The Lincoln Electric KP2031-3B1 Collet Body is an essential consumable for professional TIG welders seeking consistency and precision. Designed to accommodate 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) tungsten electrodes, this collet body acts as the critical interface between the torch head and the collet, ensuring the electrode is held securely in place while facilitating the smooth transfer of welding current. Manufactured to Lincoln Electric's rigorous standards, these components are built to withstand the thermal stresses of daily industrial use.
This product corresponds to the industry-standard part number 13N27, making it a direct replacement for standard setups on air-cooled and water-cooled torches. It is specifically engineered for compatibility with 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, which are among the most common torch styles found in fabrication shops, automotive garages, and maintenance departments. Using genuine Lincoln parts helps maintain the integrity of your welding equipment, reducing the likelihood of arc instability caused by poor electrical contact or gas turbulence.
Proper maintenance of your TIG torch is vital for achieving high-quality welds. The collet body should be inspected regularly for signs of wear, such as thread damage or deformation from heat, which can impede gas flow or cause the tungsten to slip. This convenient 5-pack ensures you always have spares on hand, minimizing downtime during critical projects. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, starting with a fresh, high-quality collet body helps establish a stable arc and produces cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing beads.
