The Multiquip MQ17163 Contact Tip.035 Med Heavy MT-400CCEHD is a genuine OEM contact tip designed for the MT400CCEHD. Sourced directly from Multiquip, this part meets the exact specifications required for consistent, reliable welding performance on compatible equipment. If you're servicing or restoring your MT400CCEHD, the part is the correct OEM replacement to ensure your setup performs as intended.
Key Features
- OEM-Matched Bore Diameter — Sized at .035" to match the wire gauge your MT400CCEHD is configured for, ensuring proper electrical conductivity and consistent arc transfer.
- Med Heavy Construction — Built to med heavy duty specification for increased service life under sustained welding cycles compared to standard-duty tips.
- Direct-Fit for MT400CCEHD — Engineered specifically for the MT400CCEHD torch assembly; threads and dimensions match the original component for a straightforward swap.
- Genuine Multiquip OEM Part — Supplied under Multiquip part number MQ17163, this is an authentic OEM component, not an aftermarket substitute.
- Arc Stability and Weld Quality — A correctly sized, unworn contact tip maintains a centered wire feed path, which directly affects arc stability, spatter levels, and finished weld integrity.
A contact tip is a consumable copper component seated at the end of a MIG welding torch that guides the welding wire and transfers the welding current to it at the point of contact. As current passes through, the tip experiences significant heat and electrical wear; over time the bore erodes, causing the wire to wander off-center, which leads to an unstable arc, increased spatter, and poor weld quality. Replacing the contact tip with the correct size and duty rating — in this case the .035" med heavy MQ17163 — restores proper wire alignment and current transfer, bringing weld performance back to spec.
