13N26 - Weldcraft 13N26 Standard Collet Body .040 (5-Pack)

Reliable Performance for Your TIG Torch

Keep your TIG torch running smoothly with the genuine Weldcraft 13N26 Collet Body. Designed for welders who demand consistency, this 5-pack of collet bodies is the standard replacement part for holding .040" (1.0mm) tungsten in popular torch models. Whether you are running an air-cooled WP-9 in your garage or a water-cooled WP-20 in an industrial production line, these collet bodies ensure your setup is secure and ready to lay down perfect beads.

The collet body is the heart of your torch's front end. It screws into the torch head and holds the collet that grips your tungsten. If your collet body is worn out, dirty, or cross-threaded, you'll experience poor current transfer, which leads to an unstable arc, wandering puddles, and frustrating starts. Using genuine Weldcraft parts means you get the right fit every time, with high-quality copper that handles the heat without warping or seizing up in the torch head.

This specific model, the 13N26, is sized for .040" tungsten. This size is typically used for very fine, detailed work on thin-gauge materials like sheet metal, stainless steel tubing, or delicate aluminum repairs. When working at low amperages required for thin metal, a stable electrical connection is even more critical; a high-quality collet body helps maintain that stability so you can focus on your puddle control rather than fighting your equipment.

Why choose the 5-pack? TIG consumables are wear items. Heat, spatter, and constant tightening and loosening take their toll. Having a pack of five in your toolbox means you are never stuck waiting for parts in the middle of a job. Swap out your old, discolored, or damaged collet body with a fresh 13N26 to restore optimal conductivity and gas flow to your torch immediately.
