AK3GL - Miller Weldcraft AK3GL Gas Lens Kit for 17/18/26 Series Torches

Upgrade Your TIG Performance with the AK3GL Gas Lens Kit

Take the hassle out of gathering individual TIG torch parts with the Weldcraft AK3GL Gas Lens Accessory Kit. Designed for welders who demand precision and consistency, this kit upgrades your standard 17, 18, or 26 series torch with high-performance gas lenses. If you have ever struggled with porosity caused by drafts or poor gas coverage, switching to a gas lens system is one of the most effective upgrades you can make. The gas lens creates a coherent, laminar stream of shielding gas that protects the molten puddle far better than standard collet bodies, even when you need to extend your tungsten to reach into deep corners or fillets.

The AK3GL kit is packed with everything you need to get started immediately. It covers the three most popular tungsten sizes—1/16", 3/32", and 1/8"—so you are ready for everything from thin sheet metal to heavier structural plate. You get the gas lenses, the matching collets, and a variety of alumina cups (#6, #7, and #8) to fine-tune your gas coverage. The kit also includes a short back cap, which is a lifesaver when you are wedged into a tight spot, like a roll cage or under a vehicle chassis.

Also included are three pieces of premium Ceriated tungsten. Known for its easy arc starts and stability, Ceriated tungsten works beautifully on both steel and stainless steel, and can handle AC welding for aluminum in many inverter-based machines. By using this kit, you not only improve your weld quality but also potentially lower your operating costs; the efficient gas coverage often allows for lower flow rates on your regulator. Whether you are a professional pipe welder or a serious hobbyist, the AK3GL kit ensures you have the right genuine Weldcraft parts on hand to lay down perfect beads every time.
