OVERVIEW

Reliable Performance in Tight Spaces with Weldcraft 796F70

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of trying to lay a perfect bead in a tight corner, only to have their ceramic cup crack from the heat. When you are welding inside a manifold, a roll cage, or a deep V-groove, the heat from your arc doesn't just go into the metal—it reflects right back at your torch. Standard pink alumina cups simply aren't built to handle that kind of thermal stress; they expand too quickly and snap, ruining your gas coverage and costing you money. The Weldcraft 796F70 Long Lava Nozzle is the solution to this common shop headache. Made from a specialized "Lava" ceramic, this nozzle is built to withstand the intense reflective heat that destroys lesser cups.

The 796F70 isn't just tough; it's designed for reach. Its elongated shape acts like an extension for your torch, letting you get the tungsten exactly where it needs to be without the torch head bumping into the workpiece. The #3 size (3/16-inch opening) is perfect for fine detail work where precision is paramount. Whether you are welding stainless steel exhaust headers or intricate aluminum brackets, this nozzle gives you the visibility and access you need to control the puddle effectively. It fits all standard 9-series and 20-series torches, meaning it works with the most popular lightweight TIG rigs on the market today.

At Welders Supply, we know that downtime is the enemy of profitability. That's why we offer these high-performance nozzles in a convenient 10-pack. You shouldn't have to stop working to order a single replacement cup. With a pack of ten in your toolbox, you are ready for the most demanding jobs that come through the door. Upgrade your consumables to match the quality of your welding skills. The Weldcraft 796F70 offers the durability, reach, and precision required for professional fabrication, ensuring that your equipment works as hard as you do.

  • Petrochemical Piping: Withstands the reflective heat generated during root pass welding in small diameter pipes.

FAQ

The 796F70 fits '2 Series' TIG torches. This includes popular air-cooled models like the WP-9 and water-cooled models like the WP-20 and WP-25. It also fits compatible torches from other brands like CK Worldwide (2-Series) and Lincoln.

Alumina (pink) nozzles are molded ceramic and are great for general use but can crack under high thermal shock. Lava nozzles are machined from a specific ceramic material that has much better resistance to cracking caused by reflective heat in confined spaces.

A #3 cup has an orifice diameter of 3/16 of an inch (approximately 4.8mm). This small size is used for precision welding and accessing very tight joints.

The 796F70 is considered a 'Long' nozzle and measures approximately 1-7/8 inches in length. This extra length helps extend the reach of the torch into deep or narrow areas.

No, the 796F70 is typically designed to thread onto a standard collet body. However, always check your specific torch setup, as gas lens versions usually have different part numbers (often starting with 53N).

You would choose a long nozzle when the geometry of your workpiece prevents a standard nozzle from getting close enough to the joint. The long nozzle extends the tungsten reach while keeping the torch handle further back.

This product is sold as a package of 10 nozzles.

Yes, Lava nozzles can be used for both DC (steel/stainless) and AC (aluminum) welding processes, provided the amperage is within the rating of the torch and consumable setup.
