OVERVIEW

Upgrade Your Torch with Parker 3/32" Stubby Collets

Achieve superior arc control and access tight spaces with the Parker 3/32" Stubby TIG Collet. This essential TIG torch component is designed for welders who demand reliability and precision. Whether you are running a standard water-cooled WP-20 setup or have converted your air-cooled WP-17 to a "stubby" configuration, this collet is the exact part you need to hold your 3/32" tungsten firmly in place.

Why choose Parker? Parker Torchology replacement parts are built to match or exceed original equipment specifications. This 13N23 style collet features precise splitting and high-quality copper construction, allowing it to grip the tungsten electrode securely when the back cap is tightened. A secure grip translates to better electrical contact, cooler running temperatures, and a more consistent weld puddle.

This collet is versatile. It is the native collet for small-body torches (9 and 20 series) but is also the "secret ingredient" in stubby gas lens kits for large-body torches (17, 18, and 26 series). By switching to a stubby setup using this collet, you shrink the front end of your torch, bringing your hand closer to the work for improved manipulation and control.

Features & Benefits

  • Reliable Grip: Prevents tungsten slippage during welding.
  • Versatile Fit: Works with multiple torch series (standard small body or converted large body).
  • Durable Copper: Withstands high amperage and heat cycles.
  • Cost-Effective: Professional quality without the premium price tag.

FAQ

This collet (13N23) fits standard WP-9, WP-20, and WP-25 torches. It also fits WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 torches if they are equipped with a stubby gas lens or stubby collet body kit.

This collet is designed specifically for 3/32" (2.4mm) diameter tungsten electrodes.

This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement part manufactured by Parker Torchology, designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications.

While it is the standard length for 9/20 torches, it is significantly shorter than the standard collets for 17/18/26 torches. When used in those larger torches with an adapter kit, it creates a 'stubby' front end profile.

You should replace the collet if you notice signs of twisting, deformation, or if it no longer grips the tungsten securely. Poor contact can cause arc instability.

Yes, the collet itself is compatible with both AC and DC welding processes, provided you are using the correct tungsten type for your application.
