53N14 - Weldcraft 53N14 1/16-inch Collet for 24 Series Torches (5-Pack)

Genuine Weldcraft 53N14 Collet for Precision TIG Welding

The Weldcraft 53N14 Collet is a high-performance consumable designed to secure 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) tungsten electrodes within compatible TIG torch bodies. Manufactured by Weldcraft (a Miller Electric brand), this collet is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial welding environments. It is specifically designed for use with the 24 Series TIG torches, as well as the A-80, W-180, and Modular series torches. By maintaining a tight grip on the electrode, the collet ensures efficient current transfer from the power source to the tungsten, which is critical for maintaining a stable and focused arc.

Constructed from high-grade copper alloy, the 53N14 collet offers superior thermal conductivity and durability. Over time, collets can deform due to heat cycling and mechanical tightening, leading to poor arc starts and wandering arcs. Replacing worn collets with genuine Weldcraft parts restores the torch's performance and extends the life of other front-end consumables. This product is supplied in a pack of five, providing welders with necessary spares to minimize downtime during critical fabrication tasks.

Proper installation of the collet is essential for the longevity of the torch head. The 53N14 fits seamlessly inside the collet body of 24 series torches, allowing for the use of smaller nozzles and reducing the overall torch head length. This compact configuration is particularly advantageous when accessing confined areas or welding in tight corners where standard torches cannot reach.
