How to use the parts in the kit
- Gas nozzle: use with solid wire (such as ER70S-6) and shielding gas.
- Gasless nozzle: use with self-shielded flux-core wire and no gas.
- Diffuser: the threaded piece that holds the contact tip and spreads the gas. Replace it if the threads are worn or clogged.
- Contact tip: match the .035 bore to .035 wire.
Compatibility checklist
- Find your welder or gun model on the lists above.
- Compare the thread and length of your old tip, diffuser and nozzle with the kit.
- Confirm you run .035 wire. A different size needs different tips.
- Do not use this kit for aluminum welding. Aluminum needs its own tips, liner and usually a spool gun.
