Contact Tips
Price range: £6.99 through £8.99
These contact tips are a consumable for MIG welding torches, supplied 10 to a pack. The contact tip is the small part at the end of the torch that the welding wire passes through, carrying the current to the wire as it feeds.
Contact tips wear with use and need replacing now and then to keep a clean, steady arc, so it’s worth keeping a spare pack to hand. These come 10 tips per pouch.
Check the tip size and type match your torch and wire before fitting. We deliver across our defined Reading area, so check your postcode is covered, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.

These contact tips are a MIG welding consumable, supplied as a pack of 10. The contact tip sits at the end of the torch, and the welding wire feeds through it as you weld. Its job is to pass the welding current to the wire at the last possible moment, which is what gives you a stable arc.
Because the wire runs through the tip continuously, the bore wears over time and the arc can start to wander or stutter. Swapping in a fresh tip is a quick fix, so most welders keep a few spares around. With 10 to a pouch, this pack keeps you going for a good while.
Contact tips come in different sizes to match the wire diameter and the torch, so it’s worth checking yours before fitting. If you’re not sure which you need, your torch documentation will tell you, or give us a call.

FAQs
What is a MIG contact tip for?
It’s the small part at the end of a MIG torch that the welding wire feeds through. It passes the welding current to the wire as it comes out, which is what gives you a stable arc. Tips wear with use, so they’re a regular replacement consumable.
How many tips come in a pack?
This pack contains 10 contact tips. Because they wear over time, having a few spares to hand saves stopping a job to hunt for one. Swapping a worn tip for a fresh one takes moments.
Do I need a particular size?
Contact tips are sized to suit the wire diameter and the torch, so check your torch and wire before fitting. If you’re not sure which size you need, your torch documentation will tell you, or call the yard on 0118 9242888.
