OVERVIEW

Precision TIG Welding in Confined Spaces

The Weldcraft 10N22S Stubby Collet is an essential accessory for professional TIG welders who frequently encounter restricted access applications. Designed to fit the industry-standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, this specialized collet allows for a significant reduction in the overall length of the torch head assembly. By converting a standard torch front-end to a "stubby" configuration, operators gain the maneuverability typically associated with smaller 9 or 20 series torches while retaining the amperage capacity of their larger equipment.

Manufactured to Miller's exacting standards, the 10N22S is precision-machined from high-conductivity copper alloy. This ensures consistent electrical contact with the tungsten electrode, minimizing resistance and heat buildup at the collet interface. This specific part is sized for 0.040-inch (1.0mm) tungsten electrodes, making it ideal for fine, low-amperage work on thin gauge materials where precision is paramount. The stubby configuration requires the use of a corresponding stubby collet body and specific alumina nozzles, which work in unison to shorten the distance from the back cap to the arc.

Using genuine Weldcraft consumables like the 10N22S ensures that your TIG torch maintains optimal gas coverage and arc stability. Inferior generic collets often suffer from poor machining tolerances, leading to slipping tungsten or uneven gas flow. With Weldcraft, you are investing in reliability. Whether you are welding roll cages, exhaust manifolds, or complex industrial piping, the ability to shorten your torch profile can be the difference between a perfect weld and a compromised repair. This product is supplied in a pack of two, ensuring you have a backup available during critical fabrication tasks.

FAQ

The 10N22S fits 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, including WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 models from Weldcraft and other major brands.

This collet is designed for 0.040-inch (1.0mm) tungsten electrodes.

Yes, to use a stubby collet, you must also use a stubby collet body (typically 17CB20) and stubby alumina nozzles (13N series) to ensure the assembly fits together correctly.

A stubby collet reduces the overall length of the torch head, allowing the welder to access tighter spaces and confined areas that a standard length setup cannot reach.

This product is sold as a pack of 2 collets.

No, this is a standard stubby collet. However, it is often used in conjunction with stubby gas lens kits for better gas coverage in tight spots.

No, 9 and 20 series torches use different consumables (13N series collets). The 10N22S is specifically for the larger 17, 18, and 26 series bodies.
