P15H-116 - Parker Style 1.6mm MIG Contact Tip - Pack of 25

High-Performance Parker Contact Tips for Industrial MIG Welding

The Parker P15H-116 Contact Tip is a premium consumable designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty industrial welding. Engineered specifically for use with 1.6mm (1/16") welding wire, this contact tip ensures precise current transfer and smooth wire feeding, which are critical for maintaining a stable arc and achieving high-quality weld deposits. Manufactured by Parker, a trusted name in welding torch technology, these tips are built to exacting tolerances to ensure seamless compatibility with Parker MIG guns and similar torch systems.

Material composition is a key factor in the performance of any contact tip. The P15H-116 is crafted from a high-grade copper alloy that offers excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. This superior conductivity minimizes resistance heating at the contact point, thereby reducing the likelihood of burn-back and extending the service life of the tip. For professionals running larger diameter wires like 1.6mm, heat management is essential; these tips are designed to dissipate heat effectively, preventing the softening and deformation that can lead to premature failure.

In a production environment, consistency is paramount. Variations in the bore diameter of a contact tip can lead to micro-arcing inside the tip or erratic wire feeding. Parker's manufacturing process ensures that every P15H-116 tip features a smooth, concentric bore that guides the wire accurately to the weld pool. This precision reduces friction and wear, preventing the common issue of "keyholing" where the exit hole becomes oval-shaped, causing the arc to wander. By maintaining a tight tolerance, these tips help welders produce straighter, more consistent beads with less spatter.

This product is supplied in a convenient pack of 25, making it an ideal choice for high-volume fabrication shops and industrial maintenance departments. Stocking up on essential consumables like contact tips ensures that welding operators can quickly replace worn parts without significant downtime. Whether you are welding structural steel, heavy machinery, or performing maintenance repairs, the Parker P15H-116 provides the reliability and performance professional welders expect.
