OVERVIEW

Weldcraft 54N18 Alumina Gas Lens Nozzle #4 (10-Pack)

The Weldcraft 54N18 Alumina Gas Lens Nozzle is a premium consumable designed for professional TIG welding applications. This #4 size nozzle, featuring a 1/4-inch (6.4mm) orifice, is engineered to work specifically with gas lens collet bodies on 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches. Manufactured from high-grade alumina ceramic, these nozzles offer exceptional resistance to thermal shock and impact, ensuring they hold up under the rigorous conditions of industrial welding environments.

One of the primary advantages of using the 54N18 gas lens nozzle is the improvement in shielding gas coverage. When paired with a gas lens, this nozzle helps produce a laminar flow of argon, which is significantly more stable than the turbulent flow created by standard collet bodies. This stability allows the welder to extend the tungsten electrode further past the cup—often up to an inch or more—without compromising the integrity of the shield. This feature is particularly beneficial when welding in tight corners, deep grooves, or complex geometries where visibility is limited.

The 54N18 is a standard length nozzle that fits seamlessly into existing TIG setups for the popular 17 (air-cooled), 18 (water-cooled), and 26 (air-cooled) torch series. The alumina material not only resists heat but also minimizes the adherence of weld splatter, making post-weld cleanup easier and extending the life of the consumable. This package contains 10 genuine Weldcraft nozzles, ensuring that your shop is well-stocked for continuous production or maintenance tasks.

Whether you are fabricating stainless steel exhaust systems, repairing aluminum components, or performing general mild steel welding, the Weldcraft 54N18 provides the reliability and performance required for high-quality X-ray quality welds. Trust in the durability of genuine Weldcraft parts to maintain consistent arc stability and gas protection.

FAQ

The 54N18 nozzle fits 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torches, including both air-cooled and water-cooled models.

This is a gas lens nozzle. It is designed to be used with a gas lens collet body, not a standard collet body.

The #4 nozzle has an orifice diameter of 1/4 inch (approximately 6.4mm).

It is made from high-impact alumina ceramic, which offers excellent heat resistance and durability.

This product is sold as a package of 10 nozzles.

Gas lens nozzles provide better shielding gas coverage through laminar flow, allowing you to extend the tungsten further for better visibility and access to tight joints.

Yes, the 54N18 is suitable for AC TIG welding of aluminum as well as DC welding of steel and stainless steel.

Yes, you typically need the appropriate gas lens insulator (often 54N01) to ensure a proper seal and fitment with the torch body.
