OVERVIEW

High-Performance Weldcraft Lava TIG Nozzles for Industrial Applications

The Weldcraft 13N14 Lava TIG Nozzle is a premium consumable designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional welding environments. Unlike standard alumina oxide cups, these nozzles are manufactured from lava, a specialized ceramic material known for its exceptional thermal properties. This material choice makes the 13N14 particularly suited for applications involving high amperage or prolonged welding cycles where heat buildup is a significant concern. The nozzle features a #4 size orifice, measuring 1/4 inch in diameter, which provides a focused stream of shielding gas, essential for maintaining arc stability and protecting the weld pool from atmospheric contamination.

One of the primary challenges in TIG welding, particularly in confined spaces or when welding reflective alloys, is the intense heat that is reflected back toward the torch front end. Standard ceramic cups can become brittle and crack under these conditions due to thermal shock. The Weldcraft Lava Nozzle addresses this issue with its superior durability and resistance to cracking. By withstanding higher temperatures and rapid temperature changes, these nozzles reduce the frequency of replacements, thereby lowering operational costs and minimizing downtime for maintenance. This durability makes them an excellent choice for industries such as aerospace, petrochemical, and power generation where reliability is paramount.

Designed for compatibility, the 13N14 nozzle fits all standard 9 Series (air-cooled) and 20 Series (water-cooled) TIG torches. This universal fitment ensures that fabrication shops with diverse equipment can standardize their consumables inventory. Whether you are performing precision work on thin-gauge stainless steel or robust structural welding, the consistent performance of Weldcraft's genuine parts ensures that your gas coverage remains optimal. Each pack contains 10 nozzles, providing a cost-effective solution for busy workshops that require a steady supply of reliable consumables.

Investing in high-quality consumables like the Weldcraft Lava TIG Nozzle is a strategic decision for any welding operation. The improved longevity of the lava material translates directly to improved productivity. Welders can focus on the task at hand without the frustration of frequent equipment failures. Furthermore, the precise manufacturing tolerances of Weldcraft products ensure a secure thread fit onto the collet body, preventing gas leaks that could compromise weld quality. Choose the 13N14 for a robust, heat-resistant solution that stands up to the toughest industrial welding challenges.

FAQ

Lava nozzles are made from a mined ceramic material that offers superior resistance to thermal shock and cracking compared to standard alumina (pink) nozzles, making them better for high-heat or confined applications.

The 13N14 nozzle is compatible with 9 Series (air-cooled) and 20 Series (water-cooled) TIG torches.

It is a size #4 nozzle, which means it has an orifice diameter of 1/4 inch (approximately 6.4mm).

These nozzles are sold in a package of 10.

Yes, this nozzle is suitable for TIG welding on all materials, including aluminum, provided the size #4 cup provides adequate gas coverage for your specific joint.

No, this nozzle fits standard collet bodies for 9 and 20 series torches. It does not require a gas lens adapter unless you are using a specific gas lens setup that calls for it (though 13N series are typically standard cups).

A smaller cup size like the #4 is excellent for reaching into tight corners, welding in confined spaces, or working on smaller, delicate parts where visibility and access are critical.

Yes, this is a genuine Weldcraft product, ensuring high manufacturing standards and consistent fitment.
