Furick Cup – Large Diameter Pyrex/Ceramic Welding Cups (Furick Starter Kit 9/20 Torch)

Description

Furick Cup – Large Diameter Pyrex/Ceramic Welding Cups (Furick Starter Kit 9/20 Torch)

Product Overview

I built this product description because I want you to feel confident choosing the Furick Starter Kit 9/20 Torch with the Furick Cup set. I use these tools myself when I need reliable, consistent gas shielding and a comfortable setup for TIG welding. The kit centers around large diameter Pyrex and ceramic welding cups designed by Furick, paired with gas lenses, screens, and tips so you have everything necessary to get seat time and lay down smooth, controlled beads.

This kit is ideal for hobbyists, fabricators, technicians, and anyone learning TIG welding who wants a package that reduces the number of separate purchases and gets them welding fast. I’ll explain what’s included, why the Furick Cup matters, technical specs, how I use the kit, maintenance tips, and answers to common questions.

What’s Included in the Furick Starter Kit 9/20 Torch

I like that this kit is assembled to minimize downtime and confusion. Inside the package you’ll find:

• One BBW Pyrex Cup (large diameter) for superior visibility and heat resistance
• Multiple ceramic cups in different sizes for varied shielding needs
• Gas lenses to improve gas flow stability and coverage
• Screens for spatter protection and consistent gas diffusion
• A selection of tungsten tips for common welding profiles and materials
• Accessories to fit the 9/20 torch standard

This combination means I can swap cups and tips quickly based on the project without searching through dozens of separate parts.

Key Features

I rely on these features when I’m welding:

• Large diameter Pyrex cup: enhanced visibility and thermal shock resistance so I can see the puddle without sacrificing cup longevity.
• Ceramic cups: durable, heat-resistant profiles that resist cracking and provide stable shielding.
• Gas lenses: improved laminar flow that reduces turbulence and increases shielding efficiency, especially at lower gas flows.
• Screens: help reduce spatter buildup at the cup entrance, prolonging cup life and reducing maintenance.
• Compatibility with 9/20 torch: fits standard configurations so installation is straightforward.
• Variety of tungsten tips: lets me match electrode geometry to the metal and amperage for better arc control.

Benefits I Get from Using This Kit

When I use the Furick Cup kit, I notice multiple practical advantages:

• Better arc visibility due to the Pyrex cup, which lets me control bead placement with more confidence.
• Improved gas coverage from gas lenses, leading to fewer porosity issues and cleaner welds.
• Faster setup for different tasks because the kit contains most of the components I need.
• Reduced spatter accumulation thanks to screens, which saves me time on cleaning and maintenance.
• Versatility across materials and positions because I can change cups, tips, and lenses to match work requirements.
• Cost-effectiveness for beginners: instead of buying individual cups and accessories, I receive a ready-to-use set.

Product Specifications

Below is a clear breakdown of the kit’s technical specifications so I and you can confirm compatibility with your torch and welding goals.

How I Use the Furick Cup Kit

I follow a few simple steps to get reliable welds every time:

1. Match the cup size to the joint and weld position. For wide joints or where I need extra visibility, I choose the BBW Pyrex cup.
2. Install the gas lens suited to the cup and electrode; the gas lens threads into the torch back cap and supports better gas flow.
3. Insert the tungsten tip that suits the metal and amperage—sharp point for thin metals, balled or truncated for aluminum.
4. Place the screen if I expect significant spatter; it sits at the cup entrance and traps spatters before they reach the cup interior.
5. Dial in gas flow rates and check coverage by watching the arc and puddle; adjust cup standoff to maintain a laminar shield without sucking in ambient air.

Tips for Best Results

I’ve refined a few habits that consistently improve my welds:

• Keep cup standoff consistent. Changes in distance alter shielding effectiveness.
• Replace screens regularly if they show spatter buildup to avoid obstructing gas flow.
• Inspect Pyrex cup for chips or cracks before welding; a small flaw can worsen under thermal stress.
• Use the right tungsten geometry. Different metals and currents demand specific tip shapes.
• Clean cups after every session with a soft brush to remove contaminants without scratching surfaces.

Compatibility and Fitment

I confirm fitment before buying: this kit is designed for the 9/20 torch standard, which is common in many TIG setups. If you have a different torch model, I recommend checking thread specs or contacting me so I can help verify compatibility. The included accessories are balanced to work together, but I always verify the torch back cap thread and collet body size before starting a session.

Care and Maintenance

I treat these components gently and follow simple care steps:

• Store cups in a padded case to prevent chips and cracks.
• Avoid dropping ceramic cups; even durable ceramics can fracture under impact.
• Clean Pyrex with non-abrasive cleaners and inspect for micro-cracks.
• Replace gas lens O-rings if they show wear to avoid gas leaks.
• Periodically check tip sharpness and regrind or replace tungsten as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this kit work with my 9/20 torch? A: Yes, the kit is preconfigured for 9/20 torch standards. If you’re unsure about your torch type, I can help you confirm thread sizes.

Q: Can I use the Pyrex cup on aluminum welding? A: You can. Pyrex is thermally resilient and provides better visibility. For aluminum, pair the Pyrex cup with a gas lens and appropriate tungsten tip for best results.

Q: How often do I need to replace the screens? A: Replace screens once they accumulate visible spatter or begin restricting gas flow. Frequency depends on how much spatter your welding produces.

Q: Are replacement parts available? A: Yes. I can point you to compatible replacement cups, tips, gas lenses, and screens if you need spares or upgrades.

Warranty and Shipping

I check each kit before sending it out to ensure it meets quality expectations. The product is supplied by Furick and their standard warranty applies to manufacturing defects. I recommend reviewing the warranty details at purchase and inspecting the kit upon arrival. Shipping options include tracked and insured methods to protect the package during transit.

Why I Recommend the Furick Starter Kit 9/20 Torch

I recommend this kit because it balances durability, visibility, and functionality in a single box. It saves me time and money by bundling commonly used components that I would otherwise buy separately. The large diameter Pyrex cup makes a noticeable difference in visibility and comfort, while the ceramic cups and gas lenses improve shielding consistency. Whether I’m practicing beads, repairing metal, or tackling light fabrication, I value having these components at hand.

If you want a practical, ready-to-use system for TIG welding that reduces setup time and gives me predictable results, this Furick Cup kit is a strong choice. I’m happy to answer any additional questions about fitment, technique, or parts so you can get welding with confidence.
