KP2217-2B1 - Lincoln KP2217-2B1 .035 Heavy Duty Contact Tips for Python Guns (25-Pack)

Lincoln Electric KP2217-2B1 Heavy Duty Contact Tip .035" (25 Pack)

The Lincoln Electric KP2217-2B1 is a premium heavy-duty contact tip designed specifically for use with Python® Push-Pull MIG guns. Engineered to accommodate 0.035-inch (0.9 mm) welding wire, these tips are a critical component for maintaining consistent electrical contact and arc stability during demanding welding operations. This package contains 25 individual contact tips, ensuring that professional fabricators have an ample supply of consumables on hand to minimize downtime and maintain high productivity levels.

In the realm of industrial welding, particularly when utilizing push-pull systems for feeding softer wires like aluminum, the quality of the contact tip is paramount. The KP2217-2B1 is manufactured to strict tolerances, ensuring a precise bore diameter that promotes smooth wire feeding while maximizing current transfer. The "Heavy Duty" designation indicates a robust construction capable of withstanding higher heat inputs and prolonged usage cycles compared to standard duty tips. This durability translates to fewer tip changes, reduced troubleshooting of arc issues, and overall better weld quality.

Python push-pull guns are renowned for their ability to feed wire over long distances with precision. Using genuine Lincoln Electric consumables like the KP2217-2B1 ensures that the gun performs as intended. Mismatched or inferior contact tips can lead to micro-arcing inside the tip, wire shaving, and erratic arc characteristics, all of which compromise the structural integrity of the weld. By choosing these OEM specification tips, operators ensure seamless compatibility and optimal performance of their welding equipment.

This 25-pack configuration is ideal for workshops and manufacturing facilities where high-volume welding is the norm. Keeping a healthy stock of contact tips is essential for preventative maintenance protocols. When a tip begins to keyhole or wear, immediate replacement is necessary to prevent defects. The KP2217-2B1 offers the reliability and consistency required for code-quality work, making it a trusted choice for welders relying on Python gun systems.
