OVERVIEW

Get Into Tight Spots with the ESAB 41V33 Short Back Cap

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of trying to lay a perfect bead in a space that's just too small for the torch. When your standard back cap keeps hitting the wall, the frame, or the pipe, it’s time to switch to the ESAB 41V33 Short Back Cap. This essential accessory is the "stubby" solution for your WP-9 or WP-20 torch, practically disappearing into the back of the torch head to give you maximum clearance.

Why struggle with awkward angles or compromise your torch angle? By swapping out your long cap for this short version, you can maneuver your torch freely in confined areas like roll cages, exhaust manifolds, and intricate pipe clusters. Because it is so short, remember that you will need to cut your tungsten electrode down to size, but the trade-off in accessibility is worth it.

Key Benefits for the Welder:

  • Maximum Access: Reduces your torch length to the absolute minimum.
  • Secure Fit: Precision threads ensure it screws in smoothly and holds your tungsten tight.
  • Gas Savings: The high-quality O-ring seal prevents costly shielding gas leaks at the back of the torch.
  • Durability: Built by ESAB to handle the heat of daily welding without becoming brittle.

Whether you are a professional pipe welder or a motorsports fabricator, keeping a few 41V33 caps in your kit ensures you are never stuck unable to reach a weld. It’s a small part that makes a huge difference in where you can weld.

FAQ

The 41V33 fits standard 'Series 2' TIG torches, which include the air-cooled WP-9 and the water-cooled WP-20 and WP-25 series.

Yes, because the cap is very short, it cannot accommodate a full-length 7-inch tungsten. You must use a short piece or cut your tungsten down.

Yes, the ESAB 41V33 typically comes with the O-ring installed to ensure a proper gas seal against the torch body.

Yes, the 41V33 is an industry-standard part number and is generally interchangeable with other major brands' WP-9/20 series torches.

It is made from a high-temperature phenolic or similar durable plastic compound with brass threads.

You choose a short back cap when you need to fit the torch into a small space where a long cap would physically obstruct the torch.

No, WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 torches use the 'Series 3' back caps (57Y02/57Y04). The 41V33 is too small for those torches.
