Tweco 1160-1607 Tapered Mig Contact Tip 0.046 in Aluminum

Product Description

The TWECO 1160-1607 is a tapered contact tip from the Tweco Eliminator Series, designed for MIG welding applications using aluminum wire. This tip features a 0.046-inch wire size designation with a 0.059-inch bore ID and a 0.345-inch OD. At 1.5 inches in length, the tip uses a patented construction engineered for extended service life compared to standard contact tips. It is sold individually and is intended for installation by certified welders or welding equipment technicians maintaining MIG gun consumables.

This contact tip is designed for use with 250 to 650 amp Tweco Eliminator MIG guns specifically when working with aluminum wire. The tapered geometry and bore diameter are matched to 3/64-inch aluminum wire feed, making this tip well suited for high-amperage aluminum MIG welding in fabrication shops, manufacturing environments, and heavy industrial settings where Eliminator Series guns are in service.
