The CK AK-4GS accessory kit is a great fit for CK 2 series torches (9 and 20 series). It can save up to 40% of shield gas consumption, offering better gas coverage compared to standard collet bodies. These parts are more cost - effective than standard gas lenses and are compatible with most standard silicon rubber insulated torch bodies. The kit includes 3 collets (1 each of 1/16', 3/32', 1/8'), 1 collet body, 3 adapters (1 each of 1/16', 3/32', 1/8'), 1 heat shield, 1 long back cap, 3 tungsten electrodes (1 each of 1/16', 3/32', 1/8'), 2 alumina nozzles, and 1 Pyrex nozzle.
Using the CK AK - 4GS gas saver kit is easy. First, make sure your torch is from the CK 2 series (9 or 20 series). Then, simply install the parts included in the kit. The collets, adapters, and electrodes come in different sizes (1/16', 3/32', 1/8'), so choose the right one for your project. When using, keep an eye on the gas consumption, as this kit is designed to save up to 40% of shield gas. For maintenance, after each use, clean the nozzles (both alumina and Pyrex) to keep them in good condition. Also, check the heat shield and long back cap for any signs of wear. If you notice any parts are damaged, replace them promptly to ensure the kit works effectively.
