Upgrade your TIG setup with the Parker 3/32" (2.4mm) Gas Lens Collet Body (45V44). If you are still using standard collet bodies, you are missing out on one of the easiest ways to improve your weld quality instantly. A gas lens replaces your standard body and uses a fine mesh screen to smooth out your shielding gas flow. Instead of the gas coming out in a turbulent cloud, it comes out in a straight, smooth column—kind of like the difference between a garden hose on "mist" versus a focused stream.
Why does this matter? Smoother gas flow means better coverage of your weld puddle, which leads to cleaner, shinier welds with less oxidation. It also allows you to stick your tungsten out much further—sometimes up to an inch or more—while still keeping the puddle protected. This is a game-changer when you need to see around a corner or reach into a tight fillet weld. Plus, because the coverage is more efficient, many welders find they can slightly lower their CFH settings, saving money on argon over time.
This Parker 45V44 fits directly onto small torches like the WP-9 and WP-20. It is also the exact part used in "Stubby Gas Lens Kits" for the larger WP-17 and WP-26 torches, allowing you to shrink the head of your big torch down to a more manageable size. Whether you are welding stainless steel exhaust headers or precision aluminum parts, this gas lens is a must-have in your consumables kit.
