WTAT is out of ally#5 pyrex cup for 17 torch, so I had to order from amazon.
This is what I received, twice. It appears to be an ally#5 for a #9 torch. The white insulator will not fit on my CK17 and it comes with a wedge collet which i think only ships with the ally for the 9 torch. Can someone please verify this is not an ally#5 for a 17 torch.

The #5 can also use a wedge collet, but that does not look like a Furick cup. Similar, but not the same.

It seems like every ad I have seen says the #5 for the 9torch uses the wedge, and slit for the 17–even on the furick site.

This set right.
