The Lincoln Electric KP14H-564 is a premium heavy-duty contact tip designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial MIG welding. Engineered specifically for use with the Magnum® 300 and Magnum® 400 series MIG guns, this consumable plays a critical role in the welding circuit by transferring welding current to the wire as it passes through the gun. This specific model is sized for 5/64 inch (2.0 mm) wire, a diameter commonly used in heavy fabrication and structural steel applications where high deposition rates are required.
What sets the KP14H-564 apart is its "Heavy Duty" classification. In high-amperage environments (300-400A), standard contact tips can overheat, soften, and wear out prematurely, leading to erratic arc characteristics and wire feeding issues. The KP14H-564 features a robust construction with more material mass, allowing for better heat dissipation and electrical conductivity. This durability ensures that the tip maintains its structural integrity longer, reducing downtime associated with frequent consumable changes.
Precision manufacturing is a hallmark of Lincoln Electric consumables. The bore of the KP14H-564 is machined to tight tolerances to ensure optimal contact with the welding wire without causing excessive drag. This balance is essential for maintaining a stable arc and preventing micro-arcing inside the tip, which can cause the wire to fuse to the copper. By ensuring smooth wire delivery, this contact tip helps welders achieve consistent bead profiles and high-quality welds.
This product is supplied in a pack of 10, providing a convenient stock for busy workshops. Whether you are welding thick plate steel, heavy machinery, or structural components, using genuine Lincoln Electric parts like the KP14H-564 ensures your equipment operates at peak performance. It is an essential component for any welder utilizing Magnum 300 or 400 guns with 5/64" wire.
