WP-20 Different insulator for gas lens?

admin

Looking to pickup a gas lens setup to try out on a WP-20. Does the standard insulator work with both the lens setup, and the std collet setup?Not sure if I want to buy an entire kit, I really only use 3/32 tungsten.
Reply:If you buy a gas lens kit, either 1 size or multiple sizes it should come with the correct, but different insulator.
Reply:Is that for large diameter, or std. diameter?I'm looking at this kit right here: http://www.weldingcity.com/tig-torch...p-9-20-25.htmlShould I go to a large diameter?
Reply:I have there 17 series set. As for what size you would know best what will work for you. Will you need to get in tight areas, or butt welding pipe? Big difference.
Reply:My CK230 requires no different insulator with or without the lens. If you buy from USAWeld on eBay (HTP), they have a great chart with all the PN's that are compatible with what torch, insulator, collets, etc....TA Arcmaster 300CM3XMT 304S22P12 suitcase feederX-Treme 12VSOptima pulserTA161SMaxstar 150STLHypertherm PM45OP setupStihl 020AVP, 039, 066 Magnum
Reply:Standard gas lens and cup use same insulator as non gas lens collet body and cup. Only difference is non gas lens cup goes inside lip andd gas lens cup goes outside.Get your kit from HTP/USA weld. They have good prices and high quality goods.

Reply:There are actually 3 different sizes and styles of gas lenses that can fit the WP9/20 torches and I use all 3 dependent on what I'm trying to achieve.The medium and large collets allow me use the ceramics that are common on the 17/26 series of torches. (note the collets and collet bodies on the 17/26 won't fit the 9/20's)The PDF below on the Speedway series of torches gives a breakdown and part numbers which are common throughout the welding industry.The 1st page of the PDF for the SW320 and SW320SA is the one applicable to the WP9/20 torches.Regards Andrew from Oz.http://www.tectorch.com/PDF/speedway...ts%20sheet.pdfLast edited by awill4x4; 09-27-2014 at 10:30 PM.We are Tig welders, gravity doesn't worry us.Miller Dynasty 350. 350 amps of awesomeness.OTC AVP 300 hybrid wave AC/DC inverter tig.
