OVERVIEW

Achieve Cleaner Welds with Superior Gas Coverage

Take your TIG welding results to the next level with the Weldcraft 53N88 Large Alumina Gas Lens Nozzle. Often referred to as a #10 cup, this 5/8-inch nozzle is a favorite among fabricators who demand the cleanest possible puddles. When used with a large gas lens collet body, this nozzle smooths out the flow of argon, eliminating turbulence and creating a stable, laminar stream of shielding gas around your tungsten and weld pool.

Why switch to a large gas lens setup? The primary benefit is the ability to stick your tungsten out further—sometimes up to an inch—while still maintaining perfect shielding. This is a game-changer when you need to see around corners or weld inside tight fillets. The 53N88 gives you that extra reach and visibility, making it easier to lay down consistent, high-quality beads on stainless steel and aluminum.

Built by Weldcraft, a brand synonymous with TIG quality, these nozzles are made from durable alumina ceramic that resists cracking from heat and impact. Whether you are running an air-cooled 17 or 26 torch, or a water-cooled 18 or 20, this nozzle fits them all (requires large gas lens adapter). Don't let poor gas coverage ruin your workpiece; upgrade to the 53N88 for professional-grade shielding.

FAQ

The 53N88 fits 9, 17, 18, 20, 26, and 27 series torches, but it requires a Large Diameter Gas Lens Collet Body to mount correctly.

A #10 nozzle has a bore diameter of 5/8 of an inch (approximately 16mm).

Yes, this is a 'Large Gas Lens' nozzle. It will not fit standard collet bodies or standard gas lens collet bodies. You must use a Large Diameter Gas Lens Collet Body (e.g., 45V series for large lenses).

It is manufactured from high-grade Alumina ceramic, known for its electrical insulation and thermal shock resistance.

Large gas lenses provide a wider, more laminar gas flow, allowing for better shielding coverage and the ability to extend the tungsten further for better visibility and access.

These are typically sold in packages of 10, though some retailers may sell them individually. Please check the specific quantity listing.

Yes, the alumina material handles the heat of AC welding well, and the large gas coverage is excellent for keeping aluminum puddles clean.

The 53N88 has a standard length of 1-7/8 inches (48mm).
