OVERVIEW

CK Worldwide D4GS418LD Large Diameter Gas Saver Kit

The CK Worldwide D4GS418LD is a premium Gas Saver Kit designed for 4 Series TIG torches, specifically engineered to accommodate 1/8" (3.2mm) tungsten electrodes. This kit represents a significant upgrade over standard collet bodies, offering a sophisticated gas diffusion system that streamlines shielding gas flow. By creating a laminar flow pattern, the Gas Saver kit can reduce shield gas consumption by up to 40%, making it a cost-effective solution for high-volume welding operations.

One of the standout features of this kit is the Large Diameter Glass Cup. Unlike opaque ceramic nozzles, the high-temperature glass construction provides complete visibility of the weld puddle and the tungsten tip. This is particularly advantageous when welding in tight spaces or at odd angles where line-of-sight is typically obstructed. The kit includes all necessary components to convert a standard 4 Series torch (such as models 17, 18, 26, and their equivalents) to this high-performance system.

The D4GS418LD is specifically recommended for applications involving reactive metals. The large diffusion screen ensures a broad, even blanket of inert gas, which is critical when welding titanium tubing or other sensitive alloys. This superior coverage allows welders to operate at low amps on titanium without the need for a cumbersome trailing shield, simplifying the setup process while maintaining weld quality.

FAQ

This kit is designed for 4 Series torches, which includes popular models like the 17, 18, 26, 150, 210, 300, 510, and equivalent torches from other manufacturers.

This specific kit (D4GS418LD) is configured for 1/8" (3.2mm) tungsten electrodes.

The CK Gas Saver kit can save up to 40% of shield gas consumption compared to standard collet body setups due to its efficient diffusion screen.

The cup is made of high-temperature glass (Pyrex style). While it withstands high heat, it is glass and can break if dropped or impacted. It is replaceable (Part # CK4P18GSLD).

It is generally not recommended to 'walk the cup' on glass nozzles as the friction and texture of the base metal can damage the glass or cause it to break. It is best used for freehand welding.

The large diameter diffusion screen provides a very wide and stable gas shield, which is essential for preventing atmospheric contamination when welding reactive metals like titanium.

Yes, this kit replaces your standard collet body, collet, and cup with the Gas Saver system components (collet body, tungsten adapter, screen, and glass cup).

With the improved laminar flow provided by the Gas Saver, you can extend the tungsten up to 6 times the electrode diameter beyond the cup edge.
