7490 - Bernard Style 7490 .045 Elliptical Contact Tip

Reliable Bernard Style 7490 Contact Tip for Industrial MIG Welding

In the demanding world of industrial fabrication, equipment downtime is the enemy of productivity. The Bernard Style 7490 Contact Tip is engineered to keep your production lines moving and your arcs burning smoothly. Designed as a direct replacement for the standard Bernard 7400 series, this contact tip is built to accommodate .045-inch (1.2mm) welding wire, a staple size for structural steel, heavy equipment repair, and general manufacturing. Whether you are operating a busy job shop or a large-scale production facility, having a reliable supply of high-quality consumables is essential for maintaining consistent weld quality.

This contact tip features the distinct Elliptical design that has made the series a favorite among professionals. Unlike traditional threaded tips that can seize up due to spatter and heat expansion, the 7490 utilizes a threadless, drop-in geometry. This allows for rapid changeovers without the need for pliers or wrenches, reducing frustration and saving valuable time during shift changes or maintenance intervals. It is fully compatible with 4335 and 4435 gas diffusers, ensuring a secure fit within your existing MIG gun setup.

Durability is key when choosing generic replacements, and this product delivers. Manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, it offers excellent electrical conductivity and heat resistance. The unique shape also allows the operator to rotate the tip 90 degrees when the bore becomes worn (keyholing), providing a fresh contact surface and effectively extending the lifespan of the part. Compatible with a wide range of guns including Q-Guns, S-Guns, and EZ Feed systems, this contact tip is a versatile addition to your welding inventory.
