S288819-056 - Hobart Fabco Triple 8 1/16" Flux-Cored Wire 600lb Drum

High-Performance Flux-Cored Wire for Heavy Fabrication

The Hobart Fabco Triple 8 1/16" Flux-Cored Wire is a premium choice for industrial welding operations requiring high impact toughness and superior all-position playability. Supplied in a substantial 600 lb Exacto Pak, this wire is engineered for high-volume manufacturing environments where minimizing downtime for spool changes is critical. The Fabco Triple 8 is an E71T-1 class wire designed to perform exceptionally well with 100% CO2 shielding gas, providing a cost-effective solution without compromising on mechanical properties or weld quality.

Optimized for Critical Applications

This tubular wire stands out due to its ability to deliver high impact values even at low temperatures, making it suitable for demanding industries such as shipbuilding, railcar manufacturing, and heavy equipment fabrication. The wire's formulation ensures deep penetration and reliable fusion in deep groove applications as well as standard joint configurations. Whether you are welding single pass fillets or multi-pass butt welds, the Fabco Triple 8 maintains consistent arc stability and bead appearance.

Operational Efficiency

For industrial MRO and fabrication shops, efficiency is key. The fast-freezing slag system of the Fabco Triple 8 supports vertical-up and overhead welding with ease, reducing the difficulty of out-of-position work. Furthermore, the slag is self-peeling or easily removed with light chipping, which significantly lowers post-weld cleanup time. Combined with low spatter levels, this wire ensures that your welders spend more time welding and less time grinding. The 600 lb bulk packaging is ideal for automated systems or stationary boom-mounted feeders, ensuring long, uninterrupted welding sessions.
