Tweco 1160-1759 Mig Contact Tip 5/64 Inch

Product Description

The TWECO 1160-1759 is a Velocity2a series MIG contact tip designed for use with Tweco Velocity MIG welding systems. The tip feeds wire at a consistent rate through a 5/64-inch bore, maintaining reliable electrical contact between the wire and the weld pool. At 0.03 pounds and 1.31 inches in length, this compact consumable is purpose-built for fast changeover. The Velocity design reduces the number of threaded connections to one, pairing brass threads on the tip against hardened stainless steel threads on the gooseneck. That soft-on-hard thread pairing resists seizing and cross-threading, extending service life and reducing downtime during production welding.

This contact tip suits MIG welding applications in fabrication, manufacturing, and maintenance environments where consistent wire feed and fast consumable replacement are priorities. It is sold individually and intended for replacement use in Tweco Velocity MIG gun assemblies. The no-tool removal design is well suited to high-cycle operations where technicians need to swap consumables quickly without wrenches or pliers.

Key Features

• 5/64-inch bore for precise wire contact and consistent current transfer
• Single-thread design reduces seizing and cross-threading compared to standard two- or three-thread MIG consumables
• Brass threads mate against hardened stainless steel gooseneck threads for a secure, tool-free grip
• Fixed threaded configuration maintains consistent flushness between contact tip and nozzle opening
• Compact at 1.31 inches long and 0.44 inches in diameter for use in tight weld access areas
• Sold individually — sold as a single unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement contact tip for use with Tweco Velocity MIG gun systems requiring a 5/64-inch wire size.

Installation Notes

Contact tips are installed and replaced by welders or MIG equipment technicians. Power down and de-energize the welding machine before replacing any contact tip. Allow the gun and tip to cool fully before handling to avoid burns. Hand-tighten only — the Velocity design does not require tools for installation or removal.
