Tweco 1160-1619 EL16 Mig Contact Tip 3/32 Inch Eliminator

Product Description

The TWECO 1160-1619 is an EL16 series contact tip designed for MIG welding applications requiring 3/32-inch wire. It features an inside diameter of 0.09 inches and an outside diameter of 0.345 inches, with an overall length of 1.5 inches. This tip is part of the Tweco Eliminator line, a patented family of extended-life consumables engineered specifically for Eliminator style MIG guns rated from 250 to 650 amps. Licensed welding technicians and industrial maintenance professionals install this tip as a direct consumable replacement during routine gun maintenance or wire-feed changeovers.

The 1160-1619 contact tip is suited for heavy-duty MIG welding environments where high amperage output and continuous duty cycles demand longer consumable service life. It is intended for use with Tweco Eliminator MIG guns operating in the 250 to 650 amp range, making it applicable in fabrication shops, structural welding, and heavy manufacturing settings where downtime from frequent tip replacement is a concern.

Installation Notes

Contact tips are installed and replaced by qualified welding technicians or maintenance personnel. Always power down the welder and allow the gun neck to cool before replacing a contact tip. Use the correct tip wrench to avoid cross-threading or overtightening the tip body. Inspect the gas diffuser and nozzle for wear or spatter buildup at each tip replacement interval.
