The tip measures 1.5 inches in length and uses M8 x 1.25 threads for secure installation into compatible MIG gun necks. The bore ID is 0.054 inches and the OD is 0.375 inches, providing reliable wire guidance through the contact zone. Sold in packs of 25, this tip is suited for shops and field welders who cycle through tips at volume. MIG welding professionals and fabricators handling moderate to high duty-cycle work are the primary installers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis contact tip is designed for use with Tweco Weldskill MIG guns. It is appropriate for light industrial and fabrication environments where 0.045-inch wire is the standard consumable. The tip fits applications in structural tacking, sheet metal work, and general-purpose MIG welding where consistent wire-to-tip contact is critical for arc stability and bead quality. The 25-per-pack quantity makes it practical for service vans and shop consumable inventories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.045-inch wire size compatibility for standard MIG consumable wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.054-inch bore ID and 0.375-inch OD for precise wire guidance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eM8 x 1.25 thread pattern for secure, repeatable installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1.5-inch tip length suits standard Weldskill gun neck geometry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSold as 25 per pack for volume restocking efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with Tweco Weldskill MIG guns accepting M8 x 1.25 threaded contact tips and 0.045-inch wire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is performed by MIG welding technicians or fabricators during routine consumable replacement. Power down and de-energize the welder and allow the gun neck to cool completely before removing a spent tip. Use the appropriate tip wrench or pliers to unthread the worn tip and thread the replacement in by hand first, then snug with a tool — avoid overtightening, which can distort the bore. Inspect the gas diffuser and nozzle for spatter buildup during each tip change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.045 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBore ID\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.054 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.375 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread\u003c\/strong\u003e: M8 x 1.25\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePack Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 per pack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.05 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 608246373829\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TWECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1160-1426\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TWECO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51346865324338,"sku":"1160-1426","price":68.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310545897.jpg?v=1782092839","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/tweco-1160-1426-mig-contact-tip-0-045-in-25-pack","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
