Ordered up a new wp17 and wp9 torch heads & handle for my stock Miller Diversion 165( love it thus far)).
Are the back caps the same thread (ie: interchangeable? (Once again reducing inventory and time)

TIA.

Unless it's changed recently, the WP9 takes Series 2 parts and the WP17 takes series 3/4 parts, so the back caps wont be interchangeable.

For anyone interested, CK will ship for free their many product catalogs and also a large poster showing a breakdown with part numbers of the water and air cooled torches, if you want the poster it's best to request 2, as it's a double sided poster, so if you want to hang it on the wall you'll be limited to just seeing one side, unless you have 2 posters.
