Medium back cap WP-9, WP-20, WP-26: balance between control and reach
When a long back cap gets in the way and the short one isn’t enough, I go for the medium back cap WP-9, WP-20, WP-26. It gives me that perfect middle ground for precision TIG work.
Why use a medium cap?
This component mounts on the rear of the torch and offers:
- A great balance between clearance and tungsten stability.
- More control than a long cap in mid-range spaces.
- Proper sealing to maintain gas shielding throughout the weld.
Practical compatibility
It fits perfectly on standard WP-9, WP-20 and WP-26 TIG torches. It installs easily without tools, ideal for medium-length tungsten and welding spots that require maneuverability and control.
Use in motorsport fabrication
The medium back cap WP-9, WP-20, WP-26 comes in handy when welding brackets, tubes, and supports on race car builds. It's the go-to choice when tight tolerances rule out both extremes.
