KP3162-5B1 - Lincoln Electric Extended Life Subarc Contact Tip 7/32 in - 10 Pack

Keep Your Subarc System Running Smoothly

For professional welders tackling heavy fabrication jobs, the Lincoln Electric KP3162-5B1 Contact Tip is the reliable workhorse you need at the end of your torch. Designed for 7/32-inch wire, these tips are built for the heavy-duty world of Submerged Arc Welding (SAW). When you are laying down pounds of metal per hour on thick plate or large diameter pipe, the last thing you want is a contact tip that fails prematurely or causes wire feeding issues. These tips are engineered to withstand the extreme heat and electrical current typical of subarc applications.

The "Extended Life" feature of these tips is a game-changer for productivity. Standard tips can wear out quickly under high amperage, causing the wire to lose contact or arc erratically. This leads to frustration, stoppages, and potential weld defects. The KP3162-5B1 is constructed to resist wear and deformation, keeping the wire centered and the arc stable for longer durations. This means you spend more time welding and less time stopping the machine to swap out parts. A stable arc also means cleaner welds with less chance of defects that require time-consuming gouging and repair.

This product comes in a convenient pack of 10, ensuring you have plenty of spares on hand for long shifts or continuous production runs. The 7/32-inch size is a standard for heavy industrial applications, and these tips are manufactured to Lincoln Electric's strict quality standards for a perfect fit every time. Whether you are running a tractor unit or a beam-mounted system, consistent consumables are key to consistent results.

Don't let cheap or worn-out consumables bottleneck your production. Upgrade to Lincoln's Extended Life tips and experience smoother feeding and better electrical transfer. These tips are an essential part of your preventative maintenance kit, helping you achieve the high-quality welds that Lincoln Electric equipment is known for.
