TIG welding consumables designed to improve gas shielding and tungsten control for large gas lens torches, RIVERWELD TIG Ceramic Gas Lens Cups. Welders who value precision and safer hand positioning will welcome the longer nozzle reach and wider tungsten extension. Do these cups suit your torch and workshop needs?
⚡ At a Glance
- • Shielding Quality: Large D16 orifice increases gas coverage around the weld area, helping to maintain a stable shield
- • Best for: TIG welders using large gas lens torches who need extended tungsten stick-out
- • Not ideal for: Small-bore or standard cup setups that require compact nozzles
Alumina ceramic cups with a 16.00mm orifice, size D16 x 48mm, reference 53N88 #10. Supplied as a pack of five, compatible with a range of large gas lens part numbers and torch types.
Wider tungsten reach - thanks to large D16 orifice
The D16 x 48mm aperture, recorded as ref 53N88 #10, offers a larger opening that accommodates longer tungsten stick-out. A bigger orifice makes visible access to the weld pool easier when using gas lens assemblies.
Greater tungsten extension improves joint visibility and access, which helps with tack placement and root runs on tight or awkward joints.
More consistent shielding - with alumina ceramic large-diameter cup
Alumina ceramic cup geometry supports steady gas flow when paired with compatible large gas lens parts, maintaining shielding across the weld zone. Compatibility with specified gas lens assemblies ensures predictable gas coverage.
Stable shielding reduces the chance of porosity and contributes to a cleaner bead appearance, especially when welds require extended stick-out.
Workshop-ready supply - thanks to pack of five and broad compatibility
Pack contains five cups, and compatibility is listed for gas lens numbers 45V0204, 45V0204S, 45V116, 45V116S, 45V64, 45V64S, 995795, 995795S, and 45V63, for use with torch types 9, 17, 18, 20 and 26.
Having multiple spare cups on hand reduces downtime and simplifies changeovers, keeping routine work moving without frequent restocking.
