54N01 - 54N01 Gas Lens Insulator for 17, 18, 26 Series TIG Torches

Optimize Your Torch for Gas Lens Performance

Upgrade your TIG welding experience with the ESAB 54N01 Gas Lens Insulator, the required gasket for running gas lens collet bodies on standard 17, 18, and 26 series torches. Gas lenses are favored by professionals for their ability to smooth out shielding gas flow, reducing turbulence and allowing for a longer tungsten stick-out. However, to use a gas lens, you must replace the standard insulator with this 54N01 model to accommodate the wider assembly.

This insulator acts as a thermal and electrical barrier, seating firmly against the torch body to prevent gas leaks and electrical shorts. Its robust construction resists cracking and heat damage, ensuring a long service life even in demanding industrial environments. It is compatible with a wide range of alumina cups and gas lens collet bodies, making it a versatile addition to your consumables inventory.

Designed for easy installation, the 54N01 simply slides onto the torch head before the collet body is screwed in. It fits seamlessly with torches from major manufacturers such as Weldcraft, Miller, Lincoln Electric, CK Worldwide, and ESAB. Whether you are performing intricate pipe welding or general fabrication, ensuring you have the correct insulator installed is the first step toward achieving the superior coverage and weld appearance that gas lenses provide.
