0417959880 - ESAB A6 Submerged Arc Contact Tube 220mm x 4.0mm

Reliable Current Transfer for Heavy Sub-Arc Welds

When you are running a sub-arc beam or tank line, the last thing you need is a wandering arc or burn-back caused by a worn contact tip. The ESAB 0417959880 Contact Tube is built to handle the heat and heavy wire feed speeds of the ESAB A6 system. Designed for 4.0mm wire, this tube provides the solid electrical connection necessary to lay down consistent, defect-free beads in thick plate applications.

At 220mm long, this tube does more than just energize the wire; it helps straighten it out before it hits the flux. This is especially important when you are pulling thick wire that has taken a 'set' from the spool. A straighter wire means better targeting in the joint and a more consistent stick-out, which translates to a stable voltage and a smooth weld profile. The heavy copper construction resists the intense heat generated during long, continuous welds, giving you a longer service life between change-outs.

Don't compromise your automated setup with generic consumables that might not match the bore tolerances of your wire. This genuine ESAB part ensures that your A2 or A6 head operates exactly as intended. Whether you are welding pipe, wind towers, or bridge girders, keeping a fresh contact tube in your machine is the cheapest insurance for weld quality. The standard M12 thread makes swapping it out quick and easy, getting you back to welding in minutes.
