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.
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.
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.
