KP2036-2B1 - Lincoln Electric Short Back Cap for 9/20 Series TIG Torches

Get Into Tight Spaces with Ease

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of trying to lay a bead in a cramped corner, only to have the back of the torch bump against the workpiece or a fixture. The Lincoln Electric KP2036-2B1 Short Back Cap is the solution to that problem. By replacing your standard long back cap with this compact version, you significantly reduce the overall length of your torch, giving you the clearance you need to maneuver in restricted areas like pipe clusters, roll cages, and engine bays.

Don't let a bulky torch limit your welding capabilities. This short back cap fits perfectly on your favorite 9-series or 20-series torches (including the Lincoln PTA-9 and PTA-20). It works just like the longer versions—screwing in to tighten the collet around your tungsten—but does so with a minimal profile. It's perfect for when you are using short tungsten stubs or need to get the torch head into a difficult angle without compromising your arc stability.

Made by Lincoln Electric, this cap is built to last. It features heat-resistant materials that won't crack under normal thermal stress and includes a high-quality O-ring to keep your shielding gas flowing exactly where it should—out the nozzle, not the back of the handle. Keep one of these in your kit, and you'll be ready for any tight-squeeze welding job that comes your way.
