KP4482-040-B100 - Lincoln Electric Hyperfill .040 Contact Tips (100 Pack)

Lincoln Electric KP4482-040-B100 Hyperfill Contact Tip Overview

The Lincoln Electric KP4482-040-B100 is a specialized contact tip designed exclusively for the innovative Hyperfill™ twin-wire MIG welding solution. Engineered to support the unique requirements of running two wires simultaneously, this contact tip ensures precise current transfer and optimal arc characteristics. It is sized for .040-inch (1.0 mm) welding wire, making it a critical component for fabricators utilizing the Hyperfill process to achieve higher deposition rates and increased productivity in heavy industrial applications.

Part of the renowned Magnum® PRO consumable line, these contact tips are built with Lincoln Electric's Copper Plus® technology or similar high-grade copper alloys (depending on specific sub-variant composition) to resist the intense heat generated during high-amperage welding. The KP4482-040-B100 features a robust threaded design that seats firmly into the diffuser, maximizing surface contact for heat dissipation and electrical conductivity. This reduces the risk of micro-arcing within the gun and extends the service life of the consumable, even under the demanding duty cycles often associated with automated or heavy semi-automatic welding.

This SKU represents a bulk package containing 100 individual contact tips. This packaging configuration is specifically targeted at high-volume manufacturing environments, structural steel fabrication shops, and automotive assembly lines where welding uptime is critical. By purchasing in bulk, facilities can streamline their inventory management, reduce the administrative burden of frequent reordering, and ensure that welding operators always have immediate access to fresh consumables. The tips are manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring consistent wire feeding and reducing the likelihood of burn-backs or erratic arcs that can compromise weld quality.

Compatibility is key with the Hyperfill system. The KP4482-040-B100 is designed to work seamlessly with Lincoln Electric's Hyperfill-ready wire feeders and Magnum PRO gun assemblies. It facilitates the bridging of gaps and the creation of larger weld puddles that are characteristic of the twin-wire process, providing a stable platform for high-speed welding operations.
