The Weldcraft 13N23L is a specialized collet designed specifically for use with Large Diameter Gas Lens setups on 9, 20, and 25 series TIG torches. Unlike standard 13N-series collets, this "L" designated collet features a longer geometry required to seat correctly within large diameter gas lens collet bodies (such as the 45V64 series). This precise fitment is critical for maintaining the alignment of the tungsten electrode and ensuring proper gas flow distribution through the lens assembly.
Manufactured from high-grade copper, this collet offers excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. It is sized for 3/32" (2.4mm) tungsten electrodes. The use of a large diameter gas lens system, facilitated by this collet, allows for a broader umbrella of shielding gas, which is essential for welding reactive metals like titanium or stainless steel where oxidation must be minimized. It also permits a longer tungsten stick-out, improving visibility and access into tight joints without compromising gas coverage.
This product is a genuine Weldcraft component, ensuring strict adherence to dimensional tolerances. Using genuine consumables helps prevent issues such as thread galling, poor arc starts, or overheating caused by poor electrical contact. The 13N23L is sold in a pack of two, providing a backup for critical welding operations.
