Tweco 1160-1125 Mig Contact Tip 5/64 Inch 200 Amp

Product Description

The TWECO 1160-1125 is a copper alloy MIG contact tip designed for heavy-duty welding applications up to 200 amperes. Machined from extruded or gun-drilled copper alloy tubing, it delivers a consistent and smooth inside diameter surface that promotes stable arc performance and reliable wire feed. The inside diameter tolerance is held to plus or minus 0.003 inches, ensuring precise wire contact throughout the weld. This contact tip is marked with the part number and wire diameter for easy field identification. It is sold individually and suited for professional welding environments where consistent electrical transfer is critical.

This contact tip is intended for use in heavy-duty MIG welding setups, specifically with Eliminator style gas diffusers in threaded or twist-lock configurations. It accommodates 5/64 inch wire diameter and is rated for applications up to 200 amps. Typical install scenarios include fabrication shops, structural welding, and industrial maintenance environments where high-cycle MIG gun use demands reliable consumable performance. Licensed welding professionals and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers.
