For professional welders relying on the WP-22 TIG torch, the Weldcraft 22N22AL 1/16" Large Gas Lens Collet is an indispensable upgrade for achieving cleaner, higher-quality welds. If you are looking to improve your shielding gas coverage and reduce post-weld cleanup, switching to a gas lens system is one of the most effective steps you can take. This collet is the key that unlocks that potential for your 1/16-inch tungsten electrodes. By pairing this collet with an extra-large gas lens collet body, you transform the turbulent gas stream of a standard nozzle into a smooth, laminar column of protection.
Why does this matter? Laminar flow allows you to extend your tungsten electrode further out from the cup—sometimes up to an inch or more—without losing shielding gas protection. This visibility is a game-changer when you are welding inside corners, pipe interiors, or intricate manifolds where a standard cup would block your view. The 22N22AL is built tough to handle the heat. Made from durable copper alloy, it resists deformation and twisting, ensuring your tungsten stays centered and secure even during long welding sessions. A loose tungsten can cause arc instability and frustration; Weldcraft's precision manufacturing eliminates that worry.
This pack contains two collets, giving you excellent value and peace of mind. Keeping fresh consumables in your kit is the hallmark of a prepared welder. Worn collets can twist, arc out, or fail to transfer current smoothly, leading to inconsistent starts and wandering arcs. By sticking with genuine Weldcraft parts, you ensure that your Miller or Weldcraft WP-22 torch performs exactly as it was designed to. Whether you are welding stainless steel exhaust systems or aluminum structures, these collets provide the reliability you need to lay down perfect beads every time.
