Matweld P/P Tig Collet Body 2.4mm Pack of 3

The Matweld P/P TIG Collet Body (MAT4135P) is a essential replacement consumable for TIG welding torches. This part acts as the primary housing that holds the collet in place, ensuring the tungsten electrode is securely clamped and that shielding gas is distributed evenly toward the ceramic nozzle.

This "P/P" (Pre-Packed) version is conveniently sold in a pack of 3, making it ideal for maintaining a workshop inventory of high-wear TIG spares.

Technical Specifications

• Product Code: MAT4135P
• Size: 2.4mm (3/32")
• Quantity: Pack of 3
• Industry Reference: 10N32
• Torch Compatibility: Designed for use with 17, 18, and 26 Series TIG torches (the most common industrial standard).
• Barcode: 6008075940195
• Weight: Approximately 0.05kg (per pack)

Key Features

• Secure Clamping: Precision-machined to provide a firm seat for 2.4mm collets, preventing electrode slippage during high-amperage welding.
• Standardized Fit: Uses the industry-standard 10N32 rating, ensuring compatibility with most global TIG torch brands using the 17/18/26 head configuration.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality copper alloy to withstand intense arc heat and provide excellent electrical conductivity.
• Optimized Gas Flow: Features side ports designed to direct argon shielding gas smoothly into the ceramic cup, reducing turbulence and protecting the weld pool from contamination.

Common Applications

• General Fabrication: Used in heavy-duty welding of mild steel and stainless steel where 2.4mm tungsten electrodes are the standard choice.
• Industrial Maintenance: A must-have for maintenance teams working with 200A to 350A TIG machines.
• Aluminium Welding: Frequently used in AC TIG welding for larger structural aluminium repairs.

Professional Usage Tips

• Match Your Sizes: Always ensure that your Collet Body, Collet, and Tungsten Electrode are all rated for the same diameter (in this case, 2.4mm). Using mismatched sizes will lead to poor gas coverage and arc instability.
• Inspect for Heat Damage: Over time, collet bodies can become distorted or clogged with "spatter" from the weld pool. If you notice a ragged flame or a loose electrode, replace the collet body immediately.
• Hand Tighten Only: Screw the collet body into the torch head hand-tight. Overtightening with tools can damage the fine threads of the torch head, which is a much more expensive repair.
• Cleaning: Periodically check the gas holes in the collet body. If they become blocked with soot or debris, gas flow will be restricted, leading to porosity in your welds.
