Tweco 1160-1767 Mig Contact Tip 1/16 Inch

Product Description

The TWECO 1160-1767 is a Velocity2a MIG contact tip designed for 1/16 inch wire diameter applications. Contact tips are the terminal point of the welding current path, transferring amperage from the gun to the wire as it feeds through. This tip is part of the Tweco Velocity system, which reduces the total number of threaded connections compared to standard MIG consumable designs. The result is faster tip changes, reduced cross-threading risk, and more consistent arc performance during production welding. It is installed and serviced by MIG welders and fabricators working in shop or field environments.

This contact tip is suited for MIG welding applications using 1/16 inch solid or flux-core wire. The Velocity system uses a single set of threads rather than the two or three sets found on conventional MIG consumable assemblies. The brass threading mates against harder stainless steel components, which reduces seizing and cross-threading. This tip fits Tweco Velocity2a-compatible MIG gun configurations used in light industrial, fabrication, and production welding settings.

Key Features

• Designed for 1/16 inch wire diameter MIG welding
• Single-thread Velocity design reduces cross-threading and seizing risk compared to conventional multi-thread consumables
• Brass threading mates against stainless steel for a controlled grip that resists loosening
• Part of the Velocity2a system for tool-free or simplified tip changes
• Sold individually; minimum order quantity of 10 units

Compatibility

Designed for use with Tweco Velocity2a-compatible MIG gun assemblies accepting 1/16 inch contact tips. Confirm gun model compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Contact tip replacement is a routine task performed by MIG welders during consumable maintenance. Always power down the welder and allow the gun to cool before removing or installing contact tips. Use proper insulated gloves when handling recently used consumables. Ensure the tip is fully seated and hand-tightened according to the gun manufacturer's guidance before resuming welding.
