OVERVIEW

Experience the Versatility of Fabco Triple 7

For professional welders who demand consistency and ease of use, the Hobart Fabco Triple 7 is a legendary choice in the flux-cored wire category. If you are welding structural steel or heavy machinery and need a wire that runs as smoothly in the vertical-up position as it does in the flat, this 1/16-inch wire is your solution. The "Triple 7" is famous for its forgiving arc and fast-freezing slag, which acts like a shelf to hold your puddle in place when you are fighting gravity. This means you can carry a heavier bead uphill without the worry of the puddle sagging or dripping.

One of the biggest headaches in flux-cored welding is slag removal. Hobart has engineered this wire to have excellent slag release—often peeling off by itself or with a light scrape—saving you valuable time between passes. The 60 lb coil packaging is designed for high-volume fabrication shops where downtime for spool changes needs to be minimized. You will also appreciate the flexibility in gas selection; whether your shop runs straight CO2 for penetration and cost-savings, or an Argon blend for a smoother arc, this wire performs exceptionally well with both.

The 1/16-inch diameter is a powerhouse size. It allows you to lay down metal faster than .045" wires, boosting your productivity on thick plate applications. With low spatter levels, you spend less time grinding BBs and more time welding. Whether you are building railcars, repairing mining equipment, or fabricating structural beams, the Fabco Triple 7 delivers a high-quality, X-ray quality weld with a bead appearance you can be proud of.
