OVERVIEW

Genuine Weldcraft 45V25 TIG Gas Lens (1/16")

Upgrade your TIG torch performance with the Weldcraft 45V25 Gas Lens, available in a convenient 2-pack. If you are tired of struggling with poor visibility or inconsistent gas coverage when using standard collet bodies, this is the solution you need. Designed for use with 1/16-inch (1.6mm) tungsten, this gas lens fits all standard 17, 18, and 26 series torches (including WP-17, WP-18, WP-26, and their A/W equivalents). It is one of the most effective and affordable upgrades you can make to your welding setup.

The magic of the 45V25 lies in its internal mesh screen system. Standard collet bodies simply dump gas out of the nozzle, creating turbulence that can pull in outside air and contaminate your weld. The Weldcraft gas lens smooths out that flow into a calm, laminar stream. This means you get a "stiffer" column of gas that protects your weld pool even if there is a slight draft in the shop. More importantly, it allows you to stick your tungsten out much further—sometimes up to an inch—without losing coverage. This is a game-changer for welding inside corners, roll cages, or manifolds where a standard cup just gets in the way.

Using genuine Weldcraft parts means you aren't dealing with cheap knock-offs that have inconsistent threading or poor conductivity. These gas lenses are built to last and provide consistent electrical contact and heat transfer. Whether you are welding stainless steel exhaust systems, aluminum intake pipes, or mild steel brackets, the 45V25 helps you lay down "dimes" with better color and less soot. Stop fighting your equipment and start seeing the puddle clearly with the superior coverage of a gas lens.

Why Welders Choose the 45V25:

  • Better Visibility: See around the nozzle by extending your tungsten.
  • Cleaner Welds: Less turbulence means less contamination and porosity.
  • Gas Savings: Efficient coverage often allows for slightly lower CFH settings.
  • Versatility: Works with a wide range of alumina and ceramic cups.

FAQ

The 45V25 is compatible with 3-Series torches, which includes the WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 models, as well as their equivalent A-150, W-350, and A-200 torches.

This specific gas lens (45V25) is designed for use with 1/16-inch (1.6mm) diameter tungsten electrodes.

Yes, standard nozzles (cups) for collet bodies will not fit. You will need gas lens compatible nozzles, typically the 54N series (e.g., 54N14, 54N15).

Yes, when converting from a standard collet body to a gas lens on 17/18/26 torches, you typically need the 54N01 insulator.

This package contains two (2) Weldcraft 45V25 gas lenses.

A gas lens creates a laminar gas flow, reducing turbulence. This improves shielding coverage and allows for greater tungsten stick-out for better visibility.

Yes, the 45V25 is suitable for both AC (aluminum) and DC (steel/stainless) TIG welding processes.

Yes, this is a genuine Weldcraft (Miller Electric) product, ensuring high quality and precise fitment.
