All the TIG torch accessories you need to get started in one kit, including collets, collet bodies, and nozzles.

Kits with Ceramic Nozzles

Ceramic nozzles are durable and economical—a good choice for most applications, although they do limit visibility, unlike glass. The nozzles thread directly onto the collet bodies.

Kits with Borosilicate Glass Nozzles

With a clear glass nozzle, you'll be able to see what you're working on, even when space is cramped. Glass nozzles are not as durable as ceramic nozzles, however. Instead of threads, the collet bodies have O-rings; push the nozzle onto the collet body, and the O-ring holds it in place.

These kits include a diffuser that smooths the flow of shielding gas, so the gas goes where you want it and isn't wasted. Shielding gas prevents oxidation and pitting, which weaken welds. Having reliable gas coverage means your electrode can stick out farther and reach into tight spots while staying inside the cloud of gas.

Narrow nozzles work well with most metals.

Wide nozzles spray a large cloud of shielding gas that helps with tough-to-weld metals, such as titanium and Inconel. Because of their size, they’re harder to fit into corners than standard nozzles.

Prevent shielding gas from escaping and protect torch components from excessive heat—these insulators form a seal between nozzle and torch. Choose an insulator that works with your torch’s series number and nozzle’s material.
