Value Collection 315070511 Gas Lens Tig Torch Collet Body

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315070511 is a gas lens collet body designed for TIG (GTAW) welding torches. The collet body holds the tungsten electrode in precise alignment within the torch head while the gas lens design distributes shielding gas in a laminar flow pattern, improving arc stability and weld quality. This component is sized for 1/8 inch tungsten electrodes and is a direct-fit replacement for Industry Standard No. 45V45. It is installed by welding technicians and fabricators performing TIG welding on ferrous and non-ferrous materials where clean, controlled shielding gas coverage is required.

This collet body is suited for use with TIG welding torches compatible with 1/8 inch tungsten electrode diameters, including torches designated as size 20. It is commonly used in fabrication shops, maintenance and repair operations, and field welding applications where shielding gas efficiency is a priority. The gas lens design is particularly beneficial when welding in tight or restricted joint configurations where consistent shielding coverage improves fusion quality.

Key Features

• Gas lens design promotes laminar shielding gas flow for improved arc stability
• Sized for 1/8 inch tungsten electrodes
• Compatible with size 20 TIG torches
• Replaces Industry Standard No. 45V45
• Lightweight construction at 0.1 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement for Industry Standard No. 45V45. Compatible with size 20 TIG welding torches accepting 1/8 inch tungsten electrodes.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified welding technicians. Power down and disconnect the welding machine before servicing the torch head. Remove the existing collet body by unscrewing it from the torch body, then thread the replacement collet body in by hand before snugging with appropriate torch wrenches. Verify tungsten electrode seating and gas flow before resuming welding operations.
