OVERVIEW

Achieve Cleaner Welds with the #8 Large Gas Lens Cup

Take your TIG welding results to the next level with the 57N74 Large Diameter Alumina Gas Lens Nozzle. If you are tired of struggling with porosity, gray welds on stainless steel, or poor visibility in tight corners, switching to a large gas lens setup with this #8 cup is the solution. This nozzle is a favorite among professional fabricators for its ability to provide a wide, calm blanket of shielding gas over the weld puddle. By smoothing out the gas flow, it eliminates the turbulence that often sucks oxygen into the weld, giving you those colorful, shiny beads you strive for.

The #8 size (1/2-inch opening) is the perfect "daily driver" for a wide range of applications. It is large enough to provide excellent coverage on pipe and plate, yet compact enough to maneuver around roll cages or manifolds. Because it is made from high-quality alumina ceramic, it stands up to the intense heat of AC aluminum welding and high-amperage DC work without cracking or melting prematurely. The durability of this cup means you spend less time changing out broken parts and more time under the hood.

One of the biggest advantages of using this 57N74 nozzle with a gas lens is the ability to stick your tungsten out further. Whether you are walking the cup on a root pass or reaching into a tight gusset, the laminar flow keeps your tungsten protected even at extended lengths. This pack of 10 ensures you always have a fresh cup ready to go in your toolbox. Compatible with all major TIG torches including the WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 series (with large gas lens bodies), this is an essential upgrade for any serious welder looking to improve their consistency and weld quality.

FAQ

The 57N74 fits 17, 18, 26, 27, and CS300 series torches equipped with large diameter gas lens collet bodies. It can also fit 9 and 20 series torches if a large diameter gas lens adapter is used.

A #8 nozzle has a bore diameter of 1/2 inch, or approximately 12.7 millimeters.

Yes, this is a 'Large Diameter' nozzle and requires a Large Diameter Gas Lens Collet Body (e.g., 45V64 for 17/18/26 torches). It will not fit standard collet bodies or standard gas lenses.

It is made from high-impact Alumina ceramic, known for its thermal shock resistance and durability in high-amperage applications.

Gas lens nozzles provide laminar gas flow, which improves shielding coverage, reduces turbulence, and allows for greater tungsten stick-out for better visibility.

This product is typically sold as a package of 10 nozzles.

Yes, the #8 size and the durable alumina material make it a popular choice for walking the cup on pipe and tubing.

Yes, the alumina material handles the heat of AC welding well, and the gas lens improves cleaning action stability.
