Tweco 1160-1616 Mig Contact Tip 0.062 in Eliminator

Product Description

The TWECO 1160-1616 is an Eliminator Series MIG welding contact tip designed for use with 250 to 650 amp Tweco Eliminator MIG guns. It accepts 0.062 inch (1/16 inch) wire and features a 0.073 inch inner diameter bore with a 0.345 inch outer diameter. The tip measures 1.5 inches in length and is sold individually. Built with a patented extended-life design, this contact tip is engineered to outlast standard consumables in high-amperage MIG welding applications. It is installed by welding technicians and fabricators as a routine consumable replacement on Eliminator-style gun assemblies.

This contact tip is intended for MIG welding setups running Tweco Eliminator series guns rated between 250 and 650 amps. It is suited for production welding environments where consumable longevity and consistent wire feed contact are critical. The 0.062 inch wire size compatibility makes it appropriate for mid-range wire diameters common in structural, fabrication, and industrial welding work. Its extended-life construction reduces changeout frequency in high-duty-cycle operations.

Installation Notes

Contact tips are replaced by welding technicians as standard consumable maintenance on MIG gun assemblies. Always power down and disconnect the welding machine before removing or installing contact tips. Allow the gun neck and tip to cool fully before handling to avoid burns. Hand-tighten the tip securely into the gun diffuser to ensure proper electrical contact and wire feed alignment.
