OVERVIEW

ESAB 53N61 TIG Gas Lens Cup - Size #8

Optimize your TIG welding setup with the ESAB 53N61 Gas Lens Nozzle. This Size #8 alumina cup is an essential component for welders using WP-9, WP-20, or WP-25 series torches equipped with gas lens collet bodies. With a 1/2-inch bore, it offers a perfect balance of gas coverage and accessibility, making it a staple in many professional welding shops. The ceramic construction ensures it can handle the heat of daily industrial use while maintaining its structural integrity.

The primary advantage of using the 53N61 nozzle in a gas lens configuration is the improvement in weld quality through better gas management. Standard nozzles often suffer from turbulence that pulls oxygen into the weld zone, leading to porosity or oxidation. The 53N61, combined with the mesh screens of a gas lens, smooths out the argon flow. This results in a cleaner, shinier weld bead and reduces post-weld cleaning time. It is particularly beneficial when welding alloys that are reactive to the atmosphere.

Installation is straightforward: simply thread the 53N61 onto your 45V-series gas lens collet body. Its standardized threading ensures a secure fit that prevents gas leakage at the cup joint. Whether you are a hobbyist looking to improve your bead appearance or a professional needing reliable gas coverage for critical code work, this ESAB nozzle delivers the performance you need. Keep your torch running at peak efficiency with genuine or high-quality compatible consumables.

FAQ

The 53N61 fits WP-9, WP-20, and WP-25 series TIG torches when equipped with a gas lens collet body.

It is a Size #8 nozzle, which corresponds to a 1/2-inch (12.7mm) inside diameter orifice.

Yes, this nozzle is designed for use with a gas lens collet body (e.g., 45V43, 45V44, 45V45). It will not fit standard collet bodies.

It is made from high-grade alumina ceramic, known for its resistance to high temperatures and thermal shock.

Gas lens nozzles provide laminar gas flow, which improves shielding coverage and allows you to extend the tungsten further for better visibility.

This item is typically priced and sold individually, though bulk packs may be available depending on the listing.

No, the 53N series nozzles are for the 9/20 series torches. WP-17 torches typically use 54N series nozzles for gas lenses.
