36885 - ESAB 0.035 Aluminum Contact Tip Notched Style (Pack of 5)

Smooth Feeding for Aluminum MIG Welding

If you are welding aluminum, you know that feeding the wire is half the battle. The ESAB 36885 Contact Tip is built to help you win that battle. Designed specifically for 0.035-inch aluminum wire, these tips aren't just standard copper tubes; they are engineered with slightly larger clearance to handle the way aluminum expands when it gets hot. If you've ever had your wire seize up in the tip right in the middle of a bead, you know why this matters. These tips give the wire the room it needs to flow smoothly while still maintaining the tight electrical contact required for a crisp, stable arc.

These tips feature the classic "notched" base style, making them a perfect fit for many ESAB, Linde, and L-Tec MIG guns. The notch isn't just for looks—it locks the tip into place, ensuring it doesn't twist loose while you're maneuvering around a workpiece. This secure fit guarantees that the current transfers efficiently from the gun to the wire, giving you the heat control you need for critical aluminum welds. Whether you are repairing a boat hull, fabricating a tank, or working on custom automotive parts, these tips help eliminate the frustration of burn-backs and erratic feeding.

Aluminum wire is soft, and it hates friction. A rough contact tip can shave the wire, clogging up your liner and ruining your day. ESAB manufactures these tips with a smooth internal bore to let the wire glide through without snagging. This means less bird-nesting at the drive rolls and more time actually welding. We know that when you're in the zone, the last thing you want to do is stop to change a tip, but when you do need to, this convenient 5-pack ensures you have a fresh one ready to go.

Don't settle for generic tips that "might" fit. Use the tips designed for the job. The ESAB 36885 offers the durability and precision professional welders expect. Keep a pack in your toolbox so you're never caught off guard when a job comes in. Better conductivity, smoother feeding, and a perfect fit for your ESAB gear—that's what these tips deliver.
