OVERVIEW

Get Started with the Right TIG Gear

Ready to fire up your TIG torch? The Weldcraft AK1C Accessory Kit takes the hassle out of buying individual parts. Whether you just bought a new WP-9 air-cooled torch or you're running a WP-20 water-cooled setup, this kit has everything you need to get welding immediately. Instead of hunting down matching collets, bodies, and cups, you get a perfectly matched set in one convenient package.

This kit features Ceriated Tungsten (the ones with the grey tip). Ceriated tungsten is a fantastic all-rounder. It starts easily at low amps, holds a sharp point well, and works great on both steel and stainless steel. It's also a safer, non-radioactive alternative to the old red-tip Thoriated tungsten. The kit includes three popular sizes—.040", 1/16", and 3/32"—so you can tackle everything from delicate sheet metal to thicker structural brackets without needing to run to the store.

What's Inside the Box?

  • Tungsten: Three pieces of 2% Ceriated tungsten (7" long).
  • Collets & Bodies: Matched sets for all three tungsten sizes to ensure a tight grip and good electrical contact.
  • Cups: Three alumina nozzles (#4, #5, #6) to give you the right gas coverage for different joints.
  • Back Cap: One long back cap to hold your full-length tungsten.

Don't guess which parts fit your torch. Stick with genuine Weldcraft quality to ensure your gas flows smoothly and your arc stays stable. The AK1C is the perfect "glovebox kit" for any TIG welder using 9 or 20 series torches.
