632798 - ESAB 1/16 Inch Contact Tip (Pack of 5)

Keep Your Arc Smooth with Genuine ESAB Tips

Every welder knows that the contact tip is the unsung hero of the MIG gun. It takes the most abuse, handling extreme heat and constant friction while delivering the current needed to melt metal. If you are running 1/16" (1.6mm) wire through your ESAB rig, the ESAB 632798 Contact Tip is the exact replacement you need to keep your welds looking professional and your machine running smoothly. Worn-out tips are the number one cause of a sputtering arc, burn-backs, and frustrating wire feed issues. Don't let a cheap or worn tip ruin your bead.

These tips are built from premium copper alloy, designed to handle the heat of heavy-duty welding without softening or deforming prematurely. The hole is drilled perfectly to size, allowing your 1/16" wire to glide through with just the right amount of contact for a hot, stable arc. Whether you are welding structural steel, heavy equipment, or pipe, consistent electrical transfer is key to getting deep penetration and avoiding cold lap. Because these are genuine ESAB parts, you don't have to worry about cross-threading or loose fits that can mess up your gas coverage.

This package comes with five contact tips, so you can keep a few spares in your toolbox or on your welding cart. It is always better to change a tip before it fails completely. If you notice your wire starting to wander or the arc sound changing from a crisp sizzle to a erratic pop, it's probably time to swap it out. These tips fit a variety of popular ESAB guns, including the ST and MT series, making them a versatile choice for shops with older reliable equipment.

Stop fighting your equipment and start welding. Using fresh, high-quality consumables like the ESAB 632798 ensures that your focus stays on the puddle, not on troubleshooting your gun. Upgrade your consumables today and experience the difference a fresh contact tip makes on your 1/16" wire applications.
