105Z45 - Weldcraft 105Z45 Lava Nozzle #7 (10-Pack)

High-Performance TIG Consumables for Industrial Applications

The Weldcraft 105Z45 Lava Nozzle is a premium consumable designed for professional TIG welding operations requiring enhanced durability and thermal resistance. Manufactured by Miller Weldcraft, a leader in TIG torch technology, this nozzle is engineered to withstand conditions that typically compromise standard alumina oxide cups. The 105Z45 is a size #7 nozzle, featuring a 7/16-inch (approximately 11mm) orifice, which provides optimal gas coverage for medium-gauge welding applications across various materials.

The primary distinction of this nozzle lies in its material composition. "Lava" nozzles are machined from a specialized ceramic material that exhibits exceptional resistance to thermal shock. In industrial environments where welding torches are subjected to rapid heating and cooling cycles, or where high amperage is sustained for long durations, standard ceramic cups often fracture or crack. The Lava material mitigates this risk, ensuring a longer service life and maintaining consistent shielding gas flow. This specific model is compatible with the industry-standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, making it a versatile addition to any inventory of welding supplies.

Procurement of the 105Z45 in 10-packs offers operational efficiency for fabrication shops and manufacturing facilities. By reducing the frequency of consumable replacement, operators can maintain higher uptime and throughput. The nozzle's design is particularly effective in confined areas where heat is reflected back toward the torch front end; in such scenarios, the superior thermal properties of the Lava material prevent premature failure, protecting both the weld quality and the torch components.

Technical Specifications

This product adheres to strict manufacturing tolerances to ensure a secure fit on the torch body or collet body. The threaded connection is designed to seat firmly, preventing gas leakage and atmospheric contamination of the weld pool. As a genuine Weldcraft component, users are assured of consistent quality and performance that aligns with the specifications of their Miller or Weldcraft TIG torch systems.
