OVERVIEW

Reliable Shielding in Tight Spaces

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of having a ceramic cup crack mid-weld, especially when working in a tight corner where the heat has nowhere to go but back at the torch. The Weldcraft 796F73 Long Lava Nozzle is the professional solution to this common problem. Designed specifically for the 2-Series torches (such as the popular WP-9 air-cooled and WP-20 water-cooled models), this nozzle is built to survive where standard pink alumina cups fail.

The secret lies in the "Lava" material. While it looks similar to other ceramics, lava is formulated to handle the intense reflective heat generated when welding inside pipes, manifolds, or acute angles. When you are welding in a confined area, the heat radiates off the base metal and superheats the nozzle. Standard cups often shatter from the difference in temperature between the inside and outside surfaces. This lava nozzle expands and contracts more uniformly, resisting breakage and saving you money on consumables and downtime.

Beyond its durability, the 796F73 features an extended length of 1-7/8 inches. This extra reach is invaluable when you need to extend your tungsten stick-out to access a root pass or a fillet weld in a deep recess. The #6 size (3/8 inch) offers a versatile gas coverage area suitable for a wide range of amperage settings and material thicknesses. Whether you are welding stainless steel exhaust headers, aluminum intake manifolds, or precision aerospace components, having a pack of these lava nozzles in your kit ensures you are ready for the most demanding joint configurations.

Why Choose Lava?

  • Durability: Resists cracking from reflective heat.
  • Access: Long body design helps you see the puddle in deep joints.
  • Fitment: Fits your standard 9/20 torch setup without special adapters.

FAQ

Lava nozzles are made from a specific ceramic material that handles thermal shock and reflective heat better than standard Alumina nozzles. They are recommended for confined spaces where heat is reflected back at the cup.

This nozzle fits 2-Series TIG torches, which includes models WP-9, WP-20, WP-25, WP-100, and equivalent torches from other brands.

A #6 cup has an orifice diameter of 3/8 of an inch (approximately 9.5mm).

A long nozzle provides better reach into recessed areas and deep joints, allowing for better visibility of the weld puddle and tungsten electrode.

This product is sold as a pack of 10 nozzles.

No, the 796F73 is typically designed to thread onto a standard collet body. Gas lens nozzles usually have different thread sizes and part numbers.

Yes, this is functionally equivalent to the CK Worldwide part number 2C6L.

Yes, lava nozzles can be used for both DC and AC welding processes, provided the amperage is within the rating of your torch and consumables.
