Tweco 1160-1751 Mig Contact Tip 0.030 Inch

Product Description

The TWECO 1160-1751 is a Velocity2a series MIG contact tip designed for wire feed welding applications. Contact tips are consumable components that guide the welding wire and transfer current to the arc. This tip is sized for 0.030-inch wire and is built with a single-thread design that reduces the total number of threaded connections compared to standard MIG consumables. The use of brass threads mating against hard stainless steel threads reduces the likelihood of seizing and cross-threading during replacement. It is installed by MIG welding technicians as part of routine consumable maintenance.

This contact tip fits into the Velocity series MIG gun system, which is engineered to simplify consumable changes and reduce downtime. The single-thread interface means fewer points of failure and faster tip swaps in production and fabrication environments. The tip is sold individually (UOM: Each) with a minimum order quantity of 10 units, making it suitable for shop stock replenishment in light manufacturing, automotive, and general fabrication settings where 0.030-inch wire is standard.

Key Features

• Sized for 0.030-inch MIG welding wire
• Single-thread design reduces seizing and cross-threading risk
• Brass-on-stainless thread pairing grips securely and resists loosening
• Tool-free replacement compatible with Velocity series MIG gun components
• Fixed threaded configuration maintains consistent flushness between nozzle opening and contact tip

Compatibility

Designed for use with TWECO Velocity series MIG gun consumable systems accepting 0.030-inch wire contact tips.

Installation Notes

Contact tip replacement is performed by MIG welding technicians as standard consumable maintenance. Always power down the welding machine and allow the gun neck to cool before handling consumables. Use the Velocity system's tool-free interface to unthread and replace the tip without additional hand tools. Inspect the nozzle and liner condition during each tip change to maintain consistent arc performance.
