OVERVIEW

Reliable Long Back Cap for 17, 18, & 26 Series Torches

Keep your TIG torch running smoothly with this premium-quality 57Y02 Long Back Cap. Whether you are a professional fabricator or a hobbyist, having the right torch accessories is key to consistent performance. This long back cap is the standard "workhorse" cap for air-cooled 17 and 26 series torches, as well as water-cooled 18 series models. It allows you to use brand new, full-length tungsten electrodes, giving you the most value out of your consumables.

Don't let a cracked or stripped back cap ruin your weld or waste your shielding gas. This replacement cap is built tough to handle the heat of the shop environment. It screws on easily and creates a tight seal with its included O-ring, ensuring your argon goes exactly where it's needed—the weld pool. Compatible with all major brands like Weldcraft and CK Worldwide, this is an essential spare part for your welding kit. Swap it out in seconds and get back to laying perfect beads.
