P15H-45 - Parker P15H-45 Contact Tip .045 Inch (25 Pack)

Precision Performance with Parker P15H-45 Contact Tips

Achieving the perfect weld requires more than just a steady hand; it requires precision consumables that function as an extension of the machine itself. The Parker P15H-45 Contact Tip is designed to deliver that precision for welders utilizing .045" wire with Parker #5 MIG Guns. As the focal point of the welding circuit, the contact tip plays a pivotal role in transferring the welding current to the electrode wire. The P15H-45 excels in this function, providing a consistent electrical connection that is vital for maintaining arc stability and controlling heat input.

The geometry of the P15H-45 is machined to tight tolerances. A precise bore diameter ensures that the .045" wire slides through with minimal friction while maintaining constant electrical contact. This balance is crucial; if a tip is too tight, the wire drags, causing feed issues. If it is too loose, micro-arcing can occur inside the tip, leading to premature failure and erratic welding behavior. Parker's manufacturing process ensures that every tip in this 25-piece pack meets strict quality control standards, giving you confidence in every weld.

Heavy-duty welding environments generate significant radiant heat, which can soften inferior copper tips. The P15H-45 is built to withstand the thermal cycles associated with the higher amperage ratings of #5 MIG guns. This thermal resilience prevents the tip from fusing to the wire during burn-back situations and maintains the structural integrity of the threaded end, ensuring it remains easy to remove and replace when necessary.

Technical Advantages

• Enhanced Arc Stability: Uniform contact surfaces reduce voltage fluctuations, resulting in a smoother, more controllable puddle.
• Reduced Micro-Arcing: Tight tolerance machining minimizes internal arcing, prolonging the life of the tip.
• Heavy-Duty Rating: Suitable for the high-heat environments often found in structural and industrial MIG welding.

For welders who demand consistency and reliability, the Parker P15H-45 is the standard for .045" wire applications. Replace your tips regularly to maintain the highest quality weld characteristics and keep your Parker MIG gun operating like new.
