KP2088-2B1 - Lincoln Electric KP2088-2B1 Contact Tip 3/32 Inch (10-Pack)

Precision Engineering for Industrial Welding

The Lincoln Electric KP2088-2B1 Contact Tip is a critical consumable component designed for high-performance MIG welding applications. Engineered specifically for use with 3/32 inch (2.4 mm) welding wire, this contact tip ensures optimal electrical transfer from the welding gun to the electrode. The tip features a compact length of 3/8 inch (9.5 mm), making it suitable for specific gun geometries where clearance and gas coverage are prioritized. Manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, the KP2088-2B1 is built to withstand the intense heat and electrical current typical of industrial welding environments.

Reliability in automated and manual welding processes often hinges on the quality of the contact tip. Lincoln Electric utilizes precision machining techniques to create a smooth bore with tight tolerances. This attention to detail minimizes wire drag, which is a common cause of erratic feeding and arc instability. The 16-thread design ensures a secure mechanical connection to the gas diffuser or tip holder, preventing loosening during operation due to thermal expansion or vibration. This secure fit is essential for maintaining consistent electrical conductivity and preventing overheating at the threaded joint.

This product is supplied in a pack of 10, providing a cost-effective solution for workshops and production lines that require regular consumable replacements. By using genuine Lincoln Electric parts like the KP2088-2B1, operators can maintain the integrity of their welding system, ensuring that the equipment performs to its rated specifications. Whether used in heavy fabrication, structural steel, or manufacturing, these contact tips deliver the consistency required for code-quality welds.

Technical Specifications

The KP2088-2B1 is characterized by its specific dimensions and thread pitch. The 3/32 inch bore is optimized for standard solid and flux-cored wires of the same diameter. The 3/8 inch overall length is a distinguishing feature, differentiating it from longer standard tips, and must be matched to the correct nozzle and diffuser setup to ensure proper tip recess or stick-out. The 16-thread specification is a standard Lincoln Electric thread type for this series of consumables, ensuring broad compatibility within the relevant product family.
