OVERVIEW

Get the Best Coverage with Lincoln Electric TIG Cups

When you are under the hood, the last thing you want to worry about is your gas coverage. The Lincoln Electric KP2017-3B1 Alumina Nozzle is the trusty #6 cup you need for your PTA-9 or PTA-20 torch. With a 3/8-inch opening, it hits that sweet spot for general TIG work—giving you enough gas coverage for a clean puddle without being so bulky that it blocks your view of the arc. It’s the perfect daily driver for welding steel, stainless, or aluminum when you are running standard setups.

We know that cups get dropped, chipped, and crusted up over time. That’s why sticking with quality alumina ceramic matters. These nozzles are built to handle the heat cycles of a busy shop. They screw on smooth and stay tight, so you aren't fighting loose parts while trying to lay down a stack of dimes. The pink ceramic body is tough enough to survive the heat of the arc and the occasional bump against the workpiece. If you are running a Lincoln Pro-Torch, don't settle for generic knock-offs that might have uneven threads or inconsistent bore sizes.

This nozzle is designed for standard collet bodies (not gas lenses), making it a straightforward replacement for your existing kit. Whether you are fabricating a roll cage, repairing a manifold, or doing precision bench work, the #6 cup gives you the control you need. Keep a few of these in your toolbox so you are never stuck trying to weld with a cracked cup or poor gas flow. Clean welds start with good consumables, and Lincoln Electric delivers the quality you expect.

FAQ

This nozzle is designed for Lincoln Electric Pro-Torch™ models PTA-9, PTA-20, and PTW-20. It is also generally compatible with standard WP-9 and WP-20 series torches.

A No. 6 nozzle has an inside bore diameter of 3/8 of an inch, or approximately 9.5 millimeters.

The KP2017 series is designed for use with standard collet bodies. If you are using a gas lens, you will typically need a different series of nozzles (often the 53N series for 9/20 torches).

It is made from Alumina Ceramic, which offers high heat resistance and durability against thermal shock.

Replace the cup if you see any cracks, chips on the edge, or excessive build-up that disrupts gas flow. A damaged cup can cause turbulence and ruin your weld coverage.

No, PTA-17 and PTA-26 torches typically use the 10N series consumables (larger thread). This nozzle fits the smaller 9 and 20 series front ends.

While Lincoln suffixes can vary, this SKU generally refers to a single unit. Always check the specific quantity listed by the vendor, but it is typically sold as 1 per each.

A #6 cup (3/8") is smaller, allowing better access into tight corners compared to a #8 (1/2"), though the #8 provides a wider gas shield. Choose based on joint accessibility and required gas coverage.
