999578 - ESAB .045 Heavy Duty Contact Tip (Pack of 5)

Reliable Consumables for Industrial Fabrication

In high-volume industrial welding environments, the quality of your consumables directly impacts downtime and productivity. The ESAB .045" Heavy Duty Contact Tip is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional fabrication shops and manufacturing lines. Designed specifically for use with 0.045-inch (1.2mm) welding wire, these tips provide the consistent electrical contact necessary for maintaining a stable arc and producing defect-free welds.

This pack contains five heavy-duty contact tips, ensuring your team has immediate access to replacements when wear occurs. The "H-C" designation indicates a robust construction, likely utilizing a high-grade copper alloy that resists the intense heat and abrasion typical of continuous MIG and Flux-Cored welding. By maintaining their structural integrity longer than standard tips, these consumables reduce the frequency of changeovers, allowing operators to focus on arc-on time rather than troubleshooting feed issues.

Optimized for Performance

Proper wire feeding is critical for weld quality. These contact tips feature precision-drilled bores that accommodate .045" wire with tight tolerances. This precision minimizes micro-arcing inside the tip—a common cause of premature failure and unstable wire feed. Whether you are welding structural steel, heavy machinery, or automotive components, relying on genuine ESAB-quality consumables ensures that your equipment operates at peak efficiency.

Inventory Management

Supplied in a convenient pack of five, these contact tips are easy to stock and distribute to welding stations. Keeping a healthy supply of critical consumables like contact tips is essential for preventing production bottlenecks. Josef Gas provides these essential components to help you maintain a smooth, uninterrupted workflow in your facility.
