OVERVIEW

Upgrade Your TIG Torch with Weldcraft 54N17 Gas Lens Cups

Take your TIG welding precision to the next level with the genuine Weldcraft 54N17 Alumina Gas Lens Nozzle. If you are welding with a 17, 18, or 26 series torch—whether it's a classic WP-17 air-cooled rig or a heavy-duty WP-18 water-cooled setup—switching to a gas lens system is one of the best upgrades you can make. This #5 cup (5/16 inch) is the perfect size for detailed work where visibility and access are paramount. Made from Weldcraft's signature pink alumina ceramic, these nozzles are built to last, resisting the heat and abuse of the shop floor far better than generic alternatives.

Why should you switch to a gas lens nozzle like the 54N17? It comes down to gas coverage and reach. Standard cups often produce a turbulent cloud of gas that can easily be blown away or contaminated if you move the torch too far from the metal. The 54N17, when used with a gas lens, creates a smooth, column-like stream of shielding gas. This laminar flow protects your puddle even when you have to stick your tungsten out 3/4 of an inch or more to reach into a tight corner or a deep V-groove. It’s a game-changer for roll cage fabrication, intake manifold welding, and any job where seeing the puddle is half the battle.

This convenient 10-pack ensures you are always ready to weld. We've all been there—you drop your torch, the cup shatters, and you're scrambling to find a replacement. With a box of ten 54N17 nozzles in your toolbox, you can keep the arc lit and the work moving. The #5 size is versatile enough for thin-gauge stainless steel, chromoly tubing, and precision aluminum work. The ceramic threads on smoothly and stays tight, giving you the confidence that your shielding gas is going exactly where it needs to go. Don't settle for porous welds or poor visibility; equip your torch with Weldcraft gas lens nozzles and experience the difference in control and bead appearance.
