OVERVIEW

Keep Your Arc Stable with Taper Lock Technology

Every welder knows the frustration of a contact tip that overheats, burns back, or rattles loose in the middle of a critical pass. The Tregaskiss 403-14-45 Contact Tip is designed to eliminate those headaches so you can focus on laying down perfect beads. Built for .045" wire, this is the workhorse tip for your Tregaskiss MIG gun, offering the reliability you need for day-in, day-out fabrication.

The secret to this tip's performance is the Taper Lock connection. Forget about grabbing pliers to crank down a threaded tip only to have it seize up or wiggle loose later. The Taper Lock design slides in and locks tight, using the heat of the welding process to maintain a secure fit. This solid connection does more than just hold the tip in place; it pulls heat away from the front end of your gun, keeping the tip cooler. A cooler tip lasts longer, feeds wire smoother, and resists spatter buildup better than inferior aftermarket alternatives.

Changing tips is also faster and easier. When it's time to swap out, the Taper Lock system allows for quick removal without the risk of cross-threading or damaging your diffuser. This means less time fighting with your torch and more time welding. The 403-14-45 is a Standard Duty tip, making it perfect for general fabrication, manufacturing, and repair work where .045 wire is the standard. It fits seamlessly with your existing 404- series diffusers found on TOUGH GUN and other Tregaskiss setups.

Don't compromise your weld quality with generic copper. Stick with genuine Tregaskiss consumables that are machined to exact specifications. The smooth bore ensures your wire glides through with minimal drag, reducing bird-nesting at the feeder and ensuring a consistent stick-out. Upgrade your consumable game with the 403-14-45 and experience the difference a quality contact tip makes.
