0157121039 - ESAB 53N61 Alumina Gas Lens Cup Size 8 (1/2")

ESAB 53N61 Gas Lens Nozzle - Size #8 (1/2")

The ESAB 53N61 Gas Lens Nozzle is a premium TIG welding consumable designed to elevate the performance of your WP-9, WP-20, or WP-25 series torch. This Size #8 cup features a 1/2-inch (12.7mm) orifice, making it an excellent choice for general-purpose TIG welding where robust gas coverage is required. Manufactured from high-quality alumina ceramic, this nozzle is engineered to withstand the intense thermal cycles of welding without cracking or degrading prematurely.

This nozzle is specifically designed to interface with gas lens collet bodies. Unlike standard collet bodies that can create turbulent gas flow, a gas lens system organizes the shielding gas into a coherent, laminar stream. This laminar flow is critical for achieving high-quality welds on sensitive materials like stainless steel and titanium, as it minimizes the risk of atmospheric contamination. The 53N61, when paired with the correct gas lens, allows the operator to extend the tungsten electrode significantly further past the cup edge—often up to an inch in draft-free conditions—providing unparalleled visibility of the weld puddle and access to difficult-to-reach joints.

Professional fabricators rely on ESAB consumables for their consistency and durability. Whether you are working in aerospace, motorsports, or general precision fabrication, upgrading to a gas lens setup with the 53N61 nozzle ensures your shielding gas is working as efficiently as possible. This nozzle is a direct replacement for standard industry part number 53N61 and integrates seamlessly into your existing 9/20 series consumable kit.

Key Benefits
