Every welder knows that a bad contact tip can ruin a good day under the hood. If you are running heavy 1/16-inch wire, you need a contact tip that can handle the heat and deliver the current without complaining. The Miller 056823 Contact Tip is the genuine OEM replacement you need to keep your Miller gun running like new. At 1.625 inches long, it sits perfectly in your nozzle, giving you the visibility and gas coverage you expect.
Why stick with genuine Miller tips? It comes down to consistency. Cheap knock-off tips often have oval holes or rough interiors that snag the wire, causing erratic feeding and that frustrating "stuttering" arc. This Miller tip features a smooth, concentric bore that lets the wire glide through while maintaining the solid electrical contact needed for a crisp, hot arc. Whether you are pushing solid wire or running heavy flux-core, this copper tip stands up to the punishment of high-amperage welding.
Don't let a worn-out tip compromise your welds. Signs like keyholing (where the hole wears into an oval), excessive spatter, or the wire burning back to the tip are clear indicators it's time to swap it out. The threaded design makes changing this tip quick and easy—just unscrew the old one and thread this one in tight. Keep a few 056823 tips in your kit so you are never caught off guard by a burnback in the middle of a critical pass.
