Item Details

  • The Radnor 64005643 (Industry Part Number 57Y02) is a long-style TIG back cap designed for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) torches. It functions as a mechanical seal and electrode securing mechanism, specifically engineered for the 3-Series (Large) TIG torch family to provide a gas-tight seal and electrical insulation during high-amperage operations.

Features

  • Full-Length Tungsten Accommodation: Allows for the use of full 7-inch (175mm) tungsten electrodes to minimize waste
  • Electrode Tensioning: Compresses the collet against the collet body to create a friction lock preventing electrode slippage
  • Atmospheric Seal: Integrated O-ring creates a gas-tight seal to direct shielding gas (Argon/Helium) to the weld pool
  • Electrical Insulation: Plastic body provides a dielectric barrier between the energized electrode and the operator
  • Heat Resistance: Material composition designed to withstand radiant heat and high-amperage operations
  • Threaded Design: Allows for secure installation and removal to minimize downtime
