85Z16 - 1/8 Inch Collet for WP-12 TIG Torch

Reliable 1/8" Collet for Heavy-Duty TIG Welding

Maximize the performance of your 500-amp TIG setup with the 85Z16 Collet, designed exclusively for WP-12 series water-cooled torches. When you are pushing high amperages to penetrate thick materials, every component in your torch head matters. This 1/8-inch collet is the workhorse that holds your tungsten electrode in place, ensuring the current transfers smoothly from the power source to the arc. Crafted for durability, it withstands the intense heat generated during heavy-duty welding, resisting deformation and maintaining a tight grip on your tungsten.

Slipping tungsten or an unstable arc can ruin a perfect weld and waste valuable time. The 85Z16 collet eliminates these frustrations by providing a secure, precise fit for 1/8" electrodes. Its high-quality copper construction promotes efficient cooling and conductivity, which is essential when operating at the upper limits of the WP-12's 500-amp rating. This means fewer interruptions for torch maintenance and more time laying down high-quality beads. It is the ideal choice for welders in heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, and industrial repair who demand consistency from their equipment.

Don't let worn-out consumables compromise your weld quality. A fresh collet ensures your arc starts are crisp and your puddle control remains precise. This 85Z16 collet is easy to install and integrates seamlessly with your existing WP-12 torch parts. Keep your torch running cool and your welds looking professional with this essential replacement part. Whether you are welding aluminum, stainless steel, or exotic alloys, trust this collet to deliver the stability you need for flawless results.
