OVERVIEW

Reliable Performance for Heavy-Duty Welding

When you are running heavy flux-cored wire, the last thing you need is a contact tip that fuses or wears out halfway through a shift. The Miller 198788 Contact Tip is built to handle the heat and grit of the toughest welding jobs. Designed specifically for the legendary FC-1260 gun, these tips are the go-to choice for welders laying down serious metal with 5/64-inch wire. Whether you are welding on bridge girders, earthmoving equipment, or structural beams, these tips deliver the consistent arc start and smooth feeding you rely on.

We know that in flux-cored welding, the contact tip takes a beating. The aggressive nature of the wire and the high amperages can chew through inferior tips quickly. Miller's genuine contact tips are crafted to resist keyholing and wear longer than generic alternatives. This means you spend less time swapping out parts and more time under the hood. The 5/64-inch bore is precision-drilled to guide the wire accurately into the weld pool, helping you maintain bead profile and penetration without fighting the gun.

This pack contains 25 contact tips, ensuring your tool crib is stocked and ready for the week ahead. Buying in packs of 25 is not just economical; it ensures that you always have a fresh tip on hand when the arc starts to sputter. Don't let a worn-out tip compromise your weld quality or slow down your production. Stick with genuine Miller parts to keep your FC-1260 gun performing like new.

Upgrade your consumables game with the Miller 198788. It is the small part that makes a big difference in your daily grind. Consistent electrical contact means less spatter, fewer burn-backs, and a smoother day on the job site. Trust Miller Electric to provide the quality consumables that professional welders demand.

FAQ

This contact tip is designed specifically for the Miller FC-1260 Flux-Cored Welding Gun.

The Miller 198788 is sized for 5/64 inch (approx. 2.0 mm) welding wire.

This product is sold as a package of 25 contact tips.

While it physically fits the gun, 5/64" is a large diameter typically associated with flux-cored or metal-cored wires used in heavy industry, rather than standard solid MIG wire.

Genuine Miller tips are manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure proper electrical conductivity, heat resistance, and thread fitment, which prevents arc instability and equipment damage.

It is manufactured from a high-grade copper alloy designed to withstand the high heat and abrasion of flux-cored welding.

No, using a 5/64" tip with 1/16" wire will result in poor electrical contact and an unstable arc. You should use the correct tip size for your wire diameter.

Yes, it features the specific thread pattern required to mate with the FC-1260 gun's head assembly.
