57N74XL - Weldcraft 57N74XL #8 Extra Long Alumina Gas Lens Cup

Premium TIG Welding Consumables for Precision Work

The Weldcraft 57N74XL Alumina Gas Lens Nozzle is an essential accessory for professional fabricators and industrial welders who demand precision and versatility. Designed to fit the industry-standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, this nozzle is engineered to solve one of the most common challenges in welding: accessing tight, confined spaces without compromising weld quality. When working on complex assemblies, manifolds, or roll cages, standard-length nozzles often obstruct the welder's view or simply cannot reach the root of the joint. The 57N74XL features an extra-long body that extends the tungsten electrode's reach, providing the clearance needed to execute flawless welds in difficult positions.

Manufactured from high-quality alumina ceramic, this nozzle offers exceptional durability in industrial environments. Alumina is chosen for its high impact resistance and ability to withstand rapid thermal cycling. This means the nozzle resists cracking even when subjected to the intense heat of high-amperage TIG arcs and the subsequent cooling phases. For maintenance and repair operations (MRO), having a reliable ceramic cup that doesn't fail prematurely reduces downtime and consumable costs. The #8 size (1/2-inch bore) is a versatile choice, offering a balance of gas coverage suitable for a wide range of materials, including stainless steel and mild steel.

At Josef Gas, we understand that the quality of your consumables directly impacts the quality of your finished product. This genuine Weldcraft component ensures a perfect fit with your existing gas lens setup, preventing gas leakage and turbulence that can lead to porosity. Whether you are welding in a production line or performing critical repairs in the field, the Weldcraft 57N74XL provides the reliability and performance professionals trust. It is compatible with large gas lens collet bodies, ensuring a laminar gas flow that further enhances weld pool visibility and protection.

Key Benefits for Industrial Users:
