18GL16 - Weldcraft 18GL16 1/16" Gas Lens Collet Body for WP-18SC Torches (2-Pack)

See the Puddle Clearly with Weldcraft Gas Lenses

If you are struggling to see your weld puddle because your cup is in the way, or if you are fighting porosity when you try to reach into a tight corner, the Weldcraft 18GL16 Gas Lens Collet Body is the solution you need. Designed specifically for the heavy-duty WP-18SC (W400) TIG torches, this accessory upgrades your standard torch setup to a gas lens system. Unlike standard collet bodies that just dump gas out of the nozzle, this gas lens uses a fine mesh screen to smooth out the gas flow, creating a calm, straight stream of argon that protects your weld much more effectively.

The biggest perk for the welder on the bench is the "stick-out." Because the gas flow is so stable, you can push your 1/16" tungsten out much further—often up to an inch depending on the cup size—and still get perfect coverage. This means you can back the nozzle away from the work, giving you a wide-open view of the arc and the puddle. No more guessing if you are tying into the root properly; with the 18GL16, you can see exactly what is happening. This is a game-changer for intricate work or when welding inside pipes and manifolds.

These collet bodies come in a convenient 2-pack, so you always have a backup in your toolbox. They are genuine Weldcraft parts, meaning they are built to last and fit your Miller or Weldcraft torch perfectly without any fiddling. They handle the heat of high-amperage welding and ensure your current transfer to the tungsten is smooth and consistent. Stop fighting turbulence and start welding smoother with the 18GL16.

Key Benefits for the Welder

• Better Visibility: Extend your tungsten to see around corners and into joints.
• Gas Savings: Efficient laminar flow often allows for slightly lower gas flow rates.
• Cleaner Welds: Reduces turbulence that sucks in air, preventing porosity and black welds.
• Perfect Fit: Made specifically for 1/16" tungsten on WP-18SC/W400 torches.
