OVERVIEW

Reach Tight Spots with the Weldcraft 796F70 Long Lava Nozzle

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of trying to lay a perfect bead in a tight corner where your torch just won't fit. Standard cups are often too short or too wide, forcing you to extend your tungsten way too far, which ruins your gas coverage and leads to porosity. The Weldcraft 796F70 Long Lava Nozzle is the solution for those hard-to-reach welds. With a #3 orifice (3/16 inch) and an extended length of nearly 2 inches, this nozzle acts like a surgical tool, letting you get right into the root of a joint while keeping your torch head clear of obstructions. It is designed to fit the popular 9 and 20 series torches, making it a versatile addition to your consumables kit.

But this nozzle isn't just about reach; it's about durability. Have you ever had a ceramic cup snap or crack for no apparent reason when you were welding inside a pipe or a deep box? That's usually because standard pink alumina cups can't handle the heat that bounces back off the metal in tight spaces. That reflected heat cooks the cup, causing it to expand rapidly, and when you stop welding, it shrinks and cracks. The 796F70 is made of Lava, a tougher ceramic material that is specifically built to handle that kind of thermal abuse. It absorbs and dissipates the heat without shattering, saving you money on replacements and frustration on the job.

This 10-pack ensures you are stocked up for big projects. Whether you are working on an intricate exhaust manifold, an aircraft fuselage, or precision sanitary piping, having a long lava nozzle in your arsenal allows you to tackle the tricky shots that other welders might turn down. The #3 size is perfect for lower amperage work where precision is key and gas flow needs to be focused tightly on the weld pool. Upgrade your torch setup with the Weldcraft 796F70 and stop worrying about cracked cups in tight corners.

FAQ

Lava nozzles are made from a ceramic material that handles thermal shock better than Alumina. They are recommended for confined areas where heat is reflected back at the nozzle, as they are less likely to crack from expansion and contraction.

This nozzle fits Series 2 TIG torches. This includes air-cooled models like the WP-9 and water-cooled models like the WP-20, WP-22, and WP-25, as well as compatible torches from CK, Lincoln, and others.

A #3 nozzle has an orifice diameter of 3/16 of an inch (approximately 4.8mm).

A long nozzle, like the 796F70 (1-7/8" length), allows you to extend the reach of your torch into deep corners, pipes, or recesses while maintaining proper gas coverage, which is difficult with standard length cups.

This product is sold as a package of 10 nozzles.

Yes, Lava nozzles can be used for both DC (steel/stainless) and AC (aluminum) TIG welding processes, provided the amperage is within the rating of the torch and consumable setup.

No, the 796F70 is a standard nozzle designed to thread onto a standard collet body. It is not designed for use with a gas lens assembly.

The internal SKU for the Weldcraft 796F70 10-pack is MIL796F70.
