1 Short contact tips are generally recommended to give proper wire stick out for flux cored wire welding.
2 Medium contact tips are generally recommended to give proper wire stick out for spray transfer Mig welding.
3 Long contact tips are generally recommended to give good visibility and proper wire stick out for dip transferring welding.
* The use of Heavy Duty tips & tubes and Extra Heavy Duty threaded nozzles extends the rating of the MT-400 to 500 amps @ 60% duty cycle
