OVERVIEW

Reliable #8 TIG Cup for Everyday Welding

If you're running a 17, 18, or 26 style TIG torch, the ESAB 10N46 Gas Nozzle is a staple consumable you need in your kit. This is a standard Size #8 cup, which gives you a 1/2-inch bore. It's the perfect middle-ground size for a lot of different jobs—big enough to give you great gas coverage on stainless and aluminum, but not so huge that it gets in the way or wastes argon. It's made from tough alumina ceramic, so it handles the heat of high-amperage welding without cracking easily.

Fitment is standard, meaning it screws right onto your regular collet body (10N30, 10N31, 10N32, etc.). It's not for gas lens setups (those usually take the fatter 54N cups), but for a standard setup, this is the go-to. The pink ceramic is easy to spot and durable enough to handle the occasional bump against the workpiece. Keeping a fresh nozzle on your torch helps keep your gas flow smooth and your welds clean.

Don't let a chipped or clogged cup ruin your weld. Swap it out with a genuine ESAB 10N46 to get back to stacking dimes with a stable arc and clean shielding. Whether you are in the shop or out in the field, this nozzle delivers the performance you expect from a top-tier brand.

Why Welders Choose This Cup

  • Perfect Fit: Screws on smooth to any standard 17/18/26 torch.
  • Great Coverage: 1/2" opening is ideal for most joints.
  • Durable: Resists heat cracking and spatter buildup.

FAQ

The 10N46 nozzle is designed to fit standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches (including WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 models).

It is a Size #8 cup, which corresponds to an orifice diameter of 1/2 inch or approximately 12.7mm.

No, the 10N series nozzles are designed for standard collet bodies. If you are using a gas lens, you typically need 54N series nozzles.

It is manufactured from high-grade alumina ceramic, known for its electrical insulation and resistance to high temperatures.

A Size #8 cup (1/2") is a good general-purpose size. Use it when you need slightly more gas coverage than a #6 or #7 cup provides, or for medium-amperage applications.

This is a screw-on nozzle that threads onto the standard collet body of the torch.

Yes, the alumina ceramic material is suitable for the heat generated by both AC (aluminum/magnesium) and DC (steel/stainless) TIG welding processes.
