OVERVIEW

Genuine Weldcraft 53N87 Alumina Gas Lens Cup (Pack of 10)

Optimize your TIG welding setup with the Genuine Weldcraft 53N87 Alumina Gas Lens Nozzle. As part of the Miller Electric family, Weldcraft consumables are the industry standard for quality and consistency. This #12 size nozzle features a generous 3/4-inch orifice, designed specifically for use with large diameter gas lens setups. When welding reactive metals such as titanium, stainless steel, or aluminum, maintaining an inert atmosphere around the molten puddle is paramount. The extra-wide coverage of the 53N87 ensures that the weld zone remains pristine and free from oxidation defects.

The 53N87 is crafted from high-grade alumina, a ceramic material celebrated for its robustness in high-heat environments. It effectively resists the thermal stress of rapid heating and cooling cycles, preventing cracking and extending the lifespan of the consumable. This durability translates to cost savings and improved productivity for your shop. The nozzle is compatible with a vast range of air-cooled and water-cooled torches, including the 9, 17, 18, 20, 26, and 27 series models. This versatility makes it a staple consumable for any welder's toolkit.

One of the primary advantages of using this large diameter gas lens nozzle is the enhancement of gas flow dynamics. By utilizing a gas lens, the shielding gas is distributed evenly through a mesh screen before exiting the nozzle. This creates a column of gas that is far more stable than that of a standard cup. The result is the ability to use a longer tungsten stick-out, giving you better sightlines and access to difficult joints without sacrificing shield integrity. This is particularly useful for walking the cup on pipe welds or navigating complex geometries.

This product comes in a pack of 10, ensuring you are prepared for big jobs. Don't compromise on your consumables; poor gas coverage can lead to expensive rework and failed inspections. Trust the Weldcraft 53N87 to deliver the consistent, high-quality shielding required for professional-grade TIG welding. Upgrade your torch with large diameter gas lenses and experience the difference in arc stability and puddle control.

FAQ

The 53N87 fits 9, 17, 18, 20, 26, and 27 series TIG torches that are equipped with a large diameter gas lens collet body.

A #12 nozzle has a bore diameter of 3/4 of an inch (approximately 19mm).

Yes, this is a 'Large Diameter' nozzle and requires a Large Diameter Gas Lens Collet Body (such as the 45V series for large lenses) to thread onto the torch correctly.

It is made from high-grade Alumina ceramic, which offers excellent heat resistance and durability.

This product is sold as a package of 10 nozzles.

Large diameter nozzles provide a wider umbrella of shielding gas, which is crucial for welding reactive metals or when a long tungsten stick-out is needed for visibility.

No, it is not compatible with standard collet bodies. It is specifically designed for large diameter gas lens setups.

The nozzle is rated for TIG welding applications ranging from 125 Amps up to 500 Amps.
