OVERVIEW

Don't Let a Cracked Gasket Ruin Your Weld

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of chasing mystery porosity. You check your gas flow, you check your tungsten, you clean your material—but the bubbles remain. Often, the culprit is a small, overlooked part: the heatshield (or cup gasket). The CK 300HS is the high-quality replacement for the standard 18CG gasket found on almost all 17, 18, and 26 series torches. When these insulators get old, they become brittle and crack from the heat cycles, or they get crushed from overtightening the cup.

Once that seal is broken, your torch can suck in atmospheric air or leak argon before it ever reaches the weld pool. The CK 300HS is built tough to handle the heat and keep your gas system sealed tight. It acts as the vital barrier that insulates your electrically hot torch head from the nozzle, preventing arc-out and damage. Whether you are running a heavy-duty water-cooled rig or a standard air-cooled field torch, this insulator fits perfectly.

We sell these in a convenient 2-pack because we know that when one breaks, you need a backup immediately to keep working. Don't wait until your torch starts acting up; keep a couple of these CK Worldwide heatshields in your toolbox. They are compatible with all major brands of Series 3 torches, making them a universal fix for your daily welding needs.

FAQ

The CK 300HS fits all Series 3 torches, which includes the industry-standard 17, 18, and 26 series torches, as well as CK's CS300 and CS310 models.

Yes, 300HS is CK Worldwide's part number for the industry-standard 18CG heatshield/insulator.

This product is sold as a 2-pack, containing two individual heatshields.

It provides electrical insulation between the torch body and the gas cup, and creates a seal to prevent shielding gas leaks.

Replace it if you see visible cracks, chips, or signs of burning, or if you suspect gas leakage is causing porosity in your welds.

Generally, no. Standard gas lens setups for Series 3 torches usually require a different insulator (often part number 54N01). The 18CG/300HS is typically for standard collet body setups.

It is made from a durable, high-temperature resistant composite plastic designed to withstand TIG welding environments.

Yes, it fits the 18 Series water-cooled torches, as well as the 17 and 26 air-cooled models.
