OVERVIEW

High-Performance Heat Resistance with Weldcraft Lava Nozzles

The Weldcraft 105Z44 Lava Nozzle is a premium TIG welding consumable designed to address the challenges of high-heat applications and confined space welding. Sold in a convenient pack of 10, these nozzles are an essential inventory item for professional fabricators and industrial welding operations. The nozzle features a #6 orifice size (3/8 inch), providing a balanced shielding gas flow suitable for a wide range of amperage settings and joint configurations.

What sets the 105Z44 apart is its construction material. Unlike standard pink alumina oxide nozzles, which are prone to thermal shock and cracking when subjected to rapid temperature changes or reflected heat, these nozzles are manufactured from lava. This material exhibits superior thermal properties, allowing it to withstand the intense conditions found when welding in corners, tight angles, or deep grooves where arc heat is reflected directly back at the torch front end. This durability translates directly to cost savings by reducing the frequency of consumable replacements.

Compatibility is a key feature of the 105Z44. It is designed to fit the industry-standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, making it a versatile choice for shops that utilize air-cooled and water-cooled torches from various manufacturers. Whether you are using a heavy-duty water-cooled 18 series torch for thick plate aluminum or a standard air-cooled 17 series for general fabrication, this nozzle ensures a secure fit and reliable gas coverage. The 10-pack packaging ensures that operators have a ready supply of replacements, minimizing downtime during critical production runs.

For industrial MRO environments, the reliability of consumables is paramount. The Weldcraft 105Z44 delivers consistent performance, ensuring that shielding gas turbulence is minimized and weld quality is maintained. By investing in lava nozzles for specific high-heat applications, businesses can optimize their welding processes and reduce the frustration associated with brittle ceramic cups.

FAQ

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

The 105Z44 fits standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, including both air-cooled and water-cooled models.

The #6 indicates the size of the nozzle orifice in 16ths of an inch. A #6 nozzle has a 6/16" or 3/8" diameter opening.

This product is a package of 10 Weldcraft 105Z44 lava nozzles.

Yes, lava nozzles are durable and often used for walking the cup, particularly in pipe welding applications where heat buildup is significant.

Yes, this is a genuine Weldcraft product, now a brand under Miller Electric.

You typically use the standard insulator required for your specific torch body (17, 18, or 26 series) when using standard collet bodies.
