P15H-52 - Parker Style .052 Heavy Duty Contact Tip for #5 Guns (25 Pack)

High-Performance Contact Tips for Industrial MIG Welding

The P15H-52 Contact Tip is a premium replacement consumable engineered specifically for the Parker #5 MIG Gun series. Designed to accommodate .052-inch (1.3mm) welding wire, this contact tip is a critical component for maintaining the electrical integrity and performance of your welding operations. In high-amperage industrial environments, the contact tip serves as the final point of current transfer to the electrode; therefore, precision and material quality are paramount. The P15H-52 is manufactured to strict tolerances, ensuring the bore diameter provides optimal electrical contact without causing excessive drag that could lead to wire feeding issues.

Constructed from a high-grade copper alloy, these tips offer exceptional thermal conductivity and resistance to annealing. The Parker #5 gun is typically utilized in heavy-duty applications where heat buildup is significant. The P15H-52 is designed to dissipate this heat effectively, prolonging the life of the tip and reducing the frequency of changeovers. A worn or ovalized contact tip can lead to an unstable arc, micro-arcing within the tip, and poor weld bead characteristics. By utilizing these precision-made replacements, operators can ensure a centered wire position and a consistent arc column.

This product is supplied in a pack of 25, making it an ideal choice for high-volume fabrication shops and industrial maintenance cribs. Bulk packaging ensures that welders have immediate access to fresh consumables, minimizing downtime associated with part procurement. The threaded base allows for rapid installation and removal, ensuring a tight mechanical and electrical connection with the gas diffuser. Whether used in structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment manufacturing, or general industrial repair, the P15H-52 delivers the reliability required for professional welding results.

Regular inspection and replacement of contact tips are essential for quality control. Signs of wear such as keyholing (elongation of the exit bore) or spatter adhesion blocking the gas flow should be addressed immediately by swapping in a new P15H-52 tip. This proactive maintenance ensures that the Parker #5 gun operates at its rated capacity and efficiency.
