PowerWeld PWAK-2-TH 13PC TIG Accessory Kit for Series 17 Torch – Thoriated

The PowerWeld PWAK-2-TH 13-piece TIG accessory kit is set up for welders who prefer 2% thoriated red tungsten for DC TIG welding. Built for WP17, WP18, and WP26 style torches, this kit combines standard ceramic cups, collets, collet bodies, a short back cap, and three sizes of EWTh-2 tungsten electrodes. Instead of ordering each TIG consumable separately, welders can keep this kit in the toolbox or service truck and have the main 17 series parts needed for DC TIG work on carbon steel, stainless steel, nickel alloys, titanium, and copper.

The included 2% thoriated tungsten electrodes in .040″, 1/16″, and 3/32″ diameters match the collets and collet bodies supplied in the kit. #4, #5, and #6 ceramic cups give shielding options for different joint sizes and access, while the short back cap helps shorten the torch for tight spaces. From setting up a new 17 series torch to refreshing a hard-used torch in the shop, the PWAK-2-TH offers a DC-focused, ready-to-use set of consumables for serious TIG work.

Markets

• Welding and Fabrication Shops Keeps DC TIG stations supplied with the most-used 17 series consumables.
• Construction and Structural Steel Supports DC TIG repairs and tie-ins on stainless and carbon steel handrails, brackets, and details.
• Automotive and Motorsport Fabrication Provides collets, cups, and thoriated tungsten for chassis, suspension, and header work.
• Manufacturing and Industrial Maintenance Handy for plant maintenance crews welding carbon steel and stainless steel equipment.
• Aerospace and Specialty Metal Work Supplies 2% thoriated tungsten for DC TIG on nickel alloys and titanium.
• Municipal and Facility Maintenance Simple way to keep shop TIG torches ready for DC repairs on stainless and steel fixtures.
• Trade Schools and Welding Programs Ideal for setting up student 17 series torches with a complete DC TIG kit.

Fabrication shops and maintenance teams value the PowerWeld PWAK-2-TH because it lines up with how many welders actually use their 17 series torch—mainly for DC TIG on steel, stainless, and similar alloys. With three thoriated tungsten sizes plus matched collets and collet bodies, welders can switch from light-gauge work to heavier joints without searching for loose parts. The selection of #4, #5, and #6 ceramic cups covers typical groove, fillet, and repair welds, while the short back cap helps when the torch has to fit between tubes, inside frames, or around fixtures.

Training labs and job trailers see similar benefits. Instructors can issue one kit per booth so students always have the correct DC tungsten sizes and torch components. Service trucks can carry a PWAK-2-TH with each 17 series torch so technicians can deal with worn cups or bent collets on the spot. The result is less time chasing small parts and more time with the arc lit on the work.

Why Customers Choose the PowerWeld 13PC TIG Accessory Kit for Series 17 Torch – Thoriated

Welders choose the PowerWeld PWAK-2-TH when they want a DC-focused TIG kit that pairs 2% thoriated tungsten with the right 17 series torch hardware. The EWTh-2 electrodes give a tight, stable arc on DC, which many technicians prefer for carbon steel, stainless, and nickel alloy work. With the matching collets and collet bodies already included, there is no guesswork about which small parts fit each tungsten size.

For shops and service crews that rely heavily on DC TIG, this kit keeps consumables organized and ready. A single PWAK-2-TH on each torch cart or job truck means fewer delays waiting on replacement cups or collets and less time trying to match part numbers. In training environments, students can learn DC TIG using the same 2% thoriated tungsten and 17 series components they are likely to see in the field. When dependable DC TIG performance and simple stocking are priorities, the PowerWeld PWAK-2-TH kit is a straightforward solution.
