KP2032-2B1 - Lincoln Electric .040 Gas Lens Collet Body for 9/20 Series Torches

Precision TIG Welding with Lincoln Electric

The Lincoln Electric KP2032-2B1 is a high-performance Gas Lens Collet Body designed specifically for TIG welding applications requiring precision and superior shielding gas coverage. Sized for .040-inch (1.0 mm) tungsten electrodes, this component is an essential upgrade for welders looking to improve the quality and consistency of their welds. Unlike standard collet bodies, a gas lens utilizes a multi-layer mesh screen to organize the flow of shielding gas into a laminar column. This reduction in turbulence ensures that the weld pool is protected more effectively from atmospheric contamination, which is critical when working with sensitive materials like stainless steel, titanium, and aluminum.

One of the primary advantages of using the KP2032-2B1 gas lens system is the ability to extend the tungsten electrode further out from the ceramic cup without losing gas coverage. This feature is particularly beneficial for welders working in tight corners, complex joints, or obstructed areas where visibility is limited. By allowing for a longer stick-out, the operator gains a better line of sight to the arc and puddle, resulting in more precise control and fewer defects. The gas lens also helps to cool the tungsten more efficiently, potentially extending the life of your electrode and reducing the frequency of regrinding.

Manufactured to Lincoln Electric's rigorous standards, this collet body is built from durable copper and brass alloys to ensure excellent electrical conductivity and heat resistance. It is designed to fit a wide range of air-cooled and water-cooled torches, including the popular PTA-9, PTA-20, and PTW-20 series, as well as industry-standard WP-9 and WP-20 models. Whether you are performing intricate aerospace fabrication, automotive repair, or general maintenance, upgrading to a gas lens collet body is a simple yet effective way to enhance your TIG welding setup.
