For professional TIG welders, the difference between a good weld and a perfect weld often comes down to gas coverage. The Weldcraft 13N22L 1/16" Collet is the key to unlocking the potential of your Large Diameter Gas Lens setup on 9, 20, or 25 series torches. If you are upgrading to a large gas lens to achieve that champagne-color weld on stainless steel or titanium, this is the collet you need to hold your 1/16" tungsten securely.
Gas lenses are a game-changer in TIG welding because they organize the shielding gas into a coherent, laminar column. This allows you to extend your tungsten electrode much further past the cup—sometimes up to an inch or more—without losing shielding. This "stick-out" capability is invaluable when welding inside corners, tight angles, or complex tube clusters where a standard cup would block your view or fail to provide coverage. The 13N22L collet is the internal mechanism that makes this possible for 1/16" electrodes, ensuring the current transfer is smooth and the electrode remains centered.
Weldcraft is the industry standard for TIG torch components, and these collets are built to last. Cheap knock-offs often have poor machining that can pinch the tungsten or fail to tighten evenly, leading to arc wandering or frustrating slippage. With genuine Weldcraft 13N22L collets, you get consistent performance every time you strike an arc. Sold in a convenient 2-pack, these collets are a must-have for any serious fabricator's kit. Keep your torch running cool and your welds clean with the right consumables.
Don't let a worn-out or incorrect collet compromise your weld quality. Replace deformed or scorched collets immediately to maintain the precise current transfer required for high-quality TIG welding.
