D3GS332-P - CK Worldwide 3 Series Gas Saver Kit 3/32" with Pyrex Cup

Maximize Efficiency with the CK Worldwide 3 Series Gas Saver Kit

The CK Worldwide D3GS332-P Gas Saver Kit is a premium front-end consumable upgrade designed for 3 Series TIG torches, including the popular 17, 18, and 26 models. This kit is engineered to solve two common challenges in TIG welding: excessive shielding gas consumption and poor visibility of the weld puddle. By replacing your standard collet body and ceramic cup with this advanced system, you can achieve a more stable arc, cleaner welds, and significant operational savings.

Superior Gas Coverage and Savings

At the heart of the Gas Saver kit is a specialized collet body equipped with a mesh screen diffuser. Unlike standard collet bodies that can create turbulent gas flow, this diffuser smooths the argon into a laminar column. This uniform flow pattern provides a much more effective shield around the molten puddle, preventing atmospheric contamination even at lower flow rates. Users typically report saving up to 40% on shield gas consumption, which translates to substantial cost reductions over time, especially for high-volume fabrication shops.

Unmatched Visibility and Reach

The kit includes a high-temperature Pyrex glass cup (CK3P8GS) that replaces the traditional opaque ceramic nozzle. This clear cup allows the welder to see the tungsten tip and the weld puddle from virtually any angle, eliminating the blind spots often caused by standard nozzles. This feature is invaluable when welding in tight spaces or when precision is paramount. Furthermore, the superior gas coverage allows for a tungsten stick-out of up to 6 times the electrode diameter, giving you the reach needed for deep fillets and complex geometries without compromising the gas shield.

Compatibility and Maintenance

Designed for versatility, the D3GS332-P fits most standard silicone rubber insulated torch bodies in the 3 Series family. The kit is a complete solution, including a heat shield, 3/32" collet, collet body, tungsten adapter, and the glass cup. Maintenance is economical; the screen adapters and glass cups are replaceable individually, making this system cheaper to maintain than many standard gas lens setups.
