Bernard 1590 Mig Welder Contact Tip 0.045 Inch Wire Od

Product Description

The BERNARD 1590 is a non-threaded contact tip designed for MIG welding applications. It fits the Bernard Q Gun platform and accepts wire with a maximum outside diameter of 0.045 inches (1.2 mm). The contact tip is part of the 1500 Series and is engineered for fast changeover without threading, reducing downtime during wire changes or tip replacement. It is typically installed by welding technicians and fabricators performing MIG welding on light to medium-duty production or repair work. The non-threaded design simplifies removal and installation, and the geometry supports smooth shielding gas flow around the weld zone.

This contact tip is suited for shop and field MIG welding setups using the Bernard Q Gun. The 1500 Series tip is designed to deliver greater heat dissipation compared to standard threaded tips, which helps extend service life in higher-duty-cycle applications. It is a single-piece consumable sold individually and is appropriate for both production welding environments and maintenance repair operations where quick tip changes are a priority.

Installation Notes

Contact tips are installed and replaced by welding technicians or fabricators as a routine consumable. Always power down the welding machine and allow the gun to cool before replacing a contact tip. The non-threaded design seats by insertion rather than threading, so inspect the tip retainer and gun neck for wear before installing a new tip. Follow the gun manufacturer's guidance and applicable workplace safety procedures when servicing MIG gun consumables.
