17GL116 - Weldcraft 17GL116 Stubby Gas Lens 1/16" (2-Pack)

Get Into Tight Spots with the Weldcraft Stubby Gas Lens

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of trying to jam a bulky number 17 or 26 torch into a tight corner or a narrow pipe gap. The standard head is just too long, and the cups are too wide. That is exactly where the Weldcraft 17GL116 Stubby Gas Lens saves the day. By swapping out your standard collet body for this stubby version, you effectively shrink the front end of your heavy-duty torch down to the size of a nimble number 9 or 20 torch. This gives you the best of both worlds: the high amperage capacity of your larger torch and the maneuverability of a micro-torch.

But it's not just about size—it's about weld quality. This gas lens features a precision mesh screen that smooths out your argon flow. Instead of the gas tumbling out in a turbulent mess, it flows in a straight, calm stream (laminar flow). This means you get cleaner welds with less chance of porosity or oxidation. It also lets you stick your tungsten out much further than usual, giving you a clear line of sight to your puddle without losing gas coverage. Whether you are welding roll cages, manifolds, or precision stainless parts, seeing what you are doing is half the battle.

This pack comes with two 1/16-inch (1.6mm) gas lenses, so you have a backup ready to go. Remember, to run this setup, you will need the matching stubby collets and the correct insulator gasket. Upgrade your rig today and stop fighting your torch in tight spaces.
