A TIG torch expendables kit provides a comprehensive collection of front-end consumables for industry-standard 17, 18, and 26 series torches. Designed for both air-cooled and water-cooled systems, our kits support diverse configurations, including standard, gas lens, and stubby setups. The stubby components allow heavy-duty torches to utilize compact nozzles, significantly improving maneuverability and visibility in confined work environments without sacrificing amperage capacity.
As a dedicated manufacturer, we supply precision-machined collets, collet bodies, and high-performance gas lenses across all primary diameters: 1/16″, 3/32″, and 1/8″. The kits are complemented by a selection of high-purity alumina ceramic cups (typically sizes #5 to #10) and versatile back caps in short, medium, and long profiles. Optional 2% lanthanated tungsten electrodes are also included to ensure immediate operational readiness for professional fabrication.
Each kit is housed in a heavy-duty industrial storage case, providing organized management for maintenance and field operations. This systematic approach reduces downtime, simplifies inventory control for B2B procurement, and ensures full compatibility with global TIG torch platforms and standard industrial equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a TIG torch expendables kit and what components does it include?
A TIG torch expendables kit is a comprehensive, centralized collection of front-end consumables designed for 17, 18, and 26 series torches. Our kits are engineered for universal compatibility with all major global TIG torch platforms and include precision-machined collets, collet bodies, gas lenses, alumina ceramic cups, and various back cap lengths to support standard and gas lens configurations.
What are the main performance advantages of using a gas lens expendables kit?
The primary advantage of a gas lens system is its ability to transform turbulent shielding gas into a smooth, laminar flow. This results in a significantly more stable welding arc and superior gas coverage of the weld pool. By providing components for multiple diameters (ranging from 1/16
Can this kit be used for stubby gas lens configurations?
Yes, our kits are designed with versatile stubby conversion hardware. This allows the larger 17, 18, and 26 series torches to utilize compact nozzles typically reserved for 9 and 20 series torches. This feature significantly reduces the overall torch profile, providing superior maneuverability in confined joints while maintaining the high amperage capacity of the larger torch bodies.
What are the benefits of the included industrial storage case?
The heavy-duty industrial organizer case is essential for efficient inventory management and component protection. It keeps small, precision-machined parts sorted and prevents contamination from shop dust and debris. For B2B procurement and field operations, this organization ensures that the correct replacement part is always accessible, reducing downtime and facilitating easy transport between job sites.
Are these expendables kits covered by a warranty?
As a specialized manufacturer, RAX Industrial stands behind our products with a 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Every component in the kit is produced under strict ISO-certified quality control standards to ensure dimensional accuracy, high thermal resistance, and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
