Replace first

Common Wear Guidance

1. Inspect the cup

Cracked or contaminated cups are the fastest visual check when gas coverage is poor.

2. Match collet to tungsten

Loose tungsten usually points to the wrong collet size or a worn collet before the whole torch is bad.

3. Verify gas lens or collet body

If the arc is unstable or gas coverage is poor, confirm the front-end style before buying parts.

Verify fitment

Check Before Ordering

Confirm torch family first

CK front-end parts are series-specific. Match the torch family before ordering cups, collets, or gas lens parts.

Match tungsten diameter

The collet and collet body must match the tungsten diameter. A near-match can cause poor arc starts or loose tungsten.

Standard vs gas lens

Do not mix standard collet bodies, gas lenses, and large-diameter gas lens cups unless the setup is confirmed.
