OVERVIEW

Experience Superior Control with Fabco Triple 7

When you are welding out of position, fighting gravity is half the battle. The Hobart Fabco Triple 7 1/16" flux-cored wire is your ally in the shop or on the job site. Designed for welders who need a wire that runs smooth and freezes fast, the Triple 7 allows you to stack metal in vertical-up welds with a flat, professional bead profile that requires minimal grinding. Whether you are fabricating structural beams, repairing heavy earth-moving equipment, or working in a shipyard, this wire delivers the performance you need to stay ahead of schedule.

One of the biggest advantages of this wire is its forgiveness. It runs beautifully on straight CO2, which keeps your operating costs down, but if your shop runs an Argon/CO2 mix, it handles that just as well with an even smoother arc. The spatter is extremely low, meaning you aren't spending half your day cleaning the nozzle or chipping BBs off the workpiece. The slag practically lifts itself off as it cools, revealing a clean, shiny weld underneath. This makes multi-pass welding much faster and less frustrating.

Why Choose Fabco Triple 7?

  • All-Position Master: Stop struggling with runny puddles. The fast-freezing slag holds the puddle in place, making vertical and overhead welds look like flat welds.
  • Versatile Gas: Use what you have. Works great with 100% CO2 or 75/25 Mix.
  • Tough Welds: It's not just about looks; this wire produces welds with high impact strength, ensuring your work stands up to stress and cold temperatures.
  • Less Cleanup: Low spatter and easy slag removal mean you finish the job faster.

This 33lb spool is the industry standard size, fitting perfectly on your shop's wire feeder. Make sure you are using knurled drive rolls to feed the 1/16" diameter wire consistently without crushing it. Upgrade your welding experience with Hobart's trusted quality.

FAQ

This wire can be used with either 100% CO2 or a mixture of 75% Argon and 25% CO2. Using an Argon mix typically provides a smoother arc and less spatter.

It meets AWS A5.20 classifications E71T-1C, E71T-1M, E71T-9C, and E71T-9M, depending on the shielding gas used.

Yes, Fabco Triple 7 is an all-position wire. Its fast-freezing slag system makes it excellent for vertical-up and overhead welding.

For flux-cored wires like this 1/16" Fabco Triple 7, knurled drive rolls (V-knurled or U-cogged) are recommended to ensure positive feeding without crushing the tubular wire.

This wire operates on Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP), also known as Reverse Polarity.

It is designed for both single and multiple pass applications on carbon and higher strength steels.

This specific product is 1/16 inch (approximately 1.6mm) in diameter.

It should be stored in a dry, controlled environment to prevent moisture absorption by the flux, which can lead to weld defects like porosity or hydrogen cracking.
