45V64 - Weldcraft Large Diameter Gas Lens 3/32 Inch (2.4mm) for 17/18/26 Series

Optimize Your TIG Welding Precision

The Weldcraft Large Diameter Gas Lens (3/32" / 2.4mm) is an essential upgrade for professional fabricators seeking superior control and weld quality. Designed to replace standard collet bodies in 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, this component fundamentally changes how shielding gas is delivered to your workpiece. By utilizing a multi-layer screen mesh, the gas lens filters the argon flow, organizing it into a coherent, laminar stream rather than a turbulent cloud.

For the welder, this translates to immediate practical benefits. The stable column of gas provides robust coverage even when the tungsten electrode is extended significantly beyond the cup. This "stick-out" capability is a game-changer for welding inside corners, pipe interiors, or complex geometries where the gas cup would otherwise obstruct your view. With the Weldcraft 45V64, you can see the puddle clearly and manipulate the arc with confidence, knowing your shielding gas is protecting the molten pool from atmospheric contamination.

Manufactured to Miller's exacting standards, this genuine Weldcraft part ensures a perfect thread fit and optimal electrical conductivity. Whether you are working on stainless steel exhaust systems, aluminum fabrication, or precision chromoly tubing, the consistency provided by a large diameter gas lens helps reduce oxidation and post-weld cleanup. It is a small investment that yields professional-grade results.

Key Benefits for the Shop

• Enhanced Visibility: Allows for longer tungsten extension to see into tight joints.
• Better Shielding: Reduces porosity and oxidation by minimizing gas turbulence.
• Gas Efficiency: Laminar flow often allows for slightly lower gas flow rates while maintaining coverage.
• Versatility: Fits the most common air-cooled and water-cooled torches in the industry.
