Value Collection 316030012 Mig Contact Tip 0.035 in

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 316030012 is a MIG welder contact tip designed for use in wire-feed MIG welding guns and torches. The contact tip is the point of electrical transfer between the welding machine and the wire electrode, making it a wear item that requires regular replacement during production or fabrication work. This tip accommodates a maximum wire outside diameter of 0.035 inches and is specified for use with Tweco-style MIG welding equipment. At 0.1 pounds, it is a lightweight consumable suited for high-frequency replacement in active welding operations. Installation and replacement are handled by welding technicians and fabricators as part of routine torch maintenance.

This contact tip is intended for MIG welding applications where 0.035-inch diameter wire electrode is used. Tweco-style torches are widely used in light industrial, fabrication shop, and maintenance welding environments. The tip fits into the front end of the welding gun assembly and ensures consistent current transfer and wire guidance during the weld. It is sold individually, making it practical for single-tip replacement without purchasing a bulk pack. This consumable is appropriate for both shop and field MIG welding setups using compatible Tweco torch configurations.

Installation Notes

Contact tip replacement is performed by welding technicians as part of standard torch consumable maintenance. Always power down the welding machine and allow the torch to cool completely before removing or installing a contact tip. Use the appropriate torch wrench or pliers to unthread the worn tip and thread in the replacement — do not overtighten, as contact tips require occasional removal during service. Inspect the gas nozzle and liner for wear at the same time to maintain consistent weld quality.
