KP1988-1 - Lincoln Electric Magnum PRO Inline Contact Tip Holder for Heavy Wire

Reliable Performance for Heavy Welding

When you are burning heavy wire on big structural jobs, the last thing you need is your front-end consumables failing on you. The Lincoln Electric KP1988-1 Contact Tip Holder is built for the serious welder running 1/16, 5/64, or 3/32 inch wire. This isn't your standard light-duty part; it is the "Inline" style holder designed to take the heat and keep your arc smooth when you are pushing high amps all day long. Whether you are welding thick plate, heavy equipment, or structural beams, this holder ensures your contact tip stays secure and conductive.

We know that feeding issues can ruin a welder's day. If your tip holder is worn out or doesn't seat right, you get micro-arcing inside the gun, the tip heats up, and suddenly you are burning back or sticking. The KP1988-1 is precision-made by Lincoln to fit your Magnum PRO gun perfectly. It aligns the wire straight from the liner to the tip, reducing drag and helping that heavy wire feed smoothly. The solid copper alloy construction pulls heat away from the tip, helping your consumables last longer and saving you trips to the tool crib.

Swapping out your tip holder is a quick fix that can solve a lot of mysterious arc problems. If you notice your voltage fluctuating or your tip getting loose constantly, it might be time to replace the holder. This unit screws on tight and holds the tip firmly in place. It is designed specifically for the larger wire sizes, so you don't have to worry about compatibility issues when you are geared up for heavy fabrication. Keep a few of these KP1988-1 holders in your kit so you are never down for long.
