53N88L - Weldcraft 53N88L Long Alumina Gas Lens Cup #10 (5/8")

Precision TIG Welding with Extended Reach

The Weldcraft 53N88L Alumina TIG Gas Lens Nozzle is an essential consumable for professional welders seeking superior gas coverage and accessibility in difficult-to-reach joints. Designed as a "Long" variation of the standard gas lens nozzle, this component significantly extends the reach of the tungsten electrode, allowing the welder to maintain a proper arc length even in deep crevices, corners, or complex pipe clusters where a standard cup would be obstructed. The #10 orifice size, measuring 5/8 inch (approximately 15.8 mm), provides a broad umbrella of shielding gas, ensuring that the weld pool remains protected from atmospheric contamination even when the electrode stick-out is increased.

Manufactured from high-grade Alumina ceramic, this nozzle is engineered to withstand the intense thermal cycling inherent in TIG welding. Alumina offers excellent electrical insulation and high impact resistance, reducing the frequency of replacements due to cracking or chipping during use. The material also resists spatter buildup, maintaining a clean gas path for consistent laminar flow. When paired with a compatible gas lens collet body, the 53N88L promotes a coherent gas stream that reduces turbulence, allowing for cleaner welds on sensitive materials like stainless steel, titanium, and aluminum.

This nozzle is specifically designed for use with Large Diameter Gas Lens setups on 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches. It is not compatible with standard collet bodies or standard gas lenses; it requires the specific "Large" gas lens system components. By utilizing this long nozzle, fabricators can tackle intricate jobs in motorsports headers, aerospace manifolds, and sanitary piping with confidence, knowing that their shielding gas coverage is optimized for quality and precision.
