Value Collection 316030010 Mig Welder Contact Tip 0.023 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 316030010 is a MIG welder contact tip designed for use with Tweco-style MIG welding guns. The contact tip serves as the final point of electrical contact between the welding machine and the wire electrode, transferring current to the wire as it feeds through the gun. This tip is sized for a maximum wire outside diameter of 0.023 inches, making it suited for light-gauge wire applications. It is a consumable component that welding technicians and fabricators replace on a regular basis as part of routine gun maintenance to maintain arc quality and consistent wire feed.

This contact tip is intended for use in MIG welding applications where Tweco-compatible gun components are in service. Typical installation scenarios include production welding, light fabrication, automotive bodywork, and general repair welding where smaller-diameter wire is used. The 0.023-inch sizing is commonly associated with thin-material welding applications. This tip is sold individually and is well suited for shop environments that replace tips on a per-gun or per-job basis.

Installation Notes

Contact tip replacement is performed by welding technicians or fabricators as part of routine MIG gun maintenance. Always disconnect or power down the welding machine before removing or installing a contact tip. Use the appropriate tip wrench or pliers to avoid cross-threading the tip into the gun neck. Inspect the gas diffuser and nozzle for wear or spatter buildup while the tip is removed.
