OVERVIEW

Genuine Weldcraft 17GLG20 Stubby Gas Lens Insulator

Optimize your TIG welding setup with the Weldcraft 17GLG20 Stubby Gas Lens Insulator. This essential consumable is designed specifically for welders utilizing a stubby gas lens configuration on their 17, 18, or 26 series TIG torches. By converting a standard torch head to a stubby setup, you significantly reduce the overall length of the torch front end, granting you superior access to confined spaces and tight corners that standard setups simply cannot reach. This insulator is the critical component that sits between the torch body and the gas lens collet body, ensuring proper seating and sealing.

Manufactured by Weldcraft (a Miller Electric brand), this insulator is built to withstand the high thermal stresses associated with TIG welding. It provides the necessary electrical isolation to prevent arc wandering or shorting against the nozzle, while also creating a tight seal to direct shielding gas flow through the lens mesh. Poor quality insulators can crack under heat or fail to seal properly, leading to turbulence in your shielding gas and potential weld contamination. With genuine Weldcraft parts, you are assured of material quality and dimensional accuracy.

The 17GLG20 is compatible with a wide range of torches, including the Weldcraft A-150 (formerly WP-17), A-200 (formerly WP-26), and W-350 (formerly WP-18), as well as most equivalent torches from other major brands. Whether you are fabricating roll cages, working on precision automotive exhaust systems, or performing general maintenance in hard-to-reach areas, the stubby gas lens system is a game-changer. This package contains two (2) insulators, ensuring you have a spare on hand when you need it most. Keep your torch performing at its peak with reliable consumables from Josef Gas.

FAQ

It fits 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches (also known as A-150, W-350, and A-200) when equipped with a stubby gas lens setup.

No, this insulator is specifically designed for use with stubby gas lens collet bodies. Standard collet bodies require a different insulator (usually 18CG).

This product is sold as a package of 2 insulators.

A stubby gas lens setup shortens the overall length of your torch head, allowing for better access into tight spaces and improved torch control.

Yes, this is a genuine Weldcraft (Miller Electric) product, ensuring high quality and perfect compatibility.

It is made from a high-temperature resistant composite material designed to withstand the heat of TIG welding without melting or arcing.

Yes, this replaces the standard white insulator ring when you are converting your torch to use stubby gas lens consumables.

No, WP-9 and WP-20 torches are smaller and use different consumables. This is strictly for the larger 17/18/26 frame torches.
