The ESAB 13N42 Collet Body is a critical component for TIG welding professionals utilizing the popular 9 and 20 series torch platforms. Designed to securely hold the collet and tungsten electrode in place, this collet body ensures efficient current transfer from the torch power cable to the electrode. Precision-manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, it offers excellent thermal conductivity, reducing heat buildup in the torch head and prolonging the lifespan of your consumables.
This specific model is sized for 3/32-inch (2.4mm) tungsten electrodes, a versatile size commonly used for welding medium-gauge steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The 13N42 is a standard collet body, meaning it is designed for use with standard ceramic cups rather than gas lens setups. It threads directly into the torch head of air-cooled WP-9 and water-cooled WP-20 torches, as well as the micro-tig WP-24 and WP-25 series.
Maintaining a secure electrical connection is vital for arc stability. A worn or damaged collet body can lead to arc wandering, poor starts, and overheating. The ESAB 13N42 is built to tight tolerances to ensure the collet compresses evenly around the tungsten, providing a consistent electrical contact point. Whether you are performing intricate aerospace work or general fabrication, relying on genuine or high-quality aftermarket equivalents like this ESAB component ensures your equipment performs at its peak.
