Ticon Furick BBW #16 Pyrex Cup BBWSG19 – Brass Chassis, No Cover

Overview

The Furick Cup BBW single 16 is the largest Pyrex cup in the lineup, featuring a brass chassis and a no cover design. This DC polarity cup is designed to pair with 3/32 in (2.4 mm) tungsten and an argon flow around 30 CFH. Built for bigger, thicker, and rounder welds, it helps spread heat more broadly across the joint while maintaining control.

Key specs at a glance

• Inside diameter 1.060 in / 26.7 mm with a patented diffuser
• Uses 3/32 in (2.4 mm) tungsten
• Amperage rating listed as 180 A in the features, with the description noting up to 200 A in some setups
• Argon flow around 30 CFH and DC polarity
• Includes 1 full cup, spare gas lens diffuser, and o-rings for mounting

Compatibility and setup

For mounting and kit compatibility, the guidance is clear: use a Furick #17 torch kit with #17, #18, or #26 torches. If you are using a #9 or #20 torch, you will need a 45V44 gas lens. Do not rely on imported brands for peak results.

Real-world use and benefits

• Great for stainless steel, titanium, and Inconel when thicker sections require broader heat coverage
• Best suited for larger, heavier welds where even heat distribution helps reduce hot spots
• The diffuser aids in arc stability; starting at lower amps helps prevent diffuser arcing

Handling and maintenance tips

• Handle the glass diffuser with care to avoid damage to the structure
• If arc wandering occurs, consider regrinding the tungsten to restore a clean arc

Note that this cup is optimized for specific applications and operating parameters. As with any high-performance accessory, results can vary with setup and technique; experimentation within advised limits is encouraged.
