OVERVIEW

Product Overview

The Weldcraft 45V64S Large Diameter Stubby Gas Lens is a precision-engineered TIG welding consumable designed to optimize shielding gas distribution for 3/32-inch (2.4mm) tungsten electrodes. Manufactured by Miller Weldcraft, this component is an essential upgrade for fabricators requiring superior gas coverage and improved access to confined joints. It is specifically compatible with the 9, 20, 25, 9V, 9P, 20P, and 22 series TIG torches (often referred to as the 2-Series in specific nomenclatures).

Unlike standard collet bodies, this gas lens utilizes a multi-layered fine mesh screen to transform the shielding gas from a turbulent flow into a coherent, laminar stream. This laminar flow is critical when welding reactive metals such as stainless steel, titanium, or aluminum, where atmospheric contamination can compromise weld integrity. The "Large Diameter" designation indicates a wider nozzle opening capability, ensuring a broader envelope of inert gas protects the weld pool and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) during the cooling phase.

Technical Specifications & Compatibility

The 45V64S is unique in its "Stubby" configuration. While it provides the gas coverage of a large lens, it is designed to work with stubby collets and specific insulators to shorten the overall length of the torch head. This reduction in size improves the welder's ability to manipulate the torch in tight corners or complex geometries.

  • Part Number: 45V64S
  • Electrode Size: 3/32" (2.4mm)
  • Torch Compatibility: Air-cooled (9 series) and Water-cooled (20, 25 series)
  • Function: Gas turbulence reduction and coverage expansion

By stabilizing the gas stream, this lens allows the tungsten electrode to be extended significantly farther beyond the nozzle cup—often up to an inch or more depending on conditions—without losing shielding effectiveness. This extended stick-out provides the operator with a clearer line of sight to the arc and puddle, facilitating greater precision in critical welding applications.

FAQ

The 45V64S fits Weldcraft and compatible 9, 20, 25, 9V, 9P, 20P, and 22 series TIG torches.

This gas lens is designed specifically for 3/32" (2.4mm) tungsten electrodes.

Yes, this is a 'Large Diameter' gas lens. You will need large diameter alumina nozzles (cups) that are compatible with the large gas lens threads, rather than standard 9/20 series cups.

A stubby gas lens system shortens the overall length of the torch head, allowing the welder to access tighter spaces and maneuver the torch more easily.

Yes. The laminar flow created by the mesh screens allows you to extend the tungsten further out from the nozzle without losing gas coverage, providing a better view of the weld puddle.

This item is sold individually (Package of 1).

No, the 45V64S is designed for the smaller 9/20 series thread pattern. For 17/18/26 torches, you would need a different series of stubby gas lenses.

The body is typically machined from brass or copper alloys, containing stainless steel mesh screens for gas diffusion.
