TIG 200 GAS
LENS KIT
INSTRUCTIONS
Part #20284

The Eastwood Gas Lens Kit contains all the common consumable parts
in both 1/16” [1.6mm] and 3/32” [2.4mm] sizes. These parts will also fi t
other brand size WP-17 torches.
Gas lens improves shielding gas coverage by distributing shielding gas
around the tungsten more effi ciently with less turbulence than a
conventional design. A gas lens also allows the tungsten to protrude
further out of the torch for more maneuverability and better visibility of the
area you’re welding and the arc itself.
