10N22 - Weldcraft 10N22 TIG Collet .040 (5-Pack) for 17/18/26 Torches

Weldcraft 10N22 .040" Collet (5-Pack) – Reliable TIG Torch Consumables

Keep your TIG torch performing at its best with the Weldcraft 10N22 Collet, designed for use with .040" (1.0mm) tungsten electrodes. This 5-pack of genuine Weldcraft replacements is a staple for any welder's toolkit, compatible with the widely used 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches. When precision matters, relying on OEM parts ensures that your tungsten is held firmly in place, providing the consistent current transfer needed for high-quality welds.

Why Choose Weldcraft Collets?

In TIG welding, the collet acts as the jaw that grips the tungsten electrode. If the collet is made from inferior materials or machined poorly, it can fail to grip the tungsten securely, leading to arc instability and frustration. Weldcraft, a brand synonymous with quality in the welding industry (now under Miller Electric), manufactures the 10N22 collet from premium copper alloys. This construction ensures maximum conductivity and resistance to heat deformation. By using genuine parts, you reduce the risk of the collet twisting inside the collet body, a common issue that can jam the torch and require costly repairs.

Versatile Torch Fitment

One of the key advantages of the 10N22 collet is its broad compatibility. It fits the most popular torch bodies in the industry:

• WP-17: The go-to air-cooled torch for many shop environments.
• WP-18: The water-cooled workhorse for high-amp production welding.
• WP-26: The heavy-duty air-cooled option for field work.

This cross-compatibility means you can stock one part number for multiple torch setups, simplifying inventory for shops with diverse equipment.

Essential for Thin Gauge Welding

The .040" (1.0mm) size is typically used for low-amperage welding on thin materials like sheet metal, stainless steel tubing, or delicate aluminum parts. In these applications, arc control is everything. A fresh 10N22 collet ensures the tungsten is centered and stable, allowing you to focus on the puddle rather than fighting your equipment. Sold in a convenient pack of five, this product ensures you always have a backup ready when you need it most.
