Upgrade your TIG torch performance with the Weldcraft 45V116 Large Diameter Gas Lens, specifically designed for 1/16" (1.6mm) tungsten electrodes. This essential consumable is a favorite among professional fabricators for its ability to transform the shielding gas output into a smooth, laminar stream. By replacing the standard collet body with this gas lens, you virtually eliminate the turbulence that draws in atmospheric air, resulting in cleaner, stronger, and more aesthetically pleasing welds.
The 45V116 is built to fit the industry-standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches. Whether you are using an air-cooled WP-17 or a heavy-duty water-cooled WP-18, this gas lens improves your control over the weld puddle. The stable gas stream allows you to extend your tungsten electrode significantly further than with a standard nozzle setup. This "stick-out" capability is a game-changer for visibility, allowing you to see exactly where the arc is striking without craning your neck or compromising gas coverage. It is the perfect solution for precision work on stainless steel headers, aluminum intake manifolds, or any project where weld appearance and integrity are non-negotiable.
Supplied in a convenient pack of 2, these genuine Weldcraft parts deliver the durability and consistency expected from a Miller Electric brand. To use this large gas lens, ensure you have the appropriate large diameter alumina cups (57N series) and the correct insulator gasket for your torch body. Invest in the 45V116 to reduce post-weld cleanup and achieve that stack-of-dimes look with greater ease.
