OVERVIEW

Reliable Shielding for Your TIG Torch

When you are under the hood, the last thing you want to worry about is your consumables. The Generic 13N16 Alumina TIG Nozzle Cup is the workhorse of the welding shop, providing the durability and consistency you need to lay down perfect beads. Designed to fit the popular WP-9 and WP-20 series torches, this #6 cup is the go-to size for a wide variety of welding applications. Whether you are working on a delicate root pass or capping a joint, the 3/8-inch opening gives you the visibility and gas coverage necessary to control your puddle with precision.

Made from tough pink alumina ceramic, this cup is built to handle the heat. It resists cracking from thermal shock, meaning it stands up to the rapid heating and cooling cycles typical of daily welding operations. While it is an economical generic replacement, it doesn't skimp on performance. It threads on smoothly to your standard collet body, creating a tight seal that directs your shielding gas exactly where it needs to go. This helps you avoid common issues like porosity and ensures your tungsten stays protected from the atmosphere.

This nozzle is an essential part of any TIG welder's kit. The #6 size is often considered a "standard" starting point for many joints, offering a great middle ground between the tight access of smaller cups and the broad coverage of larger ones. It is compatible with all major brands of 9 and 20 series torches, including air-cooled and water-cooled models. Keep a few of these in your toolbox so you are never caught without a fresh cup when you need one. Whether you are a hobbyist in the garage or a pro in the fabrication shop, this alumina nozzle delivers the performance you expect at a price that makes sense.

FAQ

The 13N16 nozzle is designed to fit 9 Series (air-cooled) and 20/25 Series (water-cooled) TIG torches. This includes models like the WP-9, WP-20, WP-25, and compatible torches from brands like CK Worldwide, Miller, Lincoln, and ESAB.

A #6 TIG cup has an inside orifice diameter of 3/8 of an inch (approximately 9.5mm). The number '6' refers to 6/16ths of an inch.

This specific product is made of Alumina Ceramic, which is the standard pinkish-white material used for most general-purpose TIG nozzles. It offers excellent heat resistance and durability for standard amperage ranges.

No, the 13N16 is a standard nozzle designed to thread onto a standard collet body (13N series). It is not compatible with gas lens collet bodies, which typically require 53N series nozzles.

You should replace the nozzle if it becomes cracked, chipped, or heavily built up with spatter that disrupts gas flow. A damaged cup can lead to poor shielding gas coverage and weld defects.

Yes, the alumina material is suitable for both AC (Aluminum/Magnesium) and DC (Steel/Stainless) TIG welding processes.

The 'L' usually denotes a 'Long' version. The standard 13N16 is the regular length. Ensure you are ordering the correct length for your specific joint access requirements.
