For professional welders and DIY enthusiasts seeking improved precision and durability in their MIG welding projects, these Loops 1.2mm Aluminium Contact Tips offer optimal performance for compatible torches. While they provide excellent material flow and consistent arc, their specific compatibility means they are not a universal fit for all MIG welding machines. This 5-pack ensures you have a reliable supply of high-quality consumables for MB25 and MB36 torch models used with Powermig 2750, 3500, and 4500 series welders.

These contact tips are specifically designed for welding aluminium. For steel, you would typically need a different type of contact tip, often made of copper or a copper alloy, with a different aperture size depending on the steel wire diameter.
Aluminium contact tips are made of a material that is compatible with aluminium welding processes, offering good conductivity and helping to prevent potential issues like aluminium buildup or 'galling' inside the tip that can occur with less suitable materials.
The lifespan of a contact tip varies based on usage frequency, amperage, and material. It's recommended to clean it regularly and replace it when you notice signs of wear, such as an enlarged aperture, excessive spatter, or inconsistent wire feed, which typically impacts weld quality.
These tips are designed for specific torch models (MB25/MB36) and Powermig machines. While they might fit other torches with the same threading, optimal performance is guaranteed only with the specified compatible equipment.
The 1.2mm refers to the internal diameter of the contact tip's aperture, through which the welding wire passes. This size is generally suitable for common aluminium wire diameters used in MIG welding.
You can clean the contact tip using a wire brush or a dedicated contact tip cleaner tool. Gently remove any spatter or debris from both the inside and outside of the tip. Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining good electrical contact and weld quality.
Check if the contact tip is correctly installed and not clogged with debris or spatter. Ensure the tip aperture is not damaged or enlarged.
Verify the contact tip size (1.2mm) is appropriate for the wire diameter and welding parameters. Check for any signs of wear or damage on the tip.
Ensure the contact tip is screwed in fully and making secure contact with the torch neck and power pin. Clean mating surfaces if necessary.
Confirm you are using the correct tip for aluminium welding. Excessive heat can accelerate wear; ensure proper gas flow and welding technique.
