KP14T-40-B100 - Lincoln Electric KP14T-40-B100 Tapered Contact Tip .040 (100 Pack)

Reliable Performance with Lincoln Electric Consumables

Maximize the efficiency of your welding operations with the Lincoln Electric KP14T-40-B100 Contact Tip. Specifically engineered for use with the industry-renowned Magnum® 200, 300, and 400 Amp MIG welding guns, these contact tips are a critical component for maintaining a stable arc and ensuring high-quality welds. This bulk package contains 100 tapered contact tips, making it an ideal solution for industrial fabrication shops, manufacturing plants, and busy welding environments where uptime is paramount.

The contact tip is the final point of transfer for welding current to the wire, making its quality essential for consistent performance. The KP14T-40-B100 is designed for .040 inch (1.0 mm) wire, a common diameter for structural and general fabrication tasks. Its precision-machined bore ensures that the wire feeds smoothly without snagging or arcing inside the tip, which can lead to burn-backs and interruptions. By maintaining a consistent electrical connection, these tips help reduce spatter and improve the overall appearance of the weld bead.

The Tapered Advantage

One of the standout features of the KP14T series is the tapered design. Unlike standard cylindrical tips, a tapered tip narrows towards the arc end. This geometry provides two distinct advantages: improved visibility and better access. Welders can see the weld puddle more clearly, allowing for finer control over the bead placement. Additionally, the slimmer profile allows the gun nozzle to reach into tighter corners and V-grooves that might be obstructed by bulkier consumables.

Built for Durability

Lincoln Electric manufactures these tips from high-grade copper alloy, formulated to withstand the intense heat and abrasion inherent in MIG welding. While contact tips are consumable items that require regular replacement, the superior material quality of Lincoln OEM parts often results in longer intervals between changes compared to generic alternatives. This 100-pack ensures you have a ready supply on hand, keeping your welders welding and your production line moving.
