Tweco 1160-1760 Mig Contact Tip 0.030 Inch

Product Description

The TWECO 1160-1760 is a Velocity2a series MIG contact tip designed for wire feed welding applications. Rated for 0.030 inch wire diameter, this contact tip is engineered around a single-thread design that reduces the total number of threaded connections compared to conventional MIG consumables. Brass threads mate against hardened stainless steel to resist seizing and cross-threading under repeated thermal cycling. The result is a contact tip that installs and removes without hand tools, reducing downtime during nozzle changes. Welding professionals and maintenance crews working with MIG torches will find this tip a direct, tool-free replacement in Velocity2a-compatible torch assemblies.

This contact tip is suited for light to medium gauge MIG welding on production lines, fabrication shops, and maintenance welding stations. The 0.030 inch bore accommodates standard solid and flux-core wire at that diameter. The Fixed Threaded configuration maintains a consistent flush relationship between the contact tip and the nozzle opening, which supports repeatable arc starts and consistent weld geometry. Shops running high-volume welding cycles benefit from the reduced thread seizing that comes from the brass-on-stainless thread pairing. The tip ships individually and is sold in a minimum quantity of 10 units.

Key Features

• Single-thread design reduces cross-threading and seizing compared to two- or three-thread conventional MIG consumables
• Brass threads mate against hardened stainless steel for reduced galling under heat cycling
• Tool-free installation and removal speeds up consumable changes at the torch
• Fixed Threaded style maintains consistent nozzle-to-tip flush relationship for repeatable arc geometry
• 0.030 inch bore sized for standard MIG wire at that diameter

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement contact tip for Velocity2a series MIG torch assemblies. Install only in torch configurations that accept the Velocity2a thread-and-fit specification.

Installation Notes

Contact tip replacement is performed by licensed welding technicians or qualified maintenance personnel. De-energize the welder and allow the torch to cool completely before removing the nozzle and contact tip. Use the torch manufacturer's recommended procedure for seating the tip to the correct depth. Inspect the wire liner and drive rolls for wear any time contact tips are replaced.
