OVERVIEW

Comprehensive TIG Torch Upgrade Kit

The Furick Cup 3 Series Starter Kit (FU17-SK) is the definitive accessory package for welders utilizing 17, 18, or 26 series TIG torches. Designed to provide a complete solution for gas coverage and arc stability, this kit replaces standard torch consumables with high-performance components engineered for precision welding. Whether you are working with AC or DC processes, this kit equips your torch with the versatility needed to handle a wide range of materials and joint configurations.

Superior Gas Coverage and Visibility

At the heart of this kit is a selection of Furick's most renowned cups, including both ceramic and glass variations. The inclusion of glass nozzles, such as the Fupa #12 and BBW #19, offers welders unparalleled visibility of the weld pool, which is critical for intricate work and tight spaces. The kit also features standard ceramic cups for applications where durability and impact resistance are paramount. Ranging from a compact #5 nozzle to the extra-large #19, users have the flexibility to select the optimal cup size for their specific gas coverage requirements.

High-Performance Internal Components

Beyond the cups, the FU17-SK kit upgrades the internal mechanics of the torch. It includes a set of gas lenses for 1/16", 3/32", and 1/8" tungsten electrodes. Gas lenses are essential for creating a laminar flow of shielding gas, reducing turbulence and minimizing the risk of atmospheric contamination. To complement the gas lenses, the kit provides wedge collets, which offer a more secure grip on the tungsten compared to standard split collets, reducing twisting and improving electrical contact.

Compatibility and Installation

This starter kit is designed as a "one-stop-shop" for 3-Series torches (17, 18, 26). It includes all necessary mounting hardware, such as stubby collet bodies, a torch insulator, and a full set of replacement O-rings. Installation tools and spare diffusers are also provided to ensure easy maintenance. Please note that for welders using CK Worldwide torches, an additional insulator (part #17ICK) is required for proper fitment.

FAQ

This kit is designed for 3-Series TIG torches, which includes WP-17, WP-18, and WP-26 models.

Yes, it fits CK 17/18/26 torches, but you must purchase an additional insulator (Part # 17ICK) for proper fitment.

Glass cups provide superior visibility of the weld puddle, ideal for precision work. Ceramic cups are more durable and better suited for high-amperage walking the cup or rougher environments.

No, tungsten is not included in the kit and must be purchased separately. We recommend a combo pack to match the 1/16, 3/32, and 1/8 inch collets included.

Wedge collets use a mechanical wedge action to grip the tungsten, preventing the twisting and deformation common with standard split collets, ensuring better contact and longevity.

Yes, the BBW #19 and other cups in this kit are suitable for both AC and DC welding applications.

Larger cups like the BBW #19 typically require higher gas flow rates (often 25-35 CFH) to ensure adequate coverage due to the large diffuser screen.

The kit includes 10 replacement O-rings specifically designed to fit the Furick mounting system used in this kit.
