105Z43 - Weldcraft 105Z43 Lava Cup #4 for 17/18/26 Torches (10-Pack)

Stop Cracking Your Cups in Tight Corners

Every TIG welder knows the sound—that sharp "pop" followed by the realization that your cup just cracked right in the middle of a critical root pass. This usually happens when you are jammed into a tight corner, welding inside a pipe, or working in a manifold where the heat has nowhere to go but back at your torch. Standard pink alumina cups just can't handle that kind of reflective heat; they expand too fast and shatter. The Weldcraft 105Z43 Lava Nozzle is your solution to this headache. Made from a tougher Lava ceramic material, these nozzles are built to take the abuse of confined space welding without falling apart.

The #4 size (1/4 inch) is perfect for those hard-to-reach spots where a larger cup simply won't fit. It gives you the clearance you need to see the puddle and manipulate the tungsten without snagging the nozzle on the workpiece. Because it directs the gas flow in a tighter stream, it is excellent for maintaining coverage in drafty shops or when sticking the tungsten out a bit further to reach a deep fillet. These nozzles fit your standard rig—whether you are running an air-cooled 17 or 26 torch, or a heavy-duty water-cooled 18, these screw right on to your standard collet body. No need to buy special adapters or change your setup.

We know that time is money, and walking back to the tool crib every hour for a new cup kills your rhythm and your paycheck. By switching to Lava nozzles for your high-heat and tight-access work, you stay under the hood longer and get the job done faster. This pack comes with 10 nozzles, so you can stock up your toolbox or the shop cabinet and be ready for whatever the job throws at you. Don't let a cheap cup ruin a perfect weld; upgrade to the durability of Weldcraft Lava nozzles.
