10-4023 - IPS TIG Welding Starter Kit with Consumables and Tungsten

Comprehensive TIG Consumable Assortment

The IPS TIG Starter Kit (SKU: 10-4023) is a professionally curated assembly of essential Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) consumables designed to equip welders with the fundamental components required for immediate operation. This kit addresses the common logistical challenge of sourcing individual torch parts by providing a compatible set of collets, collet bodies, alumina nozzles, and tungsten electrodes in a single package. It is engineered to support standard TIG torch configurations, ensuring seamless integration into existing welding setups.

For industrial procurement and maintenance teams, this starter kit represents a strategic inventory item. It serves as an excellent "first-fill" package for new welding stations or as a rapid-response maintenance kit for field technicians. The components are manufactured to meet rigorous industry standards for conductivity, heat resistance, and dimensional accuracy. The collets and collet bodies are precision-machined to ensure optimal electrical contact and secure tungsten retention, which is critical for maintaining a stable arc and preventing tungsten contamination or slippage during operation.

The inclusion of various sizes of alumina nozzles allows operators to adapt gas coverage based on the joint configuration and tungsten stick-out requirements. Furthermore, the kit typically includes back caps to accommodate different torch positions and access constraints. By consolidating these critical wear parts into the 10-4023 kit, IPS simplifies supply chain management and reduces the administrative burden of tracking multiple SKUs for basic torch maintenance.

Technical Specifications and Utility

The 10-4023 kit is designed for versatility. Whether used in a fabrication shop, a maintenance repair operation (MRO), or an educational setting, the components provide reliable performance across various amperage ranges suitable for the torch class. The tungsten electrodes included are selected for general-purpose applications, allowing for immediate arc initiation on common base metals such as carbon steel and stainless steel. This pre-packaged solution ensures that all mating parts—collet to collet body to torch head—fit correctly, mitigating the risk of gas leaks or poor shielding coverage that can result from mismatched generic components.
