8-Pc TIG Welding Stubby Gas Lens Kit #12 Glass Cup WP17/18/26

8-Piece TIG Welding Stubby Gas Lens Kit — #12 Glass Cup for WP17, WP18 & WP26 Torches

Upgrade your TIG welding setup with this complete 8-piece stubby gas lens kit, engineered for use with WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 TIG welding torches. Featuring a heat-resistant #12 borosilicate glass cup and precision-machined consumables, this kit delivers improved shielding gas coverage, better arc visibility, and more consistent welds — all in one convenient bundle.

Made in Mainland China.

What's in the Box

• 1 × #12 Heat-Resistant Glass Cup — wide-bore design for superior shielding gas flow and clear arc visibility
• 1 × 17CB20G Stubby Gas Lens Collet Body — 3.2mm / 1/8" for WP17/18/26 torches
• 1 × 10N25S Stubby Collet — 3.2mm / 1/8" precision-machined for a secure tungsten hold
• 4 × High-Temperature O-Rings — rated for extreme welding heat to maintain a leak-free seal
• 1 × Gas Lens Insulator — protects your torch head from heat and electrical conductivity

Key Features

• ✅ Stubby gas lens design — shorter profile for tight corners and confined spaces
• ✅ Improved shielding gas distribution — the gas lens mesh evenly disperses argon/mixed gas flow for cleaner welds
• ✅ Heat-resistant #12 glass cup — withstands high welding temperatures without cracking or discoloration
• ✅ Universal fit — compatible with WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 air-cooled TIG torch bodies
• ✅ Premium materials — durable machined brass, high-temp O-rings, and borosilicate glass for long service life
• ✅ Easy drop-in replacement — no modifications needed; direct swap for worn OEM consumables

Specifications

Who Is This For?

Whether you're a hobbyist welder working on thin aluminum or a professional fabricator tackling stainless steel pipe, this stubby gas lens kit helps you achieve tighter shielding gas coverage, reduce turbulence, and produce cleaner, more precise TIG beads. The stubby form factor is especially useful when working in tight access areas where a standard torch setup just won't fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which TIG torch models is this stubby gas lens kit compatible with?

A: This 8-piece kit is designed to fit WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 air-cooled TIG welding torches. The collet body and stubby collet are both sized at 3.2mm (1/8"), making them a direct-fit replacement for standard OEM consumables on these popular torch models.

Q: What is the advantage of using a stubby gas lens over a standard gas lens?

A: A stubby gas lens has a shorter overall length compared to a standard gas lens, which lets you work closer to your workpiece and access tight or confined joints more easily. Combined with the #12 glass cup, the stubby gas lens also provides a wider, more even distribution of shielding gas around the tungsten electrode, reducing weld porosity and improving bead quality.

Q: Is the #12 glass cup heat-resistant enough for sustained TIG welding?

A: Yes. The #12 cup included in this kit is made from high-temperature borosilicate glass, which is specifically formulated to withstand the intense heat generated during TIG welding. The 4 high-temp O-rings in the kit further ensure a secure, leak-free connection between the cup and torch body throughout extended welding sessions.

Q: How many pieces are included and what does each one do?

A: The kit contains 8 pieces total: 1 × #12 heat-resistant glass cup (shielding), 1 × 17CB20G stubby gas lens collet body (gas distribution), 1 × 10N25S stubby collet (tungsten grip), 4 × high-temperature O-rings (sealing), and 1 × gas lens insulator (torch head protection).
