Ceramic gas cup, size 5 | 337132 | Length: 47.0 mm, Diameter: 8.0 mm | Smaller size gas cup, for more precise work. |
These accessories allow the welder to adapt the torch configuration to the material being welded and the required weld quality.
The Wieländer+Schill 332222 TIG welding torch with manual gas valve is a professional tool offering excellent quality construction and enhanced manual control for InvertaPuls users. The 200 A DC capacity, 4-meter cable, and built-in gas regulation ensure efficient and precise TIG welding, even for the most demanding automotive body and metalworking tasks.
