OVERVIEW

Maximize Performance with Lincoln KP16S-18 Contact Tips

When you are pushing 600 amps and laying down heavy beads, you need a contact tip that can take the heat. The Lincoln Electric KP16S-18 is built for the professional welder who demands reliability and endurance. Sized for 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) wire, this heavy-duty tip is the workhorse of the Magnum® line, delivering superior arc stability for your toughest jobs. Whether you are running self-shielded flux-cored wire on a structural beam or submerged arc in a shop, these tips ensure the power gets to the wire efficiently.

Burn-back and keyholing are the enemies of productivity. Lincoln Electric engineers these tips with high-grade copper to resist the extreme heat generated by high-amperage welding. The result is a tip that lasts longer, maintains its shape, and feeds wire smoothly without snagging. A smooth feed means a consistent arc, less spatter, and a better-looking weld. Don't let a cheap consumable compromise your weld quality; trust the brand that powers the industry.

This package contains 10 genuine Lincoln Electric contact tips, giving you the backup you need to keep the arc on. They are easy to install and fit securely into compatible Lincoln guns, ensuring excellent electrical contact every time. Upgrade your consumables setup with the KP16S-18 and experience the difference that precision engineering makes in your daily welding operations. Perfect for heavy fabrication, pipe welding, and any application requiring large diameter wires and high heat input.

FAQ

The KP16S-18 is designed for use with 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) welding wire.

This contact tip is rated for heavy-duty applications up to 600 Amps.

The package contains 10 individual contact tips.

No, this is a heavy-duty tip for large diameter wires (1/8") typically used in Innershield or Sub-Arc guns, not standard MIG guns.

It is manufactured from a high-grade copper alloy for durability and conductivity.

Yes, it is ideal for heavy-duty Flux-Cored (FCAW) and Submerged Arc (SAW) welding.

It belongs to the Lincoln Electric Magnum / KP16S series of heavy-duty consumables.

Large diameter wires require high amperage (often 400A+), which generates significant heat that would melt or deform standard light-duty tips.
