OVERVIEW

Premium Parker 13N23 TIG Collet (3/32")

The Parker 3/32" (2.4mm) TIG Collet is a high-quality consumable designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial TIG welding. Referenced by the industry-standard part number 13N23, this collet is engineered to hold 3/32-inch tungsten electrodes securely within the torch head, ensuring efficient current transfer and stable arc performance.

Manufactured from high-grade tellurium copper, this collet offers excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. It is the standard collet size and style for WP-9, WP-20, and WP-25 series TIG torches. Additionally, it is a critical component for welders utilizing "Stubby" gas lens kits on larger WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 torches. By using this smaller 13N-series collet in a stubby setup, operators can reduce the overall length of their torch front end, gaining better access to tight spaces and confined corners.

Parker Torchology products are known for their precision manufacturing tolerances. This ensures that the collet compresses evenly around the tungsten without twisting or deforming, which prolongs the life of both the collet and the collet body. Whether you are welding stainless steel, aluminum, or mild steel, maintaining a fresh, high-quality collet is essential for preventing arc instability caused by poor electrical contact.

FAQ

This collet (13N23) fits standard WP-9, WP-20, and WP-25 torches. It also fits WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 torches if they are equipped with a stubby gas lens or stubby collet body kit.

This collet is designed specifically for 3/32" (2.4mm) diameter tungsten electrodes.

This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement part manufactured by Parker Torchology, designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications.

While it is the standard length for 9/20 torches, it is significantly shorter than the standard collets for 17/18/26 torches. When used in those larger torches with an adapter kit, it creates a 'stubby' front end profile.

You should replace the collet if you notice signs of twisting, deformation, or if it no longer grips the tungsten securely. Poor contact can cause arc instability.

Yes, the collet itself is compatible with both AC and DC welding processes, provided you are using the correct tungsten type for your application.
