Pro-source 315100008 Tig Torch Nozzle Insulator 0.70 in

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 315100008 is a nozzle insulator designed for TIG torch assemblies. This component fits between the nozzle and the torch body, providing electrical isolation and heat resistance during the welding process. It measures 0.700 inches in length and is sold individually per package. Licensed welding technicians and skilled trade professionals typically handle torch component replacement as part of routine TIG torch maintenance. Keeping the insulator in good condition helps maintain arc stability and prevents shorts between the nozzle and the torch head.

This nozzle insulator is intended for use with TIG torch models 9 and 20, which are among the most common air-cooled TIG torch configurations found in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and field welding applications. It serves as a direct replacement component when the original insulator shows signs of cracking, burning, or degradation from heat cycling. The compact profile allows installation without specialized tools beyond standard torch disassembly practice.

Key Features

• Provides electrical isolation between the nozzle and torch body during TIG welding
• 0.700-inch length fits the geometry of torch models 9 and 20
• Compact footprint: 0.75 inches height and width, 0.28 inches depth
• Lightweight at 0.012 pounds, adding no measurable bulk to the torch assembly
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement as needed
• Minimum order quantity of 2 units makes it practical for stocking as a consumable

Compatibility

Designed for use with TIG torch models 9 and 20 as stated by the manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Installation and replacement of TIG torch nozzle insulators should be performed by a qualified welding technician or trades professional familiar with TIG torch assembly. Always disconnect the torch from the power source and allow it to cool completely before disassembling any torch components. Handle the insulator carefully to avoid cracking, as fractures can compromise electrical isolation and create arc faults during operation. Inspect adjacent torch components such as the collet body, back cap, and nozzle for wear while the assembly is apart.
