OVERVIEW

Complete TIG Welding Accessory Kit for 17, 18, and 26 Series Torches

The Accessory Kit AK-1 is an essential collection of consumables designed to keep your TIG welding operations running smoothly. Whether you are a professional fabricator or a hobbyist, having the right parts on hand is critical for maintaining arc stability and weld quality. This kit is specifically curated to fit the industry-standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, making it a versatile addition to any welding shop.

Inside the organized storage case, you will find a selection of the most commonly used components required for standard TIG setups. This includes a variety of collets and collet bodies sized to accommodate different tungsten electrode diameters. By having multiple sizes available, you can quickly switch between heavy-duty welding and fine detail work without searching for compatible parts. The kit also features durable alumina ceramic nozzles (cups) in various orifice sizes, allowing you to control gas coverage effectively depending on your joint configuration and stick-out requirements.

One of the key benefits of the AK-1 kit is the inclusion of both long and short back caps. The long back cap is ideal for standard welding, accommodating full-length tungsten electrodes, while the short back cap is indispensable when welding in tight, confined spaces where torch maneuverability is limited. All metal components are machined from high-quality copper alloys to ensure excellent electrical conductivity and heat resistance, while the ceramic cups are designed to withstand the thermal shock of high-amperage welding.

Investing in a pre-packaged kit like the AK-1 is significantly more cost-effective than purchasing individual components separately. It ensures that you have a baseline inventory of spares, reducing downtime caused by worn or damaged parts. Whether you are setting up a new torch or replenishing your consumables, the AK-1 Accessory Kit provides the reliability and convenience needed for consistent TIG welding performance.

FAQ

The AK-1 kit is compatible with 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, including both air-cooled and water-cooled models.

The kit typically includes a selection of collets, collet bodies, alumina nozzles (cups), a long back cap, and a short back cap.

While some variations might, the standard AK-1 kit focuses on the hardware (collets, bodies, cups, caps). Tungsten is usually sold separately.

No, the AK-1 is for 17/18/26 series. For 9 and 20 series torches, you would typically need an AK-2 kit.

The long back cap accommodates full-length tungsten electrodes, while the short back cap is used for tight spaces and requires shorter tungsten.

This is a generic kit designed to be compatible with major brands like Weldcraft, Miller, Lincoln, and CK Worldwide that use the standard 17/18/26 series design.

This kit contains standard collet bodies. If you require gas lens performance, you would need to purchase a gas lens kit specifically.

Yes, the kit comes in a compartmentalized storage box to keep your parts organized.
