17GL332 - Miller Weldcraft 17GL332 Stubby Gas Lens 3/32" (2 Pack)

Genuine Miller Weldcraft 17GL332 Stubby Gas Lens (2-Pack)

Optimize your TIG welding setup with the Miller Weldcraft 17GL332 Stubby Gas Lens. Designed for professional fabricators and industrial welders, this high-quality consumable is engineered to enhance the performance of standard air-cooled and water-cooled TIG torches. This package contains two genuine Weldcraft gas lenses, specifically sized for 3/32-inch (2.4mm) tungsten electrodes.

The 17GL332 is a "stubby" gas lens, a critical modification for welders working in confined areas or on complex geometries. By replacing the standard, longer gas lens or collet body with this compact version, you effectively reduce the overall length of your torch head. This allows 17, 18, and 26 series torches to utilize smaller alumina cups (typically associated with 9 and 20 series torches), providing the handling characteristics of a smaller torch while maintaining the amperage capacity of a larger one.

Beyond its compact size, the gas lens technology integrated into this component utilizes a multi-layer mesh screen to smooth the flow of shielding gas. This creates a laminar flow pattern that is far less turbulent than standard collet bodies. The result is a more stable arc, better puddle visibility, and the ability to extend the tungsten electrode further past the cup—up to an inch in some conditions—without losing shielding gas coverage. This is essential for reaching into deep corners or welding inside pipes.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Precision Fit: Manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure excellent electrical conductivity and heat transfer.
• Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of Miller and Weldcraft torches, including the WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 series.
• Durability: Constructed from high-grade copper alloy and stainless steel mesh to withstand the thermal cycles of heavy-duty welding.

Whether you are performing maintenance repair operations (MRO), aerospace fabrication, or general pipe welding, the 17GL332 Stubby Gas Lens is an indispensable upgrade for your consumables kit.
