340P163262 - ESAB M8x30mm CuCrZr Contact Tip for 1.6mm Wire

Reliable ESAB Contact Tips for Professional Welders

Keep your MIG gun running smoothly with the ESAB Contact Tip M8 x 30mm, specifically designed for running heavy 1.6mm (1/16") wire. Identified by SKU 340P163262, this contact tip is a critical upgrade for welders facing issues with tip wear and overheating. The secret lies in its material: Copper-Chromium-Zirconium (CuCrZr). While standard copper tips are fine for light hobby work, they often fail under the heat of heavy fabrication. This CuCrZr alloy is formulated to resist annealing, meaning it stays hard and conductive even when your gun gets hot during long welds. This translates to fewer interruptions to change tips and a more stable, predictable arc.

This tip features a standard M8 thread and a 30mm length, a common configuration for many high-amperage ESAB PSF torches and compatible MIG guns. The bore is precision-machined to accommodate 1.6mm wire with tight tolerances, ensuring that the electrical current is transferred efficiently from the power source to the filler metal. Loose or worn tips can cause the wire to wander or lose contact, resulting in sputtering and spatter. By using a fresh, high-quality ESAB tip, you ensure that your wire feeds straight and your arc starts crisp every time.

Welders Supply understands that consumables are the heartbeat of your welding operation. Using the right tip for the job is essential. If you are running flux-cored or solid wire at 1/16" diameter, this heavy-duty tip is the correct choice to handle the current. Don't let a cheap contact tip ruin a perfect bead; upgrade to the durability of CuCrZr and experience the difference in longevity and performance. Perfect for fabrication shops, repair centers, and manufacturing floors demanding reliability.
