37283 - ESAB ST Series Contact Tip 1/16" (5-Pack)

Keep Your Arc Smooth and Stable

Every welder knows that the contact tip is the unsung hero of the MIG gun. It takes the heat, transfers the power, and guides the wire. When you are running heavy 1/16-inch wire—whether it's solid wire for heavy plate or flux-cored for structural work—your contact tip takes a beating. The ESAB 37283 Contact Tube is built to handle that punishment. Designed specifically for the classic ST-series guns, these tips are made from durable copper that resists overheating and melting, giving you more arc time and less downtime.

Nothing ruins a good bead faster than a worn-out tip. If you are experiencing an erratic arc, stuttering wire feed, or burnback, your contact tube is often the culprit. As the wire wears a groove into the tip, you lose that crisp electrical connection, leading to a wandering arc. This 5-pack ensures you always have a fresh tip ready to go in your toolbox. Swapping out a worn tip is the cheapest and fastest way to fix many common welding problems, instantly restoring the smooth, frying-bacon sound of a perfect weld.

These tips are machined for a perfect fit with 1/16" wire, ensuring the wire slides through smoothly while maintaining solid electrical contact. Don't let a cheap or worn-out consumable compromise your work. Stick with genuine ESAB parts for your ST gun to ensure everything threads in correctly and performs exactly as it should. Whether you are welding in the shop or out in the field, these contact tubes deliver the reliability you need to get the job done right.
