10N48 - Alumina TIG Welding Cup Size #6 (3/8") for 17/18/26 Torches

Reliable Generic 10N48 Alumina Nozzle for TIG Welding

Optimize your TIG welding setup with the Generic 10N48 Alumina Nozzle, a high-quality replacement cup designed for durability and precision. This size #6 nozzle features a 3/8-inch (9.5mm) orifice, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of welding applications where moderate gas coverage and accessibility are required. Manufactured from premium alumina ceramic, this nozzle is engineered to withstand the intense thermal cycles associated with TIG welding, resisting cracking and heat damage during prolonged use.

Universal Compatibility

One of the key benefits of the 10N48 nozzle is its broad compatibility. It is designed to fit all standard 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, including air-cooled and water-cooled models from major brands like Weldcraft, Miller, Lincoln, and CK Worldwide. Whether you are using a WP-17, WP-18, or WP-26 torch, this nozzle threads perfectly onto standard collet bodies, ensuring a tight seal and consistent gas flow.

Performance and Durability

The alumina material provides exceptional electrical insulation and high impact resistance compared to standard lava cups. It effectively directs the shielding gas—typically Argon or Helium—around the tungsten electrode and the weld pool, protecting the molten metal from atmospheric contamination. The smooth surface finish also helps minimize spatter adhesion, making post-weld cleanup easier and extending the lifespan of the cup. This makes it a reliable choice for welding mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum in various industrial and hobbyist environments.

Cost-Effective Solution

As a generic equivalent to the Weldcraft 10N48 or CK 3A6, this product offers professional-grade performance at a fraction of the cost. It is an essential consumable for any welder's kit, ensuring you have the right parts on hand to maintain arc stability and weld quality. Sold typically in packs, these nozzles ensure you are prepared for any job that requires a standard #6 cup setup.
