Victor 11401301 Mig Welder Contact Tip Tapered Base

Product Description

The VICTOR 11401301 is a tapered-base contact tip designed for MIG welding applications. It accepts wire up to 0.03 inches in outside diameter and features a tapered threaded connection type, making it compatible with Eliminator Style gas diffusers. The tip is rated at a 0.0380 tip size and delivers consistent electrical conductivity throughout the weld cycle. Licensed welding professionals and fabricators install this component as a consumable part of the MIG gun assembly. Its design supports easy identification in the shop or field, reducing downtime during tip changes.

This contact tip is intended for use with No. 2 and No. 4 MIG guns in light to medium-duty welding setups. It is sold individually and suits applications where 0.8 mm wire is the standard consumable. The tapered base seats securely in compatible diffuser assemblies, maintaining stable arc performance during continuous or intermittent MIG welding operations in fabrication, maintenance, and repair environments.

• Tapered threaded base connection for secure seating in compatible diffusers
• Accepts wire up to 0.03 inches (0.80 mm) outside diameter
• Eliminator Style gas diffuser compatibility
• Excellent electrical properties for consistent arc performance
• Easy identification marking for quick selection during tip changes
• Series 14 tip sizing for straightforward replacement sourcing

Compatibility

Designed for use with No. 2 and No. 4 MIG guns. Compatible with Eliminator Style gas diffusers. Intended for wire with a maximum outside diameter of 0.03 inches (0.80 mm).

Installation Notes

Contact tips are installed and replaced by welding technicians or fabricators as a routine consumable service task. Always power down and disconnect the MIG gun from the welder before replacing the contact tip to avoid electrical shock. Use the appropriate tip wrench to thread the tapered base into the gas diffuser — hand-tighten and snug with a wrench without overtightening, as over-torquing can deform the tapered seat. Inspect the diffuser for spatter buildup and clean or replace as needed when changing the contact tip.
