OVERVIEW

Genuine Lincoln Electric TIG Torch Component

The Lincoln Electric KP52067-1 is a high-quality Long Back Cap designed for select Lincoln Electric TIG welding torches. As a critical component of the TIG torch assembly, the back cap serves two primary functions: it applies necessary pressure to the collet to secure the tungsten electrode in place, and it seals the back of the torch head to prevent shielding gas from escaping. This specific model is the "Long" version, which is engineered to accommodate new, full-length (7-inch) tungsten electrodes, making it the standard choice for most welding operations where maximizing electrode life is a priority.

Manufactured to Lincoln Electric's exacting standards, this back cap is constructed from durable, high-temperature phenolic materials capable of withstanding the intense radiant heat generated during the TIG welding process. It features precision threading for a smooth fit into the torch body and comes equipped with a high-quality O-ring seal. This seal is vital for maintaining the integrity of the shielding gas envelope, preventing atmospheric contamination that could lead to weld defects such as porosity or oxidation. Whether you are replacing a damaged cap or stocking up on spares, the KP52067-1 ensures your equipment remains reliable and ready for industrial use.

FAQ

The back cap screws into the back of the TIG torch head, pushing the collet against the collet body to grip the tungsten electrode. It also seals the torch to prevent gas leaks.

Yes, the KP52067-1 typically includes the necessary O-ring installed to ensure a gas-tight seal.

Yes, you can use short tungsten with a long back cap, but the cap will still protrude from the back of the torch. For tight spaces, a short or medium back cap is recommended.

Yes, this is a genuine OEM part manufactured by Lincoln Electric, ensuring high quality and perfect compatibility.

It is made from a high-temperature phenolic or polymer material designed to withstand the heat of welding without melting or cracking.

Check your welder's manual or the parts breakdown for your specific TIG torch model. This part is designed for specific Lincoln Electric torch series.

Over time, the threads can wear out, the O-ring can dry rot, or the cap can crack from heat/impact, leading to gas leaks and poor arc performance.

Consumables like back caps generally do not carry a long-term warranty unless there is a manufacturing defect upon arrival.
