Keep your TIG torch running smoothly with the Lincoln Electric KP2031-2B1 Collet Body. Designed for welders who demand reliability, this part is the backbone of your torch's front end. It is sized specifically for .040-inch (1.0 mm) tungsten, making it the go-to choice for thin-gauge welding applications where precision is everything. Whether you are welding stainless steel sheet metal or delicate aluminum parts, having a fresh, high-quality collet body ensures your arc starts crisp and stays stable.
Compatibility is key in any shop, and this collet body delivers. It is built to fit the popular 9 series (air-cooled) and 20 series (water-cooled) TIG torches. This includes Lincoln's own PTA-9, PTA-20, and PTW-20 models, as well as most standard WP-9 and WP-20 torches found in the industry. If you are running a small, maneuverable torch, this is likely the part you need. It installs easily, screwing directly into the torch head, and provides the seat for your collet to grip the tungsten securely.
Why stick with genuine Lincoln parts? It comes down to materials and fit. The KP2031-2B1 is made from durable copper that handles the heat of the arc without softening or deforming prematurely. Cheap knock-offs often have poor threading or uneven gas holes, which can lead to frustrating gas coverage issues or a "stuttering" arc. This Lincoln collet body ensures smooth current transfer from the power cable to the tungsten, reducing resistance and heat buildup in the handle.
Don't let a worn-out consumable ruin your weld. If you notice your tungsten slipping, or if the threads on your current collet body are looking stripped, it's time to swap it out. This .040" collet body is a standard consumable that every TIG welder should have in their kit. It pairs perfectly with a standard .040" collet and a ceramic cup to give you the control you need for intricate work. Upgrade your consumables and experience the difference in your arc quality today.
