OVERVIEW

Product Overview

The ESAB Tip Holder (SKU: 342P008133) is a critical replacement component designed for industrial MIG welding applications. Engineered to accommodate M8 threaded contact tips, this holder serves as the interface between the welding gun's swan neck and the contact tip. It plays a vital role in the electrical conductivity of the welding circuit, ensuring that current is efficiently transferred to the welding wire.

Manufactured to ESAB's high standards, this tip holder is built from durable, high-conductivity alloys that resist thermal deformation and spatter adhesion. Proper maintenance of the tip holder is essential for preventing arc instability and ensuring smooth wire feeding. This specific model is identified by the reference 4Mm L, indicating specific dimensional properties suitable for compatible ESAB torch series.

In an industrial setting, having reliable consumables is key to minimizing downtime. This tip holder is designed for quick changeovers, allowing operators to replace worn parts effortlessly and return to welding. It is compatible with standard M8 contact tips, making it a versatile addition to your welding inventory.

FAQ

This tip holder is designed to accept contact tips with an M8 thread.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB replacement part, ensuring proper fit and performance.

The tip holder secures the contact tip to the welding gun and transfers the welding current to the tip.

Replace the tip holder if the threads become stripped, if it is physically damaged, or if spatter buildup prevents proper gas flow or tip installation.

In many MIG gun designs, the tip holder also functions as a gas diffuser, distributing shielding gas evenly into the nozzle.

No, this specific holder is machined for M8 threads. You would need a different holder for M6 tips.

It is typically made from a high-conductivity copper or brass alloy to withstand heat and transfer current efficiently.

Unscrew the old tip holder from the swan neck (using a wrench if necessary) and screw the new one in place until snug. Do not overtighten.
