Pro-source 16S-116 Mig Welder Contact Tip 1/16 in

Product Description

The PRO-SOURCE 16S-116 is a MIG welder contact tip designed for use with wire electrodes measuring 1/16 inch in diameter. The contact tip is the current-carrying component at the end of a MIG gun that guides the wire and transfers welding current to it. Proper tip selection is critical for arc stability and consistent weld quality. This tip measures 1.5 inches in length and 0.37 inches in diameter, making it a compact, direct-fit component suited to standard MIG gun assemblies. Welders and fabricators install these as routine consumables during production or maintenance work.

This contact tip is intended for MIG welding applications where 1/16 inch wire is used. That wire diameter is common in higher-amperage applications such as structural fabrication, heavy-gauge sheet metal, and general industrial welding. The tip is sold individually per package, with a minimum order quantity of 10 pieces, making it practical for shops that stock consumables in bulk to minimize downtime during high-volume welding operations.

Key Features

• Designed for 1/16 inch minimum and maximum wire outside diameter
• Compact form factor at 1.5 inches length and 0.37 inches width
• Sold individually per package for flexible inventory management
• Routine consumable replacement suitable for production welding environments

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement contact tip for MIG welding guns that accept tips sized for 1/16 inch wire electrodes. Verify gun thread size and tip seat geometry against your specific MIG gun model before ordering.

Installation Notes

Contact tips are installed and replaced by welders or maintenance technicians as standard consumable service. Always power down the welder and allow the gun to cool before removing a worn tip. Use the correct tip wrench or pliers to avoid damaging the gas diffuser or gun neck threads. Inspect the diffuser and nozzle for spatter buildup whenever a tip is replaced.
