OVERVIEW

Essential AK-1 Consumable Kit for TIG Welders

Maximize the performance of your TIG torch with the AK-1 Accessory Kit, a comprehensive set of high-quality consumables tailored for 17, 18, and 26 series torches. In the precision world of GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding), the condition of your torch's front-end parts plays a pivotal role in shielding gas flow and arc control. This kit delivers everything you need to configure your torch for a wide range of welding applications, from thin gauge stainless steel to heavy aluminum plate.

Versatility and Compatibility
The AK-1 kit is designed to be universally compatible with the most popular air-cooled (17 and 26 series) and water-cooled (18 series) torch bodies. This cross-compatibility makes it an excellent choice for shops that utilize multiple machine setups. The kit includes standard collet bodies and collets, ensuring a secure grip on your tungsten electrode for optimal current transfer. The included alumina nozzles offer superior heat resistance and durability, maintaining their shape even under prolonged use at higher amperages.

Ready for Any Job
Adaptability is key in welding. The AK-1 kit empowers you to adjust your torch configuration on the fly. Need to reach into a tight corner? Swap to the included short back cap. Need better gas coverage for a larger weld pool? Switch to a larger nozzle size. The kit eliminates the frustration of missing parts, keeping you focused on laying the perfect bead. The components are housed in a sturdy, compartmentalized case, making it easy to identify and access the exact part you need, keeping your workbench organized and efficient.

Quality You Can Trust
Manufactured to meet strict industry standards, the parts in the AK-1 kit are built to last. The copper components resist deformation and oxidation, ensuring consistent threading and fitment over time. Whether you are replacing worn-out consumables or stocking up for a big project, the AK-1 Accessory Kit is the professional's choice for reliability and value in TIG welding accessories.

FAQ

The AK-1 kit is compatible with 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, including both air-cooled and water-cooled models.

The kit typically includes a selection of collets, collet bodies, alumina nozzles (cups), a long back cap, and a short back cap.

While some variations might, the standard AK-1 kit focuses on the hardware (collets, bodies, cups, caps). Tungsten is usually sold separately.

No, the AK-1 is for 17/18/26 series. For 9 and 20 series torches, you would typically need an AK-2 kit.

The long back cap accommodates full-length tungsten electrodes, while the short back cap is used for tight spaces and requires shorter tungsten.

This is a generic kit designed to be compatible with major brands like Weldcraft, Miller, Lincoln, and CK Worldwide that use the standard 17/18/26 series design.

This kit contains standard collet bodies. If you require gas lens performance, you would need to purchase a gas lens kit specifically.

Yes, the kit comes in a compartmentalized storage box to keep your parts organized.
