OVERVIEW

Reliable .040" TIG Collet Replacement (10N22)

Keep your TIG torch performing at its best with this high-quality Generic 10N22 Collet, designed for use with .040" (1.0mm) tungsten electrodes. Whether you are a professional fabricator or a hobbyist, the condition of your torch consumables directly impacts the quality of your weld. This collet is compatible with the industry's most popular torch bodies, including the 17, 18, and 26 series, offering a versatile solution for various welding machines and setups.

TIG welding requires precision, and the collet is the unsung hero of the torch assembly. It is responsible for centering the tungsten and delivering the amperage needed to create the weld pool. Over time, heat cycles can cause collets to twist, warp, or lose their spring tension, resulting in a loose electrode or unstable arc. By replacing your collets regularly with these reliable generic alternatives, you ensure consistent current transfer and eliminate frustration caused by slipping tungsten.

This product is particularly suited for fine detail work. The .040" size is the go-to choice for welding very thin gauge steel, stainless steel, or aluminum where low heat input is required. The copper construction is robust enough to handle the demands of daily use while remaining affordable enough to replace as part of a standard maintenance schedule. Don't let a $2 part ruin a critical weld; stock up on 10N22 collets to keep your production line moving smoothly.

Why Choose This Collet?

  • Universal Compatibility: Works seamlessly with WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 style torches from almost any manufacturer.
  • Cost-Effective: Provides professional performance at a fraction of the cost of branded consumables.
  • Performance: Maintains a tight grip on the tungsten for steady arc control.

FAQ

The 10N22 collet fits 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, including both air-cooled and water-cooled models.

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

You should replace the collet if it becomes twisted, melted, discolored, or if it no longer grips the tungsten securely when the back cap is tightened.

No, this is a high-quality generic replacement part that is fully compatible with Weldcraft and other major brands.

Yes, this standard collet is typically used with standard collet bodies, but specific gas lens setups may require different internal components. Always check your gas lens kit requirements.

The 10N22 collet is made of high-conductivity copper to ensure efficient current transfer and heat resistance.

Yes, the collet itself works for aluminum, stainless, or steel welding; its function is to hold the tungsten, regardless of the base material being welded.
