If you are running a CK Worldwide Gas Saver kit on your TIG torch, you know the difference it makes. That smooth, laminar gas flow lets you stick your tungsten out further and get into tight corners without losing coverage. But to run that setup, you need the right front-end parts. The CK 2HSGSLD is the specific heat shield you need when you are using the Large Diameter Gas Saver system on a 2 Series torch. Whether you are rocking a little air-cooled 9 torch in your garage or a water-cooled 20 torch at the shop, this is the piece that sits between your torch handle and the gas lens.
Why do you need this specific shield? Standard heat shields won't fit the Gas Saver collet bodies properly. This one is shaped to seal up tight against the large diameter lens, making sure you don't have any gas leaks that could suck in atmosphere and ruin your weld. Plus, it acts as the insulator. TIG welding generates a ton of heat, and without a good insulator, you risk cooking your torch head or, worse, having the high-frequency arc jump somewhere it shouldn't. These shields are made of tough, heat-resistant material that can take a beating, but they do eventually wear out or get cracked if you drop the torch.
This pack comes with two heat shields. It’s always a smart move to keep a spare in your toolbox. There is nothing worse than cracking an insulator in the middle of a job and having to shut down because you don't have a $5 part. These fit a huge range of torches—basically anything in the "2 Series" family. That includes the WP-9, WP-20, CK200, and even the flex-head versions. If you are upgrading to the Large Diameter Gas Saver to get that massive gas coverage for stainless or titanium work, make sure you have these shields to complete the setup.
