OVERVIEW

Reliable Gas Coverage with ESAB #8 TIG Cups

Every TIG welder knows that a clean weld starts with good gas coverage, and that starts with your cup. The ESAB 13N12 Alumina Nozzle is the workhorse #8 cup you need in your kit. With a 1/2-inch opening, it provides a wide umbrella of shielding gas, making it an excellent choice for general-purpose welding on mild steel, stainless, and aluminum. Whether you are walking the cup on pipe or freehanding a delicate corner joint, this nozzle gives you the visibility and gas flow you need to lay down perfect beads.

These cups are made from durable alumina ceramic. While all ceramic cups will eventually break if dropped or subjected to extreme thermal shock, ESAB's alumina blend is formulated to resist cracking and chipping better than cheaper alternatives. This means you spend less time swapping out broken parts and more time under the hood. They are designed to fit any standard 9 or 20 series torch setup using a standard collet body, so they are compatible with your rig whether you are running a lightweight air-cooled torch in the garage or a heavy-duty water-cooled setup in the shop.

Sold in a convenient pack of 10, this set ensures you aren't left scrambling when you accidentally dip your tungsten or crack a cup in the middle of a job. Keep your arc stable and your welds bright with these genuine ESAB replacements. They are a staple consumable for any serious fabricator looking for consistent performance and value.
