Furicktorchmount - Furick Adapter Kit for 17/18/26 Series Torches

Precision Adapter System for Furick Cups

The Furick Torch Mount Kit is an essential assembly designed to adapt standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches for use with Furick's premium line of glass and ceramic cups. Standard TIG torch consumables often lack the specific threading and O-ring retention grooves required to securely seat larger diameter cups like the Fupa #12 or the BBW. This kit bridges that gap, replacing the stock collet body with a specialized gas lens system engineered for optimal performance.

At the core of this kit is a high-quality gas lens, typically sized for 3/32" (2.4mm) tungsten, which is critical for generating the laminar gas flow that Furick cups are famous for. The inclusion of a wedge-style collet ensures superior electrical contact and reduces the risk of twisting or deformation under heat stress compared to standard split collets. The kit also provides the necessary insulator and O-rings to create a hermetic seal, preventing atmospheric contamination from being drawn into the weld pool via the back of the cup.

For industrial applications requiring precision shielding on stainless steel, titanium, or Inconel, the stability provided by this mount kit is paramount. It ensures that the advanced gas diffusion screens inside Furick cups function as intended, providing a wide, stable envelope of shielding gas. This kit is compatible with both air-cooled (17, 26) and water-cooled (18) torch bodies, making it a versatile solution for diverse welding environments.
