KP2414-1 - Lincoln Electric Gas Lens Parts Kit for PTA-9 and PTW-20 Torches

Precision Gas Lens Performance for PTA-9 and PTW-20

Optimize your TIG welding performance with the Lincoln Electric KP2414-1 Gas Lens Torch Parts Kit. This comprehensive set is engineered to upgrade standard collet body setups to superior gas lens configurations for Lincoln PTA-9, PTW-20, and 20H-320 torches. Gas lenses are a critical upgrade for serious TIG welders; they replace the standard turbulence of a conventional collet body with a multi-layer screen that creates a laminar gas flow. This laminar flow provides a more coherent column of shielding gas, which significantly improves coverage of the weld pool and allows the tungsten electrode to be extended further (stick-out) for better visibility in tight corners and fillet welds.

The KP2414-1 kit is meticulously stocked with high-quality consumables in three essential diameter sizes: .040" (1.0mm), 1/16" (1.6mm), and 3/32" (2.4mm). For each size, the kit provides a matched set of a collet, a gas lens collet body, and a 2% Ceriated tungsten electrode. Ceriated tungsten (grey) is a non-radioactive alternative to thoriated tungsten, offering excellent arc starting at low amperages and maintaining a sharp point, making it ideal for both DC and AC welding applications. The kit also includes three alumina nozzles with 5/16", 3/8", and 7/16" orifices to match the gas lenses, along with a long back cap to complete the assembly.

Using genuine Lincoln Electric consumables ensures that your torch maintains its duty cycle ratings—up to 320A depending on the torch model—and resists heat buildup effectively. The components are manufactured to tight tolerances to prevent gas leakage and ensure stable arc performance. Whether you are welding stainless steel, carbon steel, or exotic alloys, the improved gas coverage provided by this gas lens kit will help reduce oxidation and porosity, leading to cleaner, stronger, and more aesthetically pleasing welds.
