I have a Weldcraft HP-20 water-cooled TIG torch and I want to properly fit it for some titanium welding I need to do.
I can not find this torch listed and I am trying to cross reference it to fit a large gas lens for TI welding.
Any suggestions as to which large gas lens is recommended or what my HP-20 cross references to is appreciated.
(The HP20 is on the torch body )

Welcome to the forum!
If I understand your question, you are looking for a gas lens and cups for your type 20 watercooled torch, correct? Consumables may not be listed specifically for the Weldcraft HP-20, but the "type 20" part of that name gives you the matching parameter.
Quick detour: apologies in advance if you know this already, I don't mean to preach. Air-cooled torches come in type 9, 17, and 26. Water-cooled torches come in type 18, 20, 24, and 25. Consumable torch parts such as collets, collet bodies, and cups for a type 9 torch, for example are interchangeable among manufacturers, so you can buy compatible parts from just about anyone.
This is a link to an online seller that I've had good experiences with (I have no affiliation).

If you click on the first link for "53N58 #4 Alumina Cup" and scroll down a touch you'll see an exploded view of a torch with what looks like a comprehensive list of consumables for different types of torch.
Is that helpful?

After few attempts I got thru to someone at Miller / Weldcraft and they confirmed my HP-20 torch is identical to the current WP-20 torch body and parts are interchangeable. There is nothing worse than ordering parts & waiting obly to find out they do not fit....
Again thank you for the reply.
