10N49 - 10N49 Alumina TIG Cup #5 (5/16") - Pack of 10

Precision Gas Coverage with 10N49 Alumina Cups

Upgrade your TIG torch setup with this 10-pack of Generic 10N49 Alumina Nozzles. Known in the industry as a #5 cup, this nozzle features a 5/16-inch orifice, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of welding joints. The #5 size is particularly effective for tighter joints or lower amperage applications where a massive gas envelope isn't required, allowing for better visibility of the puddle and the tungsten electrode. These cups are compatible with all air-cooled 17 and 26 series torches, as well as water-cooled 18 series torches.

Constructed from pink alumina ceramic, these nozzles offer excellent electrical insulation and heat dissipation properties. In TIG welding, the nozzle not only directs the shielding gas but also must withstand the intense radiant heat from the arc. The alumina material ensures that the cup maintains its structural integrity even during prolonged welding passes. The smooth interior finish promotes laminar gas flow, reducing turbulence that can lead to porosity in the weld. This is crucial for achieving X-ray quality welds on sensitive materials like titanium or stainless steel.

This bulk pack is perfect for the welder who wants to be prepared. Ceramic cups are fragile by nature and can break if dropped or subjected to extreme thermal shock; having a 10-pack on hand means you never have to stop work to wait for parts. These generic 10N49 cups are manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure they thread perfectly onto your existing collet bodies. Whether you are walking the cup on pipe or performing intricate bench work, these nozzles deliver the performance you need at a price that makes sense.
