57N47 - Weldcraft 57N47 3/32" (2.4mm) TIG Collet for WP-27 Torches (2-Pack)

Keep Your Heavy-Duty Torch Performing

When you are running a WP-27 torch, you are likely tackling some of the thickest materials and hottest jobs in the shop. The Weldcraft 57N47 Collet is the muscle behind your tungsten, designed specifically for the 3/32" (2.4mm) setup on your heavy-duty rig. These collets are built to take the heat, but like all consumables, they eventually wear out. If you are noticing your arc wandering, your tungsten slipping even when the cap is tight, or your torch head getting unusually hot, it might be time to swap out your collet.

This 2-pack ensures you have a backup ready when you need it. A fresh collet provides a crisp, tight grip on your tungsten, which translates to better electrical contact. Better contact means a smoother, more stable arc and less frustration while you are trying to lay down perfect beads. Using genuine Weldcraft parts means you don't have to worry about fitment issues; these slide perfectly into your WP-27A or WP-27B torch and thread smoothly with your existing collet bodies.

Why Replace Your Collet?

Over time, the heat cycles of TIG welding cause collets to twist, distort, or lose their spring tension. A distorted collet doesn't just hold the tungsten poorly; it creates air gaps that increase resistance. That resistance generates excess heat inside your torch, which can damage more expensive components like the torch head itself. By keeping a fresh 57N47 collet in your setup, you protect your equipment and ensure your welds remain consistent.

Application Notes

These collets are strictly for the WP-27 series. They are physically larger than the standard collets found in 17 or 26 series torches. Make sure you are pairing this 3/32" collet with a 3/32" tungsten and the corresponding collet body for the best results. Whether you are welding thick aluminum or heavy stainless pipe, a solid connection at the collet is the foundation of a good weld.
