OVERVIEW

Tough Cups for Hot Jobs: 13N15 Lava Nozzle

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of hearing that distinct "crack" sound when a ceramic cup gives up the ghost. It usually happens right when you are jammed into a tight corner, welding a manifold or a roll cage, and the heat has nowhere to go but back into your torch. That is where the Generic 13N15 Lava TIG Nozzle shines. This isn't your standard pink cup; it's made from Lava material, which is basically the heavy-duty cousin of standard ceramic.

Why choose Lava? It's all about abuse tolerance. These #5 (5/16") cups are built to handle high reflected heat without shattering. If you are walking the cup in a tight V-groove or working inside a pipe, standard alumina cups can crack from the thermal shock. Lava cups take the heat and keep on welding. This means you spend less time changing out broken parts and more time laying down beads. They fit your standard WP-9 and WP-20 torches perfectly, so you don't need any special adapters.

This pack of 10 ensures you are stocked up for the long haul. Whether you are a pipe welder, a fabricator, or a motorsports enthusiast, having a few Lava cups in your kit can save the day when the heat gets turned up. They might cost a few cents more than the cheap pink ones, but they pay for themselves by lasting longer and failing less. Upgrade your front-end parts and stop worrying about cracked cups ruining your gas coverage.

Performance You Can Trust

Don't let a cheap consumable ruin a critical weld. The 13N15 provides a stable gas shield and rugged durability. It's the smart choice for anyone pushing their air-cooled torch to the limit or running high-duty cycles on water-cooled setups.

FAQ

Lava nozzles are made from a material that is more resistant to thermal shock and cracking than standard Alumina (pink ceramic) nozzles. They are ideal for applications with high reflected heat.

No, the 13N15 is designed for 9 and 20 series torches. WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 torches use the larger 10N series nozzles.

The number #5 indicates the size of the nozzle orifice in sixteenths of an inch. A #5 nozzle has a 5/16-inch (approx. 8mm) opening.

Generally, no. The 13N15 threads onto the standard collet body of a 9 or 20 series torch, just like a standard alumina cup.

You choose Lava when you are breaking standard cups due to heat. If you are welding in corners or tight spots where heat reflects back, Lava lasts much longer.

No, the 13N15 is a standard nozzle. If you are using a gas lens setup on a 9/20 torch, you would typically need the 53N series nozzles.

This product is a package of 10 nozzles.

Yes, provided the amperage and gas coverage requirements match a #5 cup size. However, aluminum often requires larger cups for better gas coverage.
