How to Choose the Right Welding Torch Consumables

Choosing a consumable should begin with the torch and process rather than the appearance of the part.

Match the Torch Model

First identify the exact torch model or series.

For example:

  • MIG: 15AK, 24KD, 36KD, MB25, MB36, PANA or other specified platform

  • TIG: WP9, WP17, WP18 or WP26

  • Plasma: P80 or another specified plasma torch

Different torch families can use different dimensions, threads and front-end assemblies.


Match the Wire or Electrode Diameter

For MIG welding, the contact tip and liner must correspond to the welding-wire diameter and material.

For TIG welding, the collet must match the tungsten diameter.

For plasma cutting, the nozzle and electrode must correspond to the specified torch and current configuration.


Match the Welding Current and Process

Current affects the selection of many consumable components.

For MIG/MAG welding, consider:

  • Welding current

  • Wire diameter

  • Duty cycle

  • Shielding gas

  • Manual or automated welding

For plasma cutting, consider:

  • Cutting current

  • Torch type

  • Cutting or gouging process

  • Plasma gas

  • Manual or mechanized operation


Check the Connection and Thread

Before ordering a replacement component, verify:

  • Thread specification

  • Mounting method

  • Overall dimensions

  • Contact-tip holder
