Value Collection 315080038 Tig Torch Nozzle 12.50 Mm

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 315080038 is a TIG torch nozzle designed to direct shielding gas flow at the weld zone during gas tungsten arc welding operations. Machined to an orifice size of 1/2 inch (12.50 mm), this Size 8 nozzle fits the widely used Torch 17, 18, and 26 series. It provides consistent gas coverage over the tungsten electrode and weld puddle, helping maintain arc stability and weld quality. Welding professionals and fabricators install this nozzle as a routine consumable replacement during TIG setup or after nozzle wear or damage.

This nozzle is suited for TIG welding applications across light fabrication, pipe welding, sheet metal work, and general repair where Torch 17, 18, or 26 bodies are in use. It is appropriate for both shop and field use wherever gas tungsten arc welding is performed on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The Size 8 designation corresponds to an orifice diameter of 12.50 mm, which is a common choice for moderate amperage work requiring adequate shielding gas coverage.

Key Features

• 1/2 inch (12.50 mm) orifice diameter — Size 8 designation
• Compatible with Torch 17, 18, and 26 series TIG torch bodies
• Consumable nozzle for routine replacement during TIG welding maintenance
• Directs shielding gas flow to protect the tungsten electrode and weld puddle
• Lightweight at 0.1 pounds — easy to carry as a spare in a welding kit

Compatibility

Designed for use with Torch 17, Torch 18, and Torch 26 series TIG torch bodies.

Installation Notes

TIG torch nozzles are installed and replaced by welders or welding maintenance personnel. Before replacing the nozzle, shut off the shielding gas supply and allow the torch to cool completely. Thread or press the nozzle onto the torch body according to the torch manufacturer's assembly instructions. Inspect the collet body and back cap for wear while the nozzle is removed.
