OVERVIEW

Precision Visibility for Intricate Welds

The Furick Ally #5 Glass Cup Kit is a premium TIG welding accessory designed to solve one of the most common challenges in precision fabrication: visibility. Constructed from high-quality, heat-resistant borosilicate glass, this cup allows the operator to view the tungsten electrode, the arc, and the weld puddle through the nozzle itself. This transparency is invaluable when welding in obstructed areas or when maintaining a tight arc length is critical for weld quality.

The "Ally #5" designation refers to its compact #5 orifice size, making it significantly smaller than many of the larger diffuser cups Furick is known for (like the Fupa 12 or BBW). This smaller footprint allows the cup to fit into tight corners, narrow V-grooves, and complex pipe clusters where larger cups simply cannot reach. Despite its small size, it is engineered to provide smooth, laminar gas flow to shield the weld pool effectively, reducing turbulence and the risk of porosity.

This kit is an excellent addition to any professional welder's arsenal, particularly those working with motorsports components, aerospace parts, or artistic metalwork. It is designed to mount onto standard gas lens collet bodies (typically 9/20 style, or 17/18/26 with a stubby kit) using the included O-rings for a secure, gas-tight seal. Whether you are welding stainless steel exhaust headers or aluminum intake manifolds, the Furick Ally #5 provides the clarity needed for perfect bead placement.

FAQ

It generally fits 9 and 20 series torches with a gas lens. For 17, 18, and 26 series torches, you will typically need a stubby gas lens kit to adapt it.

While borosilicate glass is heat resistant, it is more fragile than ceramic. Care should be taken not to drop it or hit it against hard surfaces.

It is possible, but not recommended for heavy walking as the glass can scratch or chip on rough surfaces. It is best suited for freehand welding.

No, this kit typically includes the glass cup and O-rings. You must already have the appropriate gas lens collet body for your torch.

Glass cups generally have lower amperage limits than ceramic. It is recommended to stay within reasonable limits for a #5 size (typically under 180A depending on duty cycle) to prevent overheating the O-rings or glass.

Yes, the Ally #5 works well for AC aluminum welding, especially in tight areas where visibility is key.

Place the supplied O-rings onto your gas lens collet body and gently push the glass cup over the O-rings until it is seated securely.

The #5 size is small and narrow, allowing the welder to access very tight angles and corners that larger cups cannot reach.
