340P161069 - ESAB M6 x 28mm Contact Tip for 1.6mm Wire - E-Cu

Keep Your Arc Stable with ESAB Precision Tips

Every welder knows that the contact tip is the unsung hero of the MIG gun. It is the final point where welding current is transferred to your wire, and its condition directly impacts the quality of your weld. The ESAB M6 x 28mm Contact Tip is designed to keep that current flowing smoothly. Built for 1.6mm (1/16") wire, this tip is ideal for those heavy-duty jobs where you are laying down serious metal. Whether you are working on structural steel, heavy machinery repair, or general fabrication, having a fresh, high-quality tip is the easiest way to prevent frustration on the job.

This tip is made from E-Cu (Electrolytic Copper), which is the industry standard for conductivity. What does that mean for you? It means the electricity gets to the wire efficiently, giving you a crisp, consistent start and a stable arc while you run your bead. Poor quality tips or worn-out bores can cause the wire to drag, stutter, or burn back, ruining your rhythm and potentially your weld. The smooth internal bore of this ESAB tip reduces friction, allowing the heavy 1.6mm wire to feed without hesitation.

Installation is quick and easy with the standard M6 thread. Simply unscrew your old, spattered tip and thread this one in. At 28mm long, it sits at the correct depth in your nozzle to ensure your shielding gas covers the puddle effectively. Don't let a cheap or worn-out tip compromise your work. Keep a pack of these ESAB tips in your toolbox so you are always ready to swap them out when the arc starts acting up. Consistent feeding, reliable ignition, and durable performance—that’s what you get with genuine ESAB consumables.
