BBWSG19#16 - Furick BBW #16 Clear TIG Cup Kit with Diffuser and O-Ring

Superior Gas Coverage for Critical TIG Applications

The Furick BBW #16 Glass Cup is a premium TIG welding consumable designed for fabricators who demand the highest level of precision and weld quality. Engineered from heat-resistant borosilicate glass, this cup offers a crystal-clear view of the arc and weld puddle, eliminating the blind spots common with traditional ceramic nozzles. This visibility is crucial when welding in tight spaces or when precise manipulation of the puddle is required for cosmetic welds.

At the heart of the BBW #16's performance is its advanced diffuser system. Unlike standard collet bodies, the Furick diffuser generates a highly stable, laminar flow of shielding gas. This smooth column of argon effectively displaces atmospheric contaminants, providing a wide umbrella of protection. This is particularly important when welding reactive metals such as Titanium, Inconel, and 300-series Stainless Steel, where even minor turbulence can lead to oxidation, discoloration, or porosity. The #16 bore size (1 inch) allows for a larger tungsten stick-out, giving the welder better access to difficult joints without compromising gas coverage.

This kit comes complete with the glass cup, the proprietary diffuser screen, and a mounting O-ring, ensuring you have everything needed to upgrade your torch setup. It is compatible with standard gas lens setups (typically requiring a 3/32" or 2.4mm gas lens) and fits 9/20 series torches directly, or 17/18/26 series torches with the appropriate adapter kit. Due to the nature of glass, this cup is recommended for DC applications and is rated for up to 180 amps. It is an indispensable tool for aerospace, motorsports, and sanitary welding applications where weld integrity and aesthetics are paramount.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Enhanced Visibility: The transparent body allows for real-time monitoring of the electrode and fusion zone.
• Laminar Flow Technology: Reduces turbulence for superior shielding efficiency.
• Extended Reach: Allows for longer tungsten stick-out to access recessed joints.
• Oxidation Control: Minimizes heat tint and discoloration on stainless steel and titanium.
