OVERVIEW

See the Arc, Be the Arc

Take your TIG welding game to the next level with the legendary Furick BBW #16 Glass Cup. If you've ever struggled to see your tungsten tip behind a bulky ceramic nozzle, this clear glass cup is the solution you've been waiting for. It provides a complete, 360-degree view of your weld zone, allowing you to steer the puddle with unmatched accuracy. Whether you are laying down dimes on an exhaust manifold or fabricating a custom intake, the visual feedback you get from a Furick cup helps you maintain consistency and produce those Instagram-worthy welds.

The "BBW" (Big Body Wide) isn't just about looks; it's a performance beast. The massive #16 orifice pumps out a blanket of argon that keeps your weld shiny and colorful, preventing the gray, sugared look of poor gas coverage. The included diffuser screen is the secret sauce—it smooths out the gas flow so effectively that you can extend your tungsten way out to reach into corners that were previously impossible to weld cleanly. This kit includes the glass cup, the essential diffuser screens, and the O-ring needed to snap it onto your gas lens.

Please note that while this cup is tough, it is made of glass. It is designed for precision DC TIG welding (up to 180 amps) and is not intended for "walking the cup" on rough surfaces, which can chip or break the glass. It's a precision instrument for precision work. To get the best results, we recommend bumping your gas flow up to 25-30 CFH to fill that large cup volume. Upgrade your torch today and experience the difference that proper visibility and gas coverage can make in your fabrication work.

Why Welders Love the Furick BBW:

  • Unmatched Clarity: No more guessing where your tungsten is; see everything clearly.
  • Beautiful Welds: Superior gas coverage leads to colorful, oxidation-free beads.
  • Complete Kit: Comes ready to install with screen and O-ring included.
  • Pro-Level Performance: Used by top fabricators in the automotive and aerospace industries.

FAQ

The BBW #16 directly fits 9 and 20 series torches equipped with a gas lens. For 17, 18, and 26 series torches, you will need a specific Furick adapter kit (sold separately) to mount this cup.

Due to the large #16 bore size, a higher gas flow rate of 25-30 CFH (Cubic Feet per Hour) is recommended to ensure adequate shielding coverage and laminar flow.

It is generally not recommended. The BBW #16 is designed primarily for DC applications. High amperage AC can generate excessive heat that may damage the diffuser screen or crack the glass.

No, walking the cup is not recommended with glass nozzles. The friction and impact against the base metal can cause the glass to chip, crack, or shatter. It is best used for freehand welding.

The recommended maximum amperage is 180 amps DC. Exceeding this limit may cause the glass to overheat and fail.

No, this item is the replacement glass cup, diffuser, and O-ring only. You must already have the appropriate gas lens (usually 3/32" or 2.4mm) installed on your torch.

The diffuser screen should be carefully inserted into the cup and seated evenly. Ensure it is not bent or distorted, as this can disrupt the laminar gas flow.

The O-ring provides a friction fit between the glass cup and your torch's gas lens, ensuring the cup stays in place and creating a seal to prevent air from being sucked into the gas stream.
