N-5818C - Bernard Centerfire Copper Nozzle, 5/8 in Bore, 1/8 in Recess

Bernard N-5818C Centerfire Nozzle - 5/8" Bore, 1/8" Recess

Maximize your welding efficiency with the Bernard N-5818C Centerfire MIG Nozzle, a staple component for professional welders using Bernard Q-Series and BTB MIG guns. This nozzle is designed to solve common frustrations associated with MIG gun maintenance while delivering superior weld quality. With a 5/8-inch bore, it offers a balanced gas coverage area suitable for a wide range of wire sizes from .023" to 3/32", making it an excellent all-around nozzle for general fabrication and manufacturing.

The standout benefit of the N-5818C is its user-friendly design. It features a 1/8-inch recessed tip relationship, which helps prevent the contact tip from shorting against the workpiece while keeping it close enough for good electrical stick-out. The nozzle works in tandem with Bernard's drop-in contact tips. Because the nozzle holds the tip in place, there are no threads on the tip to fuse or strip. When burnback occurs, you simply unscrew the nozzle, drop in a new tip, and hand-tighten the nozzle back on—no pliers or wrenches required.

Durability and performance are at the core of the N-5818C's construction. Made from solid copper, it effectively draws heat away from the front end, keeping your consumables cooler during long welds. The integrated spatter shield is a critical addition that protects the gas diffuser from clogging and ensures that shielding gas is delivered smoothly to the weld puddle. This reduction in gas turbulence helps minimize weld contamination and rework. Whether you are welding mild steel, aluminum, or stainless steel, the Bernard N-5818C delivers the reliability and ease of use that professional welders demand.
