45V33 - 1/16" Gas Lens Collet Body for 17/18/26 Series Torches

Superior Control and Visibility for 1/16" TIG Applications

Take your TIG welding performance to the next level with the 45V33 Gas Lens Collet Body. Designed for 1/16" (1.6mm) tungsten, this gas lens is a direct upgrade for standard 17, 18, and 26 series torches (including WP-17, WP-18, WP-26, and equivalent models). By replacing your standard collet body with this gas lens, you gain the ability to weld with greater precision and less hassle.

The core feature of the 45V33 is its integrated mesh diffuser, which smooths out the shielding gas flow. This laminar flow eliminates the turbulence often caused by standard nozzles, ensuring a stable shield around the molten puddle even at lower gas flow rates. This efficiency not only saves on argon costs over time but also reduces the risk of porosity and oxidation colors on your finished welds.

One of the biggest practical benefits for welders is the ability to extend the tungsten further past the cup. With a standard setup, extending the tungsten too far results in lost shielding and contaminated welds. With the 45V33 gas lens, you can safely extend the electrode to reach into fillets and corners while maintaining a crisp, clean arc. Robustly built to withstand the heat of industrial welding, this collet body is a must-have for any serious TIG welder's kit.
