OVERVIEW

Reliable TIG Performance for Less

Every TIG welder knows that the quality of your consumables directly impacts the quality of your weld. However, that doesn't mean you need to break the bank on brand-name parts for every single job. This Generic 13N26 Collet Body is the perfect solution for welders looking to stock up on essential consumables without sacrificing performance. Designed to fit the popular 9 and 20 series torches—including the 25 and 22 models—this collet body is a direct replacement for the standard parts found in most TIG kits.

This specific collet body is sized for .040" (1.0mm) tungsten electrodes, making it ideal for fine, detailed work on thin gauge materials like sheet metal or delicate stainless steel tubing. When you tighten down your back cap, this body compresses the collet firmly around the tungsten, ensuring it doesn't slip or wobble while you are trying to lay down a stack of dimes. The copper construction handles the heat of the arc effectively, keeping your torch running cool and your current flow steady.

Why Choose Generic?

Consumables are meant to be consumed. Whether you drop your torch, cross-thread a part in a hurry, or just wear them out through heavy use, having a fresh pack of collet bodies in your toolbox is a lifesaver. These generic replacements offer the same fit and function as the big brands but at a fraction of the price. They thread smoothly into your torch head and accept all standard ceramic cups, so you don't have to change your entire setup to use them.

Installation Tips:
To get the best life out of your 13N26 collet body, always ensure your threads are clean before installation. Match this body with a .040" collet (usually part number 13N21) and a .040" tungsten. Hand-tighten the collet body into the torch head first, then install your collet, tungsten, and back cap. Avoid over-tightening with pliers, as copper is soft and threads can strip. With this 5-pack, you'll have plenty of spares on hand for your next fabrication project or repair job.

FAQ

The 13N26 collet body fits 9, 20, 22, and 25 series TIG torches. These are typically the smaller, more compact torch bodies used for precision work.

This collet body is designed specifically for .040" (1.0mm) diameter tungsten electrodes.

This is a standard collet body. It does not feature the mesh screen found in gas lenses. It is designed for use with standard alumina nozzles.

This product is sold as a package of 5 collet bodies.

It is manufactured from a high-conductivity copper alloy to ensure efficient electrical transfer and heat dissipation.

No, the 17, 18, and 26 series torches use larger consumables (10N series). The 13N26 is too small for those torches.

Yes, you must use a matching .040" (1.0mm) collet, typically part number 13N21, to ensure the tungsten is held securely.

Replace the collet body if the threads become damaged, if the internal seat is pitted, or if you notice poor arc starts and inconsistent gas coverage.
