Esab 13N23 Tig Torch Collet 3/32 Inch HW-20 HW-9 HW-25

Product Description

The ESAB 13N23 is a 3/32 inch TIG torch collet designed to hold tungsten electrodes securely during gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) operations. The collet fits inside the torch body and provides the electrical contact and clamping force needed to maintain a stable arc. Installed by certified welders and welding technicians, this collet is a direct replacement consumable that keeps TIG torches running at proper performance. Its 3/32 inch bore matches standard 3/32 inch tungsten electrode stock, making it a commonly specified size in both shop and field welding environments.

This collet is suited for light-duty to medium-duty TIG welding applications in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field welding operations. It is compatible with the HW-20, HW-9, and HW-25 torch series. These torch platforms are widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial welding contexts where precise, clean welds are required on steel, stainless, and aluminum workpieces.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified welder or welding technician. Before replacing the collet, disconnect the torch from the power source and allow it to cool completely. Insert the collet into the torch body and seat it fully before threading on the back cap and collet body. Do not overtighten the collet body, as this can deform the collet and damage the tungsten.
