Use the breakdown
Match the diagram number, tungsten diameter, cup size, and gas lens or standard setup before ordering.
Then choose consumables
Cups, collets, gas lenses, collet bodies, back caps, and tungsten are series-specific.
Parts breakdown
Use the numbered diagram first, then match the part-number table in the image by tungsten diameter, cup size, and standard or gas lens setup.
Clickable breakdown key
Use this table to jump from the diagram number to the right part family. The diagram image above carries the detailed part-number matrix.
| Diagram number | Part family | What to verify | Lookup path |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 / 5 / 8 / 11 / 15 | Insulators | Required insulator changes by standard, gas lens, large-diameter, or stubby setup. | Search parts |
| 2 / 12 | Collets | Match tungsten diameter before choosing the collet. | Search parts |
| 3 / 6 / 9 / 13 / 16 | Collet body or gas lens | Choose standard, gas lens, large-diameter gas lens, or stubby gas lens setup. | Search parts |
| 4 / 7 / 10 / 14 / 17 | Cup / nozzle | Cup style and size follow the setup row in the diagram table. | Search parts |
| 18 / 19 / 20 | Back caps | Short, medium, and long back-cap options shown on the diagram. | Search parts |
Common replacement groups
| Replacement group | What to verify | Support path |

Verify torch series before ordering
TIG front-end parts are not universal. Match the torch series, tungsten diameter, gas lens or standard setup, and cooling requirement before ordering. Amazon links remain optional buying references only and are not used as compatibility truth.

What to check first
Unstable arc
Inspect tungsten contamination first. Verify collet tightness. Inspect cup or gas lens seating. Verify shielding gas flow.
Poor gas coverage
Inspect cup condition. Verify gas lens seating. Check flow rate. Inspect hose or fitting leaks.
Tungsten splitting
Verify polarity. Verify amperage. Inspect shielding gas coverage. Confirm tungsten type and diameter.
