ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for comprises a base, a wall, and an opening in the wall. The base has a first end, a second end, and a channel system. The channel system is located closer to the first end than the second end of the base. The wall extends from a side of the base to partially enclose the channel system. The opening in the wall is located closer to the second end than the first end. The shape of the wall is capable of retaining a gas introduced through the channel system in a welding location and causing the gas to move away from the channel system and through the opening in the wall.
