Hobart FabCO Element 71T1C 1/16" Low-Manganese Flux-Cored Wire (33lb Spool)

Breathe Easier with Hobart FabCO Element

As a welder, your health is your most valuable asset. The Hobart FabCO Element 71T1C is designed with you in mind, tackling one of the biggest hazards in the shop: manganese fumes. This innovative 1/16" flux-cored wire drastically reduces the amount of manganese in the smoke you breathe—cutting it down by up to 80% compared to traditional wires. It’s the perfect choice for long shifts in the booth, working in tight quarters, or any job where air quality is a concern. You get the protection you need without having to fight with a difficult puddle.

Don't let the "safety" label fool you; this wire runs like a dream. Hobart has engineered the Element series to have enhanced operator appeal, meaning you get a smooth, stable arc that goes exactly where you point it. It is designed for 100% CO2 gas, keeping your operating costs down while delivering robust penetration. Whether you are welding flat, horizontal, or stuck in an awkward vertical-up position, this wire holds the puddle well and produces a bead profile you can be proud of.

The FabCO Element 71T1C is a workhorse for heavy fabrication. It is tough enough for shipbuilding, rail work, and heavy equipment repair. The low diffusible hydrogen formula means your welds are strong and crack-resistant, giving you peace of mind on critical joints. With this 33lb spool, you can tackle large projects with fewer changeovers, keeping your arc on time high. Upgrade your shop's safety and your weld quality simultaneously with Hobart's Element series.
