OVERVIEW

Upgrade Your TIG Torch with Better Gas Coverage

If you are looking to smooth out your gas flow and get cleaner, colorful welds, switching to a gas lens setup with the Weldcraft 54N16 Nozzle is one of the best upgrades you can make. This #6 cup (3/8") is the workhorse of the TIG world—perfect for everything from mild steel brackets to stainless exhaust work. Made from tough alumina ceramic, these cups can take the heat without crumbling or cracking halfway through a job.

Why use this gas lens cup over a standard cup? It's all about the flow. When paired with a gas lens body, this nozzle pushes gas out in a straight, calm column rather than a chaotic cloud. This means you can stick your tungsten out further—sometimes up to an inch depending on conditions—to see exactly what you are doing in tight corners or deep grooves. It also helps keep your puddle clean and reduces the chance of porosity, saving you from grinding out bad welds.

These cups fit the standard 17, 18, and 26 series torches found in almost every shop. Whether you are running an air-cooled 17 or a water-cooled 20, if you have the gas lens setup, this cup fits. They come in a pack of 10, so you can keep a stash in your toolbox and never be caught without a fresh cup when you drop your torch or walk the cup a little too hard. Reliable, durable, and essential for precision work.

FAQ

The 54N16 fits 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches (often referred to as the 3 Series) when equipped with a gas lens collet body.

Yes, this nozzle is designed for use with a Gas Lens Collet Body (such as the 45V series). It will not thread onto a standard collet body.

The #6 designation indicates the orifice diameter in sixteenths of an inch. Therefore, a #6 cup has a 6/16" or 3/8" (9.5mm) opening.

It is manufactured from high-grade Alumina ceramic, known for its excellent heat resistance and durability.

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

This product is sold as a package of 10 nozzles.

Yes, the alumina material is durable enough for walking the cup on pipe and plate, though it is standard length, not extra long.

No, the WP-20 is a 2-Series torch. The 54N16 is for 3-Series torches (17, 18, 26). You would need 53N series cups for a WP-20 gas lens.
