OVERVIEW

See the Weld Better, Reach Further

If you are struggling to see your puddle or fighting to get your torch into a tight roll cage joint, the Weldcraft 45V116S Large Stubby Gas Lens is the upgrade you need. Standard collet bodies often create turbulent gas flow that swirls around the arc, forcing you to keep your nozzle close to the work. This gas lens changes the game by using a multi-layer mesh screen to smooth out that gas flow into a straight, laminar column. What does that mean for you? It means you can stick your tungsten out way further—sometimes an inch or more—and still get perfect coverage. That extra stick-out lets you look past the cup and see exactly what your arc is doing, which is critical for precision root passes and intricate detail work.

Compact Design for Tight Spots

The "stubby" design of the 45V116S effectively shrinks your torch. By reducing the overall length of the front end of your 9 or 20 series torch, you gain better maneuverability in restricted spaces. Whether you are welding inside a manifold, working on an exhaust system, or just trying to get a comfortable angle on a bench job, the smaller profile helps you get the torch where it needs to be without the back cap or nozzle bumping into obstructions. Despite its compact size, this is a "Large Diameter" lens, meaning it still provides a broad, generous blanket of Argon coverage to keep your weld bright and shiny.

Reliability in a 2-Pack

Sold as a convenient pack of two, these gas lenses are genuine Weldcraft components, meaning they are built to last and handle the heat. They are designed specifically for 1/16-inch (1.6mm) tungsten, a common size for thin-to-medium gauge materials. Using a gas lens also helps reduce post-weld cleanup because the improved shielding minimizes oxidation and discoloration. If you want smoother welds, less rework, and the freedom to weld in tighter spots, swapping your standard setup for these stubby gas lenses is one of the most effective changes you can make to your rig.

FAQ

It is compatible with 9, 20, 9P, 9V, 20P, 22, and 25 series TIG torches.

This gas lens is designed specifically for 1/16-inch (1.6mm) tungsten electrodes.

A gas lens creates laminar gas flow, which reduces turbulence, improves shielding coverage, and allows you to extend the tungsten further for better visibility.

This product comes in a package of 2.

Yes, because it is a large diameter stubby lens, it typically requires specific large-diameter alumina cups designed for stubby gas lenses.

The stubby design reduces the overall length of the torch head, making it easier to access tight spaces and confined joints.

Yes, this is a genuine Weldcraft (Miller) replacement part.

Yes, the large diameter lens provides excellent gas coverage which is beneficial when walking the cup, provided you have the correct size cup installed.
