Value Collection 315060034 Tig Torch Collet 1/16 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315060034 is a 1/16 inch TIG torch collet designed to hold tungsten electrodes securely in place during gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) operations. The collet fits inside the torch body and creates the electrical contact and mechanical grip that keeps the tungsten centered and stable. Proper collet fit is critical to arc stability, electrode life, and weld quality. This collet is sized for 1/16 inch tungsten and is sold individually. It is a standard consumable replacement used by welding professionals in fabrication, pipe, and maintenance welding applications.

This collet is suited for use with Industry Standard No. 13N22 compatible TIG torches, including torch bodies designated for series 9 and 20. It is appropriate for light-duty to medium-duty GTAW work where 1/16 inch tungsten is the specified electrode diameter. Typical install scenarios include torch rebuild during scheduled maintenance or electrode diameter changes on air-cooled TIG torches used in shop and field welding environments.

Key Features

• Sized for 1/16 inch tungsten electrodes
• Compatible with Industry Standard No. 13N22 torch configuration
• Fits series 9 and 20 TIG torch bodies
• Standard consumable for GTAW torch maintenance
• Lightweight design for minimal torch weight impact

Compatibility

Compatible with TIG torch series 9 and 20 bodies following Industry Standard No. 13N22 collet specifications for 1/16 inch tungsten electrode diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified welders or welding technicians. Always disconnect the torch from the power source and allow the torch to cool completely before replacing consumables. Thread the collet into the torch body by hand and avoid cross-threading or overtightening, which can damage the collet body or torch head. Verify electrode diameter matches collet bore size before assembly to ensure proper grip and arc performance.
