OVERVIEW

Keep Your Torch Secure with the Weldcraft 18R-1 Nylon Screw

There is nothing more annoying than a TIG torch handle that starts to wobble in the middle of a bead. It throws off your control, makes the torch feel cheap, and can actually be a safety issue if it slips too far. The Miller Weldcraft 18R-1 Nylon Screw kit is the exact fix you need to tighten everything back up. These aren't just random plastic screws you can find at the hardware store; they are genuine Weldcraft parts designed to fit your WP-17, WP-18, or WP-26 torch perfectly. Because they are made of nylon, they ensure that no electricity travels from the torch body to your hand—a crucial safety feature that metal screws simply can't provide.

We know how easy it is to drop a small screw in a dark shop or have one roll under the welding table, never to be seen again. That is why this product comes as a convenient 2-pack. You can fix the torch you are working on right now and toss the spare in your toolbox for the next time you need it. These screws are built to handle the heat of the welding environment, but like all consumables, they can wear out over years of use. Replacing them is a cheap and easy way to make your old torch feel brand new again.

Whether you are running a water-cooled WP-18 or an air-cooled WP-26, the handle is your primary interface with the weld. Keeping it secure means better arc control and less fatigue on your wrist. Don't settle for makeshift fixes like tape or glue when the proper part is affordable and readily available. The 18R-1 screws thread in smoothly and hold tight, giving you the confidence that your equipment is ready for whatever job comes through the door.

Grab a pack of these today and keep your rig in top shape. It’s a small part that makes a big difference in how your torch handles day in and day out. Compatible with a wide range of Weldcraft and Miller TIG torches, this is a must-have for your spare parts kit.

FAQ

The 18R-1 screw is made of durable nylon to provide electrical insulation and prevent conductivity through the torch handle.

This product is sold as a package of 2 screws.

It is compatible with Weldcraft WP-17, WP-18, WP-26, CS300, and CS310 series TIG torches.

Nylon is non-conductive. Using a metal screw could create an electrical path from the torch body to the handle, posing a shock hazard to the welder.

While it is designed for Miller/Weldcraft torches, it may fit other 17/18/26 style torches that use standard industry designs, but fitment is only guaranteed for Weldcraft.

Yes, this is a genuine Miller Weldcraft replacement part.

No, a standard flat-head screwdriver is typically all that is required to install these screws.

If the torch body threads are stripped, a new screw may not hold. You might need to replace the torch body itself.
