13N23L - Miller Weldcraft 13N23L 3/32 Inch Gas Lens Collet 2-Pack

Upgrade Your TIG Precision with Weldcraft 13N23L

For welders seeking better visibility and superior gas coverage, the switch to a gas lens setup is one of the most effective upgrades you can make to your TIG torch. The Weldcraft 13N23L Gas Lens Collet is the heart of this upgrade for those running 3/32" (2.4mm) tungsten. Whether you are welding stainless steel exhaust manifolds or delicate aluminum intake piping, this collet helps you achieve that stack-of-dimes look with greater ease.

Why Choose a Gas Lens Collet?

Standard collets create a turbulent burst of gas that can pull atmospheric oxygen into your weld pool if you pull the torch too far away. The 13N23L, when used with a gas lens body, changes the game completely. It helps structure the gas flow into a coherent, laminar column. This means you can stick your tungsten out much further—sometimes two to three times the diameter of the cup—and still get perfect coverage. This extra reach allows you to see exactly where the arc is striking in tight V-grooves or inside corners, reducing the guesswork and neck strain associated with obstructed views.

Genuine Weldcraft Quality

When you are in the middle of a critical weld, the last thing you want is a collet that twists, overheats, or fails to grip the tungsten. Weldcraft parts are the industry standard for a reason. Made from high-grade copper alloys, the 13N23L resists thermal deformation better than generic alternatives. It provides a positive grip on your 3/32" electrode, ensuring stable arc starting and consistent current transfer. Poor contact can lead to arcing inside the torch head, which can ruin expensive torch bodies; using genuine Weldcraft consumables protects your equipment investment.

Application and Setup

This 2-pack of collets is designed for the popular "small" series torches—the air-cooled 9 series and the water-cooled 20 and 25 series. To install, simply remove your standard collet body and collet, insert the 13N23L into a compatible gas lens body (like the 45V44), and tighten your back cap. It is a simple swap that delivers immediate improvements in weld cleanliness and puddle control. Keep a pack in your toolbox so you are never caught without a spare during a long day of fabrication.
