Collet bodies (diffusers) for ST17 / ST26 TIG torch (3 units)

A firmly held electrode and evenly distributed gas: that is how a good TIG bead begins. Kit of 3 diffusers (collet bodies) for ST17 and ST26 TIG torches, the part that houses the electrode collet and distributes the gas inside the ceramic cup.

A diffuser of the right size keeps the tungsten firm and centred, and distributes the argon evenly over the weld pool. Choose the size of your tungsten electrode: 1.6, 2.0, 2.4 or 3.2 mm.

✅ Key benefits

  • Precise hold: the electrode does not wobble or become contaminated by touching the workpiece.
  • Even gas flow: distributes the shielding gas inside the cup.
  • Four sizes: from 1.6 to 3.2 mm for every electrode diameter.
  • Pack of 3: spares for several working days.

🏗️ What it's for

  • ST17 and ST26 TIG torches.
  • TIG welding of steel, stainless steel and aluminium.
  • Boilermaking, stainless steel and maintenance workshops.
  • Changing electrode diameter on the torch.

📋 Technical features

  • Part: TIG diffuser (collet body)
  • Contents: 3 diffusers
  • Sizes: 1.6 · 2.0 · 2.4 · 3.2 mm
  • Compatibility: ST17 and ST26 TIG torches

How to choose the size

The diffuser size must match the diameter of the tungsten electrode and the electrode collet. If you switch to a thicker electrode, change the collet and diffuser as well.

💡 Vetonek tip: always use a collet and diffuser of the same size as the electrode: if they do not match, the tungsten moves, becomes contaminated and the arc turns unstable. Keep a set of each size you use regularly.
