OVERVIEW

Get Into Tight Spots Without Losing Coverage

Every TIG welder knows the struggle: you need to get into a tight corner, but your standard torch setup is too long, or you switch to a small cup and lose your gas coverage. The Weldcraft 45V0204S Large Stubby Gas Lens is the solution you've been looking for. This handy 2-pack gives you the best of both worlds—the superior gas coverage of a large diameter lens and the compact, maneuverable profile of a stubby setup. It's designed specifically for fine work using 0.020" to 0.040" tungsten, making it perfect for delicate automotive parts, thin sheet metal, or intricate artistic welds.

Why switch to a gas lens? It's all about the flow. Standard collet bodies let gas rush out in a turbulent cloud, which can pull in atmospheric air and contaminate your weld. This gas lens uses a fine mesh screen to smooth that gas out into a steady, laminar column. This means you get cleaner, shinier welds with less post-weld cleaning. Plus, because the gas stream is so stable, you can stick your tungsten out further to see exactly what you're doing without worrying about porosity.

These lenses are built tough by Weldcraft (a Miller brand), so you know they fit right and last long. They fit your standard 17, 18, or 26 series torches (with the right insulators and cups), instantly upgrading your rig. Whether you are welding stainless exhaust headers or repairing delicate aluminum fins, these gas lenses help you lay down stack-of-dimes beads even in the most awkward positions. Keep this 2-pack in your toolbox so you're always ready for the precision work.

FAQ

This gas lens is designed for tungsten electrodes with diameters of 0.020" (0.5mm) and 0.040" (1.0mm).

It is compatible with 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches (WP-17, WP-18, WP-26) when used with the appropriate large diameter stubby setup components.

This product is sold as a package of 2 gas lenses.

A gas lens creates a laminar gas flow, providing better shielding coverage, reducing turbulence, and allowing for a longer tungsten stick-out.

Yes, this is a Large Diameter Gas Lens, so it requires Large Diameter Alumina or Pyrex cups (nozzles) rather than standard size cups.

Yes, this is a genuine Weldcraft product, which is a brand of Miller Electric.

Stubby means the component is shorter than the standard version, reducing the overall length of the torch head for better maneuverability in tight spaces.

No, this specific part number (45V0204S) is sized for .020"-.040". You would need a different part number (likely 45V116S) for 1/16" tungsten.
