Molten Weld

A short back cap for a TIG torch is a welding accessory that threads into the back of the torch body to hold the tungsten electrode securely in place. The short design is useful for working in confined spaces and for welders who prefer less bulk. They are typically made from plastic and copper and are available for different torch series.
Compatibility by torch seriesThe primary factor in choosing a short back cap is the TIG torch series you own.

• For WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 series torches (standard): These torches use the 57Y04 part number for a short back cap.
  • WP-17: Air-cooled, 150 amps.
  • WP-18: Water-cooled, 350 amps.
  • WP-26: Air-cooled, 200 amps.
• For WP-9, WP-20, and WP-25 series torches (miniature): These smaller torches use the 41V33 part number for a short back cap.
• For WP-12 series torches (specialty): This series uses the 56Y45 part number for a short back cap. 

Benefits of a short back cap

• Access in confined areas: The shorter length allows the torch to get into tighter spaces where a standard or long back cap would be an obstruction.
• Ergonomics: Provides a smaller, lighter feel, which can reduce hand fatigue during intricate welding jobs.
