Optimize your TIG welding setup with the Lincoln Electric KP2031-3B1 Collet Body, a premium consumable designed for 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) tungsten electrodes. This component plays a pivotal role in the TIG torch assembly, screwing into the torch head to house the collet and clamp the tungsten electrode. By providing a solid electrical connection and a path for heat dissipation, this collet body ensures that your arc remains stable and focused, even during extended welding sessions.
The KP2031-3B1 is the Lincoln Electric equivalent of the generic 13N27 part number. It is fully compatible with standard 17 series (air-cooled), 18 series (water-cooled), and 26 series (air-cooled) TIG torches. This cross-compatibility makes it a versatile stock item for shops that utilize multiple torch configurations. The body is constructed from high-quality copper alloy, selected for its superior thermal and electrical conductivity properties. This helps prevent overheating of the torch head and extends the lifespan of both the collet and the tungsten.
Supplied in a pack of 5, these collet bodies are an economical choice for high-volume welding operations. Over time, collet bodies can become clogged with spatter or deformed by excessive heat cycles, leading to poor gas coverage and erratic arcs. Replacing worn collet bodies is a simple yet effective troubleshooting step for resolving shielding gas issues. Trust in Lincoln Electric's manufacturing expertise to deliver consumables that meet the demands of professional welders.
