OVERVIEW

Reach Further with the Weldcraft Extra Long Lava Nozzle

Every TIG welder knows the frustration of trying to lay a perfect bead in a tight corner or deep inside a manifold. Your hand is cramped, you can't see the puddle, and if you stick your tungsten out too far, you lose gas coverage and get porosity. The Weldcraft 796F77 Extra Long Lava Nozzle is the solution to these headaches. Designed specifically for the popular WP-9 and WP-20 series torches, this nozzle gives you the extension you need to reach into those difficult spots while keeping your gas coverage rock-solid.

Why Lava? Unlike standard pink ceramic cups that can crack under sudden temperature changes, this nozzle is made from Lava. This material is incredibly tough and handles the heat of reflection extremely well. If you are welding in a tight corner where the heat bounces right back at the cup, Lava is often the superior choice for longevity. It stands up to the abuse of daily fabrication work, meaning you spend less time swapping out broken cups and more time welding.

Precision and Visibility

The #6 size (3/8 inch) is a perfect all-around size for most precision work. It provides a tight, controlled gas envelope that saves argon while protecting the weld pool. Because the nozzle is extra long, it also improves your visibility. You can see around the cup easier, allowing you to watch the puddle wet out into the toes of the weld with greater clarity. This is a game-changer for roll cage builders, exhaust fabricators, and aerospace welders who demand perfection in every pass.

Value and Convenience

Sold in a convenient pack of 10, this kit ensures you are always ready for the next job. Whether you are running a production line or a custom fab shop, having a stock of extended nozzles means you never have to stop work to improvise a solution for a hard-to-reach weld. Upgrade your torch setup with the Weldcraft 796F77 and experience the difference that the right consumable can make in your comfort and weld quality.

FAQ

This nozzle is designed to fit WP-9, WP-20, WP-22, and WP-25 series TIG torches. It is compatible with standard collet bodies for these torch series.

Lava nozzles are machined from a natural stone material and fired, offering excellent resistance to thermal shock and high reflected heat. Alumina (pink) nozzles are made from high-purity ceramic and are generally more brittle but offer good impact resistance.

A #6 nozzle has an orifice diameter of 6/16ths of an inch, which equals 3/8 of an inch or approximately 9.5mm.

An extra-long nozzle allows the welder to extend the tungsten electrode further to reach into deep grooves, corners, or tight spaces while maintaining adequate gas shielding around the weld pool.

The Weldcraft 796F77 is sold as a package of 10 nozzles.

While possible, Lava material can be slightly softer than alumina. For aggressive walking the cup techniques, standard alumina cups are often preferred, but this nozzle works well for freehand welding in tight spots.

This specific part number is typically designed for standard collet bodies. If you are using a gas lens, you would generally need a different series of nozzles designed to thread onto the gas lens body.
