OVERVIEW

Access Tight Spaces with Ease

Every TIG welder encounters joints that are just out of reach because the torch is too long. The Weldcraft 57Y04 Short Back Cap solves this problem by drastically reducing the profile of your torch. Designed to fit the popular 17, 18, and 26 series torches, this short cap allows you to get up close to your work in roll cages, exhaust manifolds, and other restricted areas. It screws in place of your long cap, tightening the collet securely while keeping the back of the torch flush and out of the way.

This bulk pack of 800 caps is perfect for outfitting a large workforce or stocking a tool crib. Despite its small size, the 57Y04 is built to Weldcraft's high standards. It resists cracking from heat and drops, and the included O-ring ensures you don't lose shielding gas coverage. Don't let a bulky torch limit your welding capabilities—keep these short caps on hand to tackle the most difficult joints with confidence and precision.
