995795S - Weldcraft 995795S Large Stubby Gas Lens 1/8" (3.2mm) - 2 Pack

Precision Shielding for Demanding TIG Applications

The Weldcraft 995795S Large Stubby Gas Lens is a critical component for professional TIG welders seeking to optimize shielding gas performance and weld quality. Designed specifically for 1/8-inch (3.2mm) tungsten electrodes, this gas lens fits a wide range of popular TIG torches, including the 9, 20, and 25 series (also known by model numbers A-125, W-200, W-225, W-250, W-280, and W-375). By replacing standard collet bodies with this advanced gas lens, operators can significantly alter the fluid dynamics of their shielding gas.

Laminar Flow Technology

Standard collet bodies often allow shielding gas to exit the nozzle in a turbulent state, which can draw in atmospheric contaminants like oxygen and nitrogen, leading to porosity or oxidation in the weld pool. The 995795S utilizes a multi-layer fine mesh screen system that acts as a flow straightener. This creates a laminar flow of gas—a coherent, columnar stream that provides a robust envelope of protection around the molten puddle. This is particularly advantageous when welding sensitive alloys such as stainless steel, titanium, or aluminum, where even minor atmospheric contamination can compromise structural integrity and aesthetic finish.

Enhanced Accessibility and Efficiency

One of the standout features of this "stubby" configuration is its compact profile. While it offers the broad coverage of a large diameter lens, it does so without adding excessive length to the torch head. This allows welders to access confined joints and tight angles that would otherwise be unreachable with standard large lens setups. Furthermore, the improved gas column stability allows for a greater tungsten stick-out (extension), giving the welder better visibility of the arc and puddle without risking porosity. This 2-pack ensures you have a backup on hand, minimizing downtime in high-production environments.

Compatibility and Durability

Manufactured to Weldcraft's rigorous standards, these gas lenses are engineered for thermal durability and precise fitment. They are compatible with standard 9/20 series insulators and collets, making them an easy upgrade for existing torch setups. Whether used in aerospace, motorsports fabrication, or industrial pipe welding, the 995795S delivers the consistency required for code-quality welds.
