13N29 - 13N29 TIG Collet Body 1/8" (3.2mm) for 9/20 Series Torches - 5 Pack

High-Performance 13N29 Collet Body for 9 & 20 Series Torches

Maximize the performance of your TIG welding setup with the ESAB 13N29 Collet Body, specifically engineered for 1/8-inch (3.2mm) tungsten electrodes. In the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process, the collet body is the heart of the torch's front end, performing two vital functions: it holds the collet in place to grip the tungsten, and it serves as the primary conduit for welding current. A worn or inferior collet body can lead to poor electrical contact, overheating, and unstable arcs. This premium replacement part is designed to eliminate those issues, providing a solid electrical connection and efficient heat dissipation.

The 13N29 is the standard collet body size for the "small series" torches, which includes the air-cooled WP-9 and the water-cooled WP-20 and WP-25. It is also compatible with modern equivalents like the Weldcraft A-125, W-200, W-250, W-280, and W-375. Its universal design means it integrates seamlessly with your existing TIG accessories, including standard alumina nozzles and 13N-series collets. The precision threading ensures a tight seal against the torch head, preventing shielding gas leaks that could contaminate your weld pool.

Constructed from a durable copper alloy, this collet body resists deformation under high thermal stress. This is particularly important for water-cooled applications where amperage levels can be significant. The 5-pack packaging is designed for the serious fabricator, ensuring that a fresh component is always within reach. Regular inspection and replacement of your collet body can drastically improve arc starting characteristics and overall weld consistency.

Whether you are welding delicate aerospace components or performing heavy-duty repairs, the stability of your arc starts with your consumables. The ESAB 13N29 delivers the reliability required for critical applications. It is not compatible with gas lens setups; it is designed for standard collet body configurations. Ensure your toolkit is stocked with these essential components to keep your operations running smoothly.
