Welding Accessories

Welding accessories cover the gear that keeps arc equipment earning its keep: earth clamps and welding lead sets, Binzel-style heavy duty contact tips and tip holders, TIG insulators, heavy duty cable connectors rated to 500A, and machine spares such as solenoid valves. The range runs right up to workshop plant, including CIGWELD ESAB welding idler roller beds and 600kg positioners for pipe and vessel work.

Stocked brands include Cigweld, Unimig, Abicor Binzel, WIA, Torchmaster, Talarc and Kincrome, so fabricators can match genuine or compatible parts to the machines already on the floor.

What welding accessories should every fabrication shop keep on hand?

• Contact tips and tip holders sized to your MIG torch — they wear faster than anything else on the machine.
• A heavy duty earth clamp and lead set rated at or above your welder's maximum output.
• Cable connectors and adaptors so leads can be extended or swapped between machines without downtime.

WeldCo supplies welding accessories to fabricators and maintenance crews from its Melbourne and Adelaide trade branches, with advice from people who weld.
