0457625009 - ESAB M8 Contact Tip for 1.6mm Wire - 37mm Length

Keep Your ESAB PSF Gun Running Smoothly

If you are running 1/16" (1.6mm) wire through your big ESAB gun, you know that the contact tip is where the rubber meets the road. The ESAB 0457625009 is the standard M8 contact tip designed to keep your PSF 405 or 505 series torch welding like a dream. When you're pushing heavy wire all day, you need a tip that can handle the heat and deliver the current without fusing or stuttering. This tip is built tough with an M8 thread, giving it a solid connection to your diffuser and plenty of mass to dissipate heat.

We've all been there—you're in the middle of a long weld and suddenly the wire starts stubbing or the arc starts wandering. Nine times out of ten, your contact tip is worn out. The hole gets sloppy, the wire loses contact, and your weld quality tanks. Swapping in a fresh ESAB M8 tip restores that crisp, consistent arc you need. The 1.9mm bore gives just enough room for the wire to feed smoothly without dragging, even when things get hot, but it's tight enough to ensure positive electrical contact every time.

Don't settle for cheap knock-offs that melt halfway through the shift. These genuine ESAB tips are machined to tight tolerances so they thread in easily and last longer. Whether you are fabricating heavy structural steel or running hardfacing wire, keeping a pack of these in your toolbox ensures you are never down for long. They fit the standard heavy-duty PSF air-cooled and water-cooled guns found in shops everywhere.

Why Choose This Tip?

• Perfect Fit: Threads perfectly into ESAB M8 adapters.
• Smooth Feeding: Correct clearance for 1.6mm wire prevents jamming.
• Heavy Duty: M8 size handles high amps better than standard M6 tips.
• Reliable: Genuine ESAB quality means fewer tip changes per shift.
