10N32 - 10N32 TIG Collet Body 3/32" (2.4mm) for 17/18/26 Torches

Reliable 10N32 Collet Body for Precision TIG Welding

The Generic 10N32 Collet Body is an essential consumable for TIG welders utilizing 3/32-inch (2.4mm) tungsten electrodes. Designed to meet or exceed industry standards, this collet body serves as the critical interface between the TIG torch head and the collet, ensuring the electrode is held securely in place while facilitating the transfer of welding current. Manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, it offers excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, which is vital for maintaining a stable arc and preventing overheating during prolonged welding sessions.

This component is engineered for universal compatibility with the popular 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches. Whether you are using an air-cooled WP-17 or WP-26, or a water-cooled WP-18, this 10N32 collet body installs seamlessly. It features precision-machined threads that screw directly into the torch body, providing a tight seal that helps prevent gas leakage. The standard gas ports are positioned to distribute shielding gas effectively around the tungsten and the weld pool, protecting the molten metal from atmospheric contamination.

For fabricators and maintenance professionals, having a reliable supply of collet bodies is crucial. Over time, heat cycles and mechanical wear can degrade the threads or distort the shape of the collet body, leading to poor current transfer or gas coverage issues. This generic replacement offers a cost-effective solution without compromising on performance, making it an ideal choice for workshops that demand quality and value. It pairs perfectly with standard 10N24 collets and compatible alumina nozzles.

Key Technical Benefits
