OVERVIEW

Complete TIG Torch Consumable Kit

The Weldcraft AK2C Ceriated Accessory Kit is an essential package for welders operating A-150 (formerly WP-17) series TIG torches. Designed to provide everything needed to start welding or replenish stock, this kit eliminates the hassle of ordering individual parts. Whether you are a hobbyist working in a garage or a professional in a fabrication shop, having a matched set of consumables ensures your torch performs at its best.

This kit is specifically curated for air-cooled, 150-amp applications. It features a range of sizes for collets, collet bodies, and nozzles, allowing users to adapt to different joint configurations and material thicknesses immediately. The inclusion of a short back cap is particularly useful for maneuvering the torch into confined spaces where a standard long cap would be obstructive.

One of the standout features of the AK2C kit is the inclusion of 2% Ceriated tungsten electrodes. Ceriated tungsten is a versatile, non-radioactive alternative to thoriated tungsten, known for its easy arc starting and stability across both DC and AC welding processes. This makes the kit suitable for welding carbon steel, stainless steel, and even aluminum in certain setups.

Key Benefits:

  • Convenience: All necessary front-end parts in one package.
  • Versatility: Multiple sizes of nozzles and collets included.
  • Quality: Genuine Weldcraft parts ensure durability and fit.

By choosing the Weldcraft AK2C, you ensure compatibility with most major brands of 17-series torches, making it a universal solution for many standard air-cooled TIG setups.

FAQ

The AK2C kit is designed for Weldcraft A-150 series torches. It is also fully compatible with legacy WP-17, WP-17V, and most major brands of 17-series air-cooled TIG torches.

The kit includes three 7-inch tungsten electrodes that are 2% Ceriated (grey color code).

Yes, 2% Ceriated tungsten can be used for AC welding of aluminum, particularly with modern inverter-based machines, although it is primarily optimized for DC welding of steel and stainless steel.

The kit contains consumables in three sizes: .040" (1.0mm), 1/16" (1.6mm), and 3/32" (2.4mm). This applies to the collets, collet bodies, and tungsten.

Yes, it includes one short back cap, which is ideal for welding in tight spaces.

Yes, the kit includes Alumina (ceramic) nozzles in sizes #4, #5, and #6.

Generally, no. This kit is designed for 17-series air-cooled torches. Water-cooled torches (like the WP-18 or WP-20) typically use different consumable form factors, although some parts like collets might interchange depending on the specific series (18 series often shares parts with 17, but 20 series does not). Always check your torch manual.
