Bernard 403-21-35 Mig Welder Contact Tip Tapered

Product Description

The BERNARD 403-21-35 is a tapered contact tip designed for MIG welding applications. The contact tip is a consumable wear part that threads into the front of a MIG gun and guides the welding wire through the torch assembly while transferring electrical current to the wire at the point of arc initiation. Proper tip selection directly affects arc stability, wire feed consistency, and weld quality. This replacement tip is intended for installation by welding professionals and maintenance technicians performing routine torch maintenance or in-field repairs.

This tapered contact tip is suited for MIG welding setups where a tapered tip profile is required by the gun or nozzle assembly. Tapered tips are commonly used in compact gun designs and tight-access welding positions. The part ships individually and is appropriate for shops, field service crews, and production environments that maintain BERNARD MIG gun equipment and require a direct OEM-style spare part for fast turnaround during tip changes.

• Individual unit packaging suitable for single-tip replacement needs
• Lightweight construction at approximately 0.025 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement contact tip for BERNARD MIG welding gun assemblies requiring a tapered tip configuration. Refer to your gun or torch documentation to confirm tip thread size and wire diameter compatibility before installation.

Installation Notes

Contact tip replacement is performed by welding technicians as part of standard MIG gun maintenance. Before servicing, disconnect the welder from its power source and allow the torch to cool completely. Use the appropriate tip wrench or pliers to remove the worn tip and thread in the replacement, taking care not to cross-thread or overtighten. Verify wire diameter compatibility between the new tip and the wire spool loaded in the feeder before resuming welding operations.
