13N14 - Weldcraft Lava TIG Nozzle Cup, Size #4 (1/4 Inch), For 9 & 20 Series Torches, 10-Pack

Durable Weldcraft 13N14 Lava Cups for 9 & 20 Series Torches

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of a cracked cup in the middle of a critical pass. The Weldcraft 13N14 Lava TIG Nozzle is engineered to solve exactly that problem. Built from high-grade lava material, these nozzles are significantly tougher than their standard pink alumina counterparts. While alumina cups are great for general-purpose work, they often fail when things get hot—really hot. Lava nozzles are machined from a unique mined stone that is fired to create a ceramic with incredible thermal shock resistance. This means they can handle the abuse of high-heat applications and the accidental bumps and knocks that happen in a real-world shop environment.

This specific nozzle is a size #4, which corresponds to a 1/4-inch opening. This size is perfect for tight access work where you need to get the tungsten close to the joint without a bulky cup getting in the way. It is specifically designed to fit the industry-standard 9 Series air-cooled torches and the 20 Series water-cooled torches. Whether you are running a lightweight setup for intricate automotive work or a heavy-duty water-cooled rig for production runs, these cups screw right on and stay put. The lava material is especially beneficial when welding in corners or inside pipes where heat has nowhere to go but back at the torch; where a standard cup might shatter, the lava cup keeps on performing.

Using genuine Weldcraft parts means you aren't gambling with quality. Cheap generic cups often have poor threading or inconsistent wall thickness, leading to turbulent gas flow and porosity in your welds. The 13N14 delivers smooth, laminar gas flow to shield your puddle effectively. By choosing a pack of 10, you ensure that your toolbox is stocked for the long haul. While lava nozzles might have a slightly higher upfront cost compared to basic ceramics, the math works out in your favor when you aren't throwing away cracked cups every other day. They are a favorite among pipe welders and fabricators who demand reliability.

Upgrade your TIG torch setup with consumables that work as hard as you do. The Weldcraft 13N14 offers the perfect balance of precision and durability. The #4 size gives you the maneuverability you need for fine detail work, while the lava construction gives you the peace of mind that your equipment won't fail under thermal stress. Don't let consumable failures slow down your production—switch to Weldcraft Lava nozzles and experience the difference in longevity and performance.
