10N48 - Alumina TIG Welding Cup Size #6 (3/8") for 17/18/26 Torches

High-Performance 10N48 Alumina TIG Cup Size #6

The Generic 10N48 Alumina TIG Cup is a staple consumable for welders utilizing the popular 3-series TIG torches. Sized as a #6 cup with a 3/8-inch bore, it strikes the perfect balance between gas coverage and maneuverability, allowing welders to access tighter joints while maintaining adequate shielding of the weld pool. This nozzle is crafted from high-grade alumina ceramic, a material chosen for its superior thermal conductivity and resistance to thermal shock, ensuring it holds up under the rigors of high-amperage welding.

Designed for 17, 18, and 26 Series Torches

Versatility is paramount in welding shops, and the 10N48 fits the industry's most common torch bodies. It is fully compatible with:

• 17 Series: Air-cooled torches (WP-17) commonly used for general fabrication.
• 18 Series: Water-cooled torches (WP-18) designed for heavy-duty, high-amperage applications.
• 26 Series: Heavy-duty air-cooled torches (WP-26) for field work and thicker materials.

This cross-compatibility means you can stock one nozzle size for multiple torch setups, simplifying inventory and reducing downtime.

Superior Gas Shielding

Proper gas coverage is critical for defect-free welds. The #6 orifice provides a focused stream of shielding gas, ideal for fillet welds and butt joints on standard material thicknesses. The ceramic construction maintains its structural integrity even when exposed to the high reflected heat of aluminum welding or the prolonged arcs of stainless steel fabrication. Unlike lower-quality substitutes, these cups resist chipping and threading issues, ensuring a secure fit on your collet body every time.

Essential TIG Consumable

Whether you are a professional pipe welder or a DIY enthusiast, having reliable consumables is key to consistent results. The Generic 10N48 offers the reliability of OEM parts without the premium price tag. It pairs seamlessly with standard 10N series collets and collet bodies, completing your torch front-end assembly. Upgrade your consumable stock with these durable, heat-resistant alumina cups and experience consistent arc control and bead appearance.
