OVERVIEW

Weldcraft 57Y04 Short Back Cap (Bulk Pack)

The Weldcraft 57Y04 Short Back Cap is a specialized TIG torch component designed to minimize the overall length of the torch head assembly. Compatible with industry-standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches (including WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26), this back cap is essential for applications requiring access to confined spaces or complex geometries. By replacing the standard long back cap with this compact "button" style cap, operators can maneuver the torch into tight corners, pipe clusters, and narrow gaps without compromising the electrode angle.

Constructed from high-quality, heat-resistant phenolic material, the 57Y04 withstands the thermal stresses of high-amperage welding environments. It features a precision-molded thread and a durable O-ring seal that ensures a gas-tight fit, preventing atmospheric contamination of the shield gas stream. This specific SKU (269390) is a bulk offering containing 800 units, making it an ideal procurement choice for large-scale fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and industrial supply distributors looking to maintain substantial inventory levels of critical consumables.

FAQ

It fits 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, including WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26.

A short back cap reduces the length of the torch, allowing access to tight spaces where a standard long cap would obstruct movement.

Yes, each back cap includes a sealing O-ring to prevent gas leakage.

It is made from a high-temperature phenolic material designed to resist heat and electrical current.

This specific SKU contains 800 short back caps.

No, because the cap is short, you must use a shortened piece of tungsten (stub) or cut your tungsten down to fit.

Yes, this is a genuine Weldcraft (Miller Electric) product.
