Value Collection 315080018 Tig Torch Nozzle 16mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315080018 is a TIG torch nozzle designed to direct and focus the shielding gas flow around the tungsten electrode during gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) operations. The nozzle features a 16.00 mm (5/8 inch) orifice opening, corresponding to a Size 10 designation in standard TIG consumable sizing. It fits torch models 9 and 20, two of the most widely used air-cooled TIG torch bodies in the trade. Welding professionals and maintenance technicians install this nozzle as a direct replacement when the original becomes cracked, chipped, or contaminated from heat cycling and spatter exposure.

This nozzle is suited for light to medium amperage TIG welding applications across industries including HVAC fabrication, plumbing, and general sheet metal work. The Size 10 orifice supports adequate shielding gas coverage for work on stainless steel, aluminum, and mild steel in both shop and field environments. Its compatibility with the widely distributed Torch 9 and Torch 20 bodies makes it a practical stock item for welding supply inventories and field service kits.

Key Features

• 16.00 mm (5/8 inch) orifice diameter — Size 10 standard TIG nozzle designation
• Compatible with Torch 9 and Torch 20 air-cooled TIG torch bodies
• Lightweight construction at 0.1 pounds for minimal torch head weight addition
• Direct replacement consumable — no modification required for compatible torches
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replenishment

Compatibility

Designed for use with Torch 9 and Torch 20 TIG torch bodies. Fits standard Size 10 nozzle seat configurations on those torch models.

Installation Notes

TIG torch nozzles are installed and serviced by qualified welders or welding maintenance personnel. Before replacing the nozzle, disconnect the torch from the power source and allow the torch body to cool completely. Thread or seat the nozzle onto the torch body by hand to avoid cross-threading, then snug only — over-tightening ceramic or glass nozzles will cause cracking. Verify shielding gas flow and check for leaks at the torch body connection before resuming welding operations.
