KP1968-5 - Lincoln Electric KP1968-5 Sub-Arc Flux Cone Nozzle 5/8-inch

Keep Your Sub-Arc Setup Running Smoothly

When it comes to submerged arc welding, consistency is key. The Lincoln Electric KP1968-5 Nozzle Flux Cone is the replacement part you need to keep your K112, K113, or Magnum 600 guns operating at peak efficiency. This 5/8-inch nozzle is designed to guide the flux exactly where it needs to go—right over the arc and the weld puddle. Without a properly functioning flux cone, you risk uneven coverage, which can lead to porosity, spatter, and poor bead appearance. This genuine Lincoln part ensures you get the coverage you need for those long, heavy welds.

Designed for Heavy-Duty Guns

If you are running the classic K112 or K113 sub-arc guns, you know they are workhorses built for serious fabrication. The KP1968-5 is the standard replacement cone for these models, ensuring that your equipment remains true to its original specifications. It also fits the Magnum 600 MIG gun, making it a versatile addition to your parts bin if you switch that gun over for sub-arc tasks. The 5/8-inch opening is the sweet spot for many wire diameters and flux types, providing a steady, manageable flow that doesn't clog easily but covers the arc completely.

Built Tough for Industrial Use

Submerged arc welding often happens in tough environments where equipment takes a beating. This nozzle is constructed to handle the heat and the abrasive nature of granular flux. It resists wear and tear, meaning you spend less time changing out parts and more time laying down metal. A worn-out nozzle can disrupt flux flow, causing arc flash-through or insufficient slag coverage. Swapping in a fresh KP1968-5 restores that smooth, buried arc characteristic that SAW is famous for.

Easy Replacement

Maintenance shouldn't slow you down. The KP1968-5 is designed for quick and easy installation, allowing you to get back to welding with minimal interruption. Whether you are welding thick plate, pipe, or structural beams, having a reliable flux cone is a small detail that makes a big difference in your daily productivity. Trust genuine Lincoln Electric parts to keep your automated and semi-automated welding lines moving.
