Tweco 1160-1750 Mig Contact Tip 0.023 Inch

Product Description

The TWECO 1160-1750 is a MIG welding contact tip designed for use in the Velocity2a torch system. The contact tip is the consumable through which the welding wire feeds, transferring current to the wire at the point of contact. This tip is sized for 0.023 inch wire diameter. It measures 1.31 inches in length and 0.44 inches in width, and weighs 0.03 pounds. The Velocity system uses a single set of threads rather than the two or three sets found on conventional MIG consumables, reducing the risk of seizing and cross-threading during field replacement. Welding professionals and shop technicians performing MIG wire-feed welding will find this tip a direct fit for compatible Velocity torches.

This contact tip is intended for light-gauge MIG welding applications where 0.023 inch solid or flux-core wire is specified. It is suited for use in fabrication shops, body shops, and light manufacturing environments. The Velocity design allows tip replacement without additional tools, reducing downtime during consumable changes. Sold in a minimum quantity of 10 per order, making it appropriate for stocking as a shop consumable.

Installation Notes

Contact tip replacement is performed by welding technicians as routine torch maintenance. Always power down the welding machine and allow the torch to cool before removing or installing contact tips. The Velocity system is designed for tool-free tip removal, but care should be taken not to over-tighten the replacement tip, which can cause thread damage. Inspect the nozzle and liner condition whenever replacing the contact tip.
