This 3/64-inch standard-duty contact tip features a coarse thread for faster replacement. When the diffuser is tightened, the tip aligns with the liner lock to create a centered wire-feed path that helps reduce burnbacks, bird-nesting, and erratic arc. Tapered connections lock the tip to the diffuser and the diffuser to the neck for electrical conductivity, while shielding gas cools the tip tail inside the diffuser.
