53N87XL - Weldcraft 53N87XL #12 Extra Long Alumina Gas Lens Cup

Reach Tight Spaces with Precision

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of trying to lay a perfect bead in a tight corner or deep inside a manifold where a standard cup just won't fit. The Weldcraft 53N87XL Alumina Gas Lens Nozzle is your solution for those hard-to-reach joints. This "Extra Long" #12 cup gives you the extension you need to see your puddle clearly and manipulate your arc without the nozzle obstructing your view or hitting the workpiece. Whether you are welding roll cages, intricate exhaust headers, or precision aerospace components, the added length of this nozzle acts like an extension of your hand, getting you right into the action.

But length isn't the only advantage. Because this is a gas lens nozzle, it is designed to provide superior gas coverage. When you are reaching into a tight spot, you often have to stick your tungsten out further than usual. With a standard cup, this would lead to turbulence and porosity. However, when paired with a gas lens, the 53N87XL creates a smooth, laminar column of argon that protects your tungsten and your weld pool even at longer stick-outs. The large 3/4-inch opening (Size #12) floods the area with shielding gas, ensuring that even reactive metals like stainless steel and titanium remain bright and clean.

Durability is also built-in. Made from high-quality alumina, this nozzle stands up to the intense heat of TIG welding and resists cracking from thermal shock. It also resists spatter buildup, so you spend less time scraping your cup and more time welding. It fits a huge range of torches—from the small 9 and 20 series to the heavy-duty 17, 18, and 26 series—so it's likely compatible with the rig you are running right now. Add the 53N87XL to your kit and stop struggling with access issues; get the reach and coverage you need for professional-grade welds.
