2HSGSLD - 2 Series Large Diameter Gas Saver Insulator 2-Pack

High-Performance Insulation for Precision TIG Applications

The CK Worldwide 2HSGSLD is a specialized heat shield (insulator) designed specifically for use with the Large Diameter Gas Saver front-end parts on 2 Series TIG torches. In the realm of precision welding, particularly when dealing with reactive metals like titanium or stainless steel, the integrity of the shielding gas envelope is paramount. The Gas Saver system utilizes a proprietary screen diffuser to create a laminar flow of inert gas, reducing turbulence and improving weld quality. This heat shield serves as the critical interface between the torch body and the Gas Saver collet body, ensuring a proper seal and electrical insulation.

Manufactured from high-temperature resistant polymers, the 2HSGSLD is engineered to withstand the intense radiant heat generated during high-amperage TIG welding cycles. It effectively isolates the electrically live components of the torch head from the nozzle and the operator, preventing potential short circuits or high-frequency leakage that could compromise the weld or damage equipment. This specific model is the "Large Diameter" variant, which is required when utilizing the larger Pyrex or alumina cups associated with the Large Diameter Gas Saver kits, offering a wider gas coverage area than standard setups.

Compatibility is broad within the 2 Series classification. This insulator fits air-cooled torches such as the CK9, CK100, CK130, and water-cooled models like the CK20, CK200, and CK230. It is also cross-compatible with equivalent industry-standard models from manufacturers like Weldcraft (WP-9, WP-20), Lincoln Electric, and WeldTec. Supplied in a package of two, this SKU ensures that maintenance personnel and fabricators have immediate access to replacement parts, minimizing downtime in production environments where consumable degradation is inevitable.
