OVERVIEW

Hobart Fabco Triple 7 .052" Flux-Cored Wire (500lb Exacto Pak)

The Hobart Fabco Triple 7 is a premium gas-shielded flux-cored wire designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication. This 0.052-inch diameter wire comes in a substantial 500lb Exacto Pak, making it the ideal choice for high-volume manufacturing environments where minimizing downtime for wire changeovers is critical. Engineered for versatility, the Fabco Triple 7 performs exceptionally well in all positions, including difficult vertical-up and overhead welds, thanks to its fast-freezing slag system.

Industrial facilities rely on the Fabco Triple 7 for its consistent mechanical properties and ease of use. It is formulated to provide high impact toughness even at low temperatures, ensuring the structural integrity of welds in challenging environments. The wire is compatible with both 100% CO2 and mixed shielding gases (75% Argon / 25% CO2), allowing shops to utilize their existing gas supply infrastructure without compromise. With an AWS classification of E71T-1C H8 and E71T-1M H8, this wire is suitable for a broad range of carbon and higher strength steels.

One of the standout features of this product is its welder-friendly characteristics. Operators appreciate the smooth arc, low spatter levels, and easy slag removal, which collectively reduce post-weld cleanup time and fatigue. Furthermore, the low fume generation rate contributes to a cleaner and safer shop environment. Whether used for structural steel erection, heavy equipment manufacturing, or shipbuilding, the Hobart Fabco Triple 7 delivers reliable, high-quality results pass after pass.

Key Industrial Benefits

Choosing the 500lb Exacto Pak configuration maximizes efficiency in automated or semi-automated welding cells. The bulk packaging ensures a continuous feed of wire, reducing the frequency of interruptions associated with smaller spools. This translates to higher arc-on time and greater overall throughput for your operations. Josef Gas provides this high-performance consumable to support the heavy fabrication sector with reliable inventory and logistics.
