Pro-source 116-7GL Tig Welding Rod 1/16 in 7 in Lanthanated

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 116-7GL is a 1.5% lanthanated tungsten TIG welding rod designed for gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) applications. Measuring 7 inches in length with a 1/16-inch diameter, this electrode carries a gold color code for quick identification in the shop. Lanthanated tungsten electrodes are widely used across fabrication and maintenance welding because they strike easily, hold a stable arc, and perform well on both AC and DC current. Each unit weighs approximately 0.021 pounds. The rod is sold in a package of 10.

This lanthanated tungsten electrode suits professional welders working in light industrial, fabrication, and maintenance environments. The 1/16-inch diameter is well matched to lower amperage work on thinner base metals including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and nickel alloys. It is a practical choice for shops and field service techs who need a reliable general-purpose TIG electrode in a standard 7-inch length. Heliarc reference number 796F58 may be used for cross-referencing with supplier catalogs.

Key Features

• 1.5% lanthanated tungsten composition for stable arc starting on AC and DC
• Gold color code for fast identification alongside other electrode types
• 1/16-inch diameter suited for lower amperage and thin-material welding
• Standard 7-inch length compatible with common TIG torch collet bodies
• Sold in a package of 10 rods per order unit
• Heliarc cross-reference number 796F58

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 7-inch TIG welding electrode for use with GTAW torches that accept a 1/16-inch collet and collet body.

Installation Notes

TIG electrodes are installed and serviced by qualified welders or welding technicians. Before changing an electrode, shut down the welding power source and allow the torch to cool completely. Grind lanthanated tungsten electrodes longitudinally, not radially, to maintain arc stability and electrode geometry. Follow applicable AWS and workplace safety guidelines when handling tungsten electrodes.
