Value Collection 315060056 Tig Torch Collet 5/32 Inch

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315060056 is a TIG torch collet sized at 5/32 inches, designed to hold tungsten electrodes securely inside a TIG welding torch body. The collet fits inside the torch head and maintains electrode alignment and electrical contact during the welding arc. Proper collet fit is critical for arc stability and consistent weld quality. This collet corresponds to industry standard designation 54N20, providing a reliable reference point for cross-referencing and replacement sourcing. It is a consumable component replaced routinely by welding technicians and maintenance personnel during torch service intervals.

This collet is suited for use with TIG torch models 18 and 26, which are among the most widely used air-cooled TIG torch platforms in light industrial and fabrication shops. It is appropriate for both shop and field service applications where these torch bodies are in active use. The 5/32 inch size matches tungsten electrode stock of the same diameter, making it a direct consumable replacement during standard torch maintenance.

Key Features

• 5/32 inch collet size for use with matching tungsten electrode diameter
• Industry standard designation 54N20 for cross-reference identification
• Compatible with torch models 18 and 26
• Lightweight consumable at 0.1 pounds for minimal torch weight impact
• Sold individually as a single unit per package

Compatibility

Compatible with TIG torch models 18 and 26. Industry standard part number 54N20 may be used for cross-reference with equivalent collets from other manufacturers.

Installation Notes

TIG torch collets are installed and replaced by welding technicians as part of routine torch maintenance. Before servicing the torch, disconnect the power source and allow the torch to cool completely. The collet is inserted into the torch body and secured by the collet body and back cap assembly. Avoid overtightening the back cap, as this can deform the collet and affect electrode grip and arc performance.
