The Weldcraft 796F76 is a specialized TIG welding nozzle designed to address specific challenges in precision fabrication and industrial maintenance. Classified as a #5 nozzle, it features a 5/16-inch (approximately 8mm) orifice diameter, which is suitable for standard gas flow requirements in light to medium amperage applications. The defining characteristic of this consumable is its "Extra Long" geometry. By extending the distance between the torch head and the workpiece, this nozzle allows the tungsten electrode to reach into deep crevices, narrow angles, and obstructed areas that standard length nozzles cannot access.
Material composition is a critical factor in the performance of the 796F76. Unlike standard alumina cups, this nozzle is manufactured from Lava, a natural ceramic material known for its excellent thermal shock resistance and electrical insulating properties. Lava is particularly effective in environments where excessive heat is reflected back towards the torch, a common occurrence when welding in confined spaces or corners. This material choice ensures that the nozzle maintains its structural integrity and does not crack or degrade prematurely under thermal stress.
Compatibility is broad within the small-body torch category. The 796F76 is engineered to fit the 9, 20, 22, and 25 series TIG torches. This includes the air-cooled WP-9 and the water-cooled WP-20, which are industry standards for precision TIG welding. The nozzle threads directly onto the standard collet body or gas lens assembly (depending on the specific torch setup, though typically used with standard collet bodies for this specific part number). This product is supplied in a package of 10, ensuring that professional fabricators have an adequate supply for production runs or ongoing maintenance tasks.
In summary, the Weldcraft 796F76 combines specific geometric advantages with robust material properties. It is an essential consumable for TIG operators who frequently encounter restricted access joints and require a nozzle that can withstand the rigorous thermal demands of confined space welding.
