Caps and Electrodes are available in industry standard (RWMA) tapers to provide a
water tight seal between the cap, shank and holder or between the Electrode and
Holder.
• Typical tapers are 4, 5, 6, & 7.
• The taper used is based on the current and pressure required for a given weld. The
higher the current/pressure, the larger (the taper number) taper will be used.
• Caps, Electrodes and Shanks are available in either Male or Female configurations
