17GL040 - Weldcraft 17GL040 Stubby Gas Lens Kit for 17/18/26 Torches

Get Into Tight Spots with Better Gas Coverage

Upgrade your TIG torch with the Miller Weldcraft 17GL040 Stubby Gas Lens and experience the difference a smaller torch profile can make. If you are welding with a standard WP-17, WP-18, or WP-26 torch, you know they can sometimes feel bulky and hard to maneuver in tight corners. This "stubby" gas lens shrinks the front end of your torch, making it feel more like a compact WP-9 or WP-20, giving you the control you need for intricate work.

Beyond just size, the gas lens technology is a game-changer for weld quality. Unlike standard collet bodies that just dump gas out, this lens uses a fine mesh screen to smooth out the gas flow. This means you get a calm, steady stream of argon protecting your puddle. The result? You can stick your tungsten out much further—sometimes an inch or more—to see exactly what you are doing without sucking in air and ruining the weld. It's perfect for reaching into deep corners or welding inside pipes.

This pack comes with two 0.040" (1.0mm) gas lenses, so you have a backup ready to go. Whether you are working on stainless steel exhaust manifolds, aluminum intake pipes, or precision roll cages, switching to a stubby gas lens setup is one of the best upgrades you can make for your rig. Just remember to grab the matching stubby collets and cup insulators to complete the conversion!
