Welders know that the contact tip is the final transfer point for welding current, and its condition directly impacts arc stability and weld quality. The Lincoln Electric KP2744-116-B100 Copper Plus® contact tip is designed to solve the most common frustrations associated with MIG welding: burnback, keyholing, and seized threads. Specifically engineered for 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) wire and rated for 350 amps, this tip is built to handle the heat of heavy-duty welding without failing prematurely. The "Copper Plus" designation refers to the extra mass and diameter of the tip, which allows it to stay cooler than thinner competitors. A cooler tip means the wire feeds more smoothly, the arc wanders less, and you spend more time welding and less time troubleshooting.
One of the standout features for any welder who has struggled with a stuck tip is the Anti-Seize™ threading. The threads on the KP2744-116-B100 are flattened and designed to dissipate heat at the connection point with the diffuser. This prevents the tip from welding itself to the gun, a common issue that can ruin a diffuser or even damage the gun neck. With Anti-Seize™ technology, swapping out a tip is smooth and predictable, allowing you to get back under the hood faster. Whether you are running a Magnum® 550 or another gun in the Magnum® PRO series, these tips provide a precise fit and reliable electrical transfer.
This 100-pack offers exceptional value for professional welders and shops running high-volume jobs. The 1/16 inch bore is machined to tight tolerances to ensure optimal contact with the wire, which is crucial for maintaining a consistent voltage and amperage profile during the weld. By reducing the frequency of tip changes and eliminating the struggle of seized parts, the Lincoln KP2744-116-B100 helps you maintain a high duty cycle and produce cleaner, more consistent welds on heavy plate and structural steel.
