OVERVIEW

Reliable .040" Collet Body for TIG Torches

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.

FAQ

This collet body fits 9-series and 20-series TIG torches, including Lincoln PTA-9, PTA-20, PTW-20, and generic WP-9/WP-20 models.

The KP2031-2B1 is designed specifically for 0.040-inch (1.0 mm) diameter tungsten electrodes.

No, this is a standard collet body. It does not have the mesh screen found in gas lens bodies.

You will need a matching .040" collet, a compatible ceramic nozzle (cup), a back cap, and a 9 or 20 series torch body.

Replace the collet body if the threads become stripped, the gas holes are clogged with spatter, or if the seating surface for the collet is pitted or deformed.

No, 17, 18, and 26 series torches use larger front-end parts (10N series). This part is strictly for the smaller 9 and 20 series torches.

It is manufactured from a high-conductivity copper alloy designed to withstand thermal stress and ensure efficient electrical transfer.

Yes, the collet body contains orifices that distribute the shielding gas into the nozzle. A damaged or clogged body can lead to turbulence and poor weld protection.
