Hi all!

I have some cheapo gas lenses with unclean threading towards tig torch body and would like to know which exact thread type is used there? I plan to buy that threading die to clean the threads.

Thanks.

Looks like it's 5/16-24, this lens is for a #9 style torch. I think I'd buy a thread gauge and measure it before buying a die. If they're cheap lenses, you can probably buy 5 more for the price of gauge and 10 more for the price of the die.

Thanks! Also just got a reply from ck worldwide - they confirmed it's 5/16-24.
