The Lincoln Electric KP2088-4B1 Contact Tip is a critical consumable designed for industrial welding operations requiring large diameter wires. Engineered specifically for 7/64-inch (approx. 2.8 mm) welding wire, this contact tip ensures precise current transfer and reliable wire feeding in demanding environments. It features a robust 3/8-inch outer diameter with a 16-thread pitch (3/8-16), making it compatible with a range of heavy-duty Lincoln Electric welding guns and torch assemblies commonly used in structural steel, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment manufacturing.
Manufactured to strict tolerances, these contact tips are crafted from high-quality copper alloy. This material choice is essential for maintaining high electrical conductivity while withstanding the intense heat generated during high-amperage welding processes such as Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) and submerged arc welding. The precision bore minimizes friction, allowing the wire to feed smoothly without snagging or wandering, which is crucial for maintaining a stable arc and achieving X-ray quality welds.
Regular replacement of contact tips is a standard maintenance procedure to prevent issues such as arc instability, burn-back, and irregular bead profiles. The KP2088-4B1 is supplied in a convenient pack of 10, allowing facility managers and welding operators to maintain adequate stock levels for continuous production. By using genuine Lincoln Electric consumables, operators can ensure compatibility and performance consistency across their welding equipment fleet.
Whether utilized in automated systems or manual handheld applications, the KP2088-4B1 delivers the durability and performance expected from Lincoln Electric products. Its design resists keyholing—the ovaling of the tip bore—longer than standard tips, thereby reducing downtime associated with frequent consumable changes. This product is an essential component for any operation utilizing 7/64-inch wire for high-deposition welding tasks.
