    TIG Torch Collets

    Image of System. Side1 orientation. Contains Annotated. TIG Torch Collets.
    Hold your tungsten electrode in place during TIG welding with these collets. Slide them into a collet body or gas lens, and secure by screwing the back cap onto your torch.
    Split TIG Collet—Split collets are split into two sides. When you tighten the back cap, the sides squeeze together to grip the tungsten. These are the most common collet style, but the split is a weak area where they deform over time.
    Wedge TIG Collet—Wedge collets have a wedge-shaped head that presses against the collet body when the back cap is tightened, holding the tungsten steady. This single-piece design is more durable than split collets.

    TIG Torch Collet Bodies

    Attach TIG torch nozzles to TIG torches with these collet bodies. Holes in the collet body route shielding gas to the nozzle to protect your weld from oxidation and pitting. Use them with a split or wedge collet to hold a tungsten electrode. All collet bodies require a TIG torch insulator.

    Collet bodies for aluminum oxide ceramic and silicon nitride ceramic nozzles have threads for connecting to nozzles. Use an adapter ring (sold separately) to connect quartz glass nozzles to these collet bodies.

    TIG Torch Accessory Kits

    Image of Product. Front orientation. TIG Torch Accessory Kits.
    All the TIG torch accessories you need to get started in one kit, including collets, collet bodies, and nozzles.
    Borosilicate Glass Nozzle—Kits with borosilicate glass nozzles are clear, so you'll be able to see what you're working on, even when space is cramped. However, these nozzles break more easily than other nozzles. Instead of threads, the collet bodies have O-rings; push the nozzle onto the collet body, and the O-ring holds it in place.
    Aluminum Oxide Ceramic Nozzle—Kits with aluminum oxide ceramic nozzles are durable and economical—a good choice for most applications, although they do limit visibility, unlike glass. The nozzles thread directly onto the collet bodies.
    Gas-Saving TIG Welding—Gas-saving nozzles include a gas diffuser, so they use less gas than standard nozzles but won't compromise the quality of your weld. The gas diffuser smooths the flow of shielding gas, so it goes where you want it and isn't wasted. Shielding gas prevents oxidation and pitting, which weaken welds. Having reliable gas coverage means your electrode can stick out farther and reach into tight spots while staying inside the cloud of gas.
    For Narrow Gas Coverage—Narrow nozzles work well with most metals.
    For Wide Gas Coverage—Wide nozzles spray a large cloud of shielding gas that helps with tough-to-weld metals, such as titanium and Inconel. Because of their size, they’re harder to fit into corners than standard nozzles.
