OVERVIEW

Keep Your Subarc System Running Longer

When you are running heavy Subarc wire, the last thing you want is to stop every hour to swap out a burned-back contact tip. The Lincoln Electric KP3162-2B1 is the solution for welders pushing 3/16-inch wire who need reliability and endurance. These "Extended Life" contact tips are built tougher than your standard tip, designed to handle the intense heat and high amperage of submerged arc welding without keyholing or seizing prematurely. This means you spend more time laying down metal and less time troubleshooting the gun.

This package contains 10 genuine Lincoln Electric contact tips, giving you a solid supply for your shop or field truck. Whether you are welding bridge girders, pipe, or heavy machinery, consistent contact is the key to a smooth arc and a clean bead. These tips provide that consistency, ensuring the wire feeds smoothly and the current transfers efficiently. Upgrade your consumables to match the quality of your work with these heavy-duty Subarc tips.

This product is sold as a pack of 10 contact tips.

'Extended Life' indicates that the tip is manufactured with materials or hardening processes that allow it to withstand the heat and wear of welding longer than standard copper tips, reducing the frequency of replacements.

Yes, this is a genuine Lincoln Electric OEM part, ensuring proper fit and performance with your Lincoln equipment.

While primarily for Subarc, if the flux-cored wire is 3/16" and the torch accepts this specific tip style (Subarc torches), it may physically fit, but it is optimized for the SAW process.
