OVERVIEW

Upgrade Your 20 Series Torch with the Complete AK4GL Kit

Take the hassle out of buying individual TIG torch parts with the Weldcraft AK4GL Gas Lens Accessory Kit. If you are running a water-cooled 20 series, W-250, or W-280 TIG torch, this kit is the perfect "shop-in-a-box" solution to refresh your consumables or upgrade your setup to a gas lens configuration. Gas lenses are a favorite among experienced TIG welders because they smooth out the flow of shielding gas, replacing the turbulent "cloud" of gas from a standard nozzle with a straight, column-like stream. This means you get better coverage over your weld pool, less chance of contamination, and a much cleaner final bead appearance.

One of the biggest frustrations in TIG welding is not being able to see the puddle clearly, especially when working in tight corners. The gas lenses included in the AK4GL kit allow you to stick your tungsten out much further than standard parts allow, giving you the line of sight you need without sacrificing gas coverage. This kit comes fully loaded with everything you need to get started immediately. You won't need to hunt for matching collets or nozzles; Weldcraft has packed the correct sizes for 1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" setups right in the box. Whether you are welding thin stainless steel or heavier aluminum sections, you will have the right hardware on hand.

In addition to the hardware, the AK4GL kit includes three 7-inch Ceriated tungsten electrodes. Ceriated tungsten is a fantastic all-around performer, offering easy arc starts and a stable arc for both steel and aluminum applications. The kit also features a short back cap, which is a lifesaver when you need to maneuver your torch into cramped spaces where a long cap would get in the way. By purchasing the AK4GL kit, you ensure that all your front-end parts fit perfectly together, reducing setup time and helping you produce professional-quality welds with your water-cooled torch.

FAQ

The AK4GL kit is designed for 20 series, W-250, and W-280 water-cooled TIG torches.

Gas lenses create a laminar gas flow, which improves shielding coverage, reduces turbulence, and allows for greater tungsten stick-out for better visibility.

Yes, the kit includes three Ceriated tungsten electrodes in 1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" diameters.

Generally, no. This kit is designed for the 20 series water-cooled torches. Air-cooled torches like the 17 or 26 series typically require different consumable kits (like the AK3GL).

The kit covers three sizes: 1/16 inch, 3/32 inch, and 1/8 inch. It includes collets, gas lenses, and nozzles for each of these sizes.

The kit includes one short back cap (part number 41V33), which is ideal for welding in tight spaces.

Yes, because gas lenses provide more efficient, laminar coverage, welders can often lower their CFH (cubic feet per hour) settings without compromising the weld quality.

Yes, the kit includes Alumina (ceramic) gas lens nozzles in sizes #6, #7, and #8.
