Tweco 1160-1605 Tapered Contact Tip 0.052 in Mig

Product Description

The TWECO 1160-1605 is a tapered MIG welding contact tip engineered for the Tweco Eliminator Series of high-amperage MIG guns. It accepts 0.052-inch wire through a 0.064-inch inner bore and measures 1.5 inches in length with a 0.345-inch outer diameter. This patented tip is built for extended service life compared to standard contact tips, making it a reliable consumable choice for demanding MIG welding operations. Professional welders and MIG gun technicians working in fabrication, heavy manufacturing, and structural welding applications will find this tip suited for high-duty-cycle environments.

The 1160-1605 is designed specifically for Tweco Eliminator style MIG guns rated from 250 to 650 amps. Its tapered geometry promotes consistent electrical contact and smooth wire feed at the tip, which is critical during continuous or semi-automatic welding runs. This tip is sold individually and is a direct consumable replacement for Eliminator gun setups already in the field.

Installation Notes

Contact tip replacement is a standard consumable service task performed by welders and MIG gun technicians. Always power down the welding machine and allow the gun neck to cool before removing a worn tip. Use the appropriate tip wrench or pliers to avoid cross-threading when installing the replacement. Inspect the liner and gas diffuser for wear at the same service interval to maintain consistent wire feed and shielding gas flow.
