When you are out in the field welding pipe, you need a rod that burns consistent, digs deep, and doesn't fight you. The Hobart Pipemaster 70 (3/16" diameter) is built for exactly that. Known among professional welders as a reliable "stovepipe" rod, this E8010-P1 electrode is designed to handle the tough conditions of pipeline work, shipbuilding, and heavy fabrication. Whether you are welding on X-52 or X-65 steel, the Pipemaster 70 delivers the performance you need to pass inspection every time.
What makes this rod a favorite in the industry is its usability. It offers a quick start and easy restrike, so you aren't wasting time struggling to get the arc going. Once lit, the arc is forceful and stable, giving you the control necessary for vertical-down welding. The slag is light and easy to remove, meaning you spend less time chipping and brushing and more time laying beads. This is crucial when you are working on multi-pass welds and need to keep production moving.
This 50lb can is hermetically sealed to ensure your electrodes arrive fresh and ready to burn. The 3/16" size is perfect for filling and capping larger joints where deposition rate matters. If you are looking for a rod that combines deep penetration with X-ray quality results, the Hobart Pipemaster 70 is the tool for the job. Trust Welders Supply to get you the best consumables for your rig at the best prices.
