The 7488 Contact Tip is a premium-quality generic replacement designed to fit Bernard® style MIG welding guns utilizing the elliptical consumable system. Engineered for precision and durability, this contact tip is sized for .030" (0.8mm) welding wire, making it a staple for fabrication shops and industrial welding environments requiring consistent arc stability.
Manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, this tip ensures excellent electrical conductivity and thermal transfer. The unique elliptical shape is a hallmark of the Bernard style design, which allows for a larger surface area of contact between the tip and the gas diffuser. This design feature helps to keep the tip cooler during extended welding operations, thereby reducing wear and preventing wire burn-back. It is specifically engineered to mate perfectly with 4335 and 4435 gas diffusers, ensuring a secure fit and optimal gas coverage.
Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, maintaining a fresh contact tip is crucial for weld quality. A worn tip can lead to erratic arcs, poor bead profile, and increased spatter. By choosing this high-quality generic 7488 tip, you ensure your equipment runs smoothly while managing consumable costs effectively. It is an ideal solution for high-volume production environments where consumable longevity and price-to-performance ratio are key factors.
