Victor 11601604 Mig Welder Contact Tip 0.045 in Tapered

Product Description

The VICTOR 11601604 is a tapered-base MIG welder contact tip designed for use in MIG welding guns operating at up to 200 amps. Constructed from copper alloy tubing, this tip accepts wire up to 0.045 inches (1.20 mm) outside diameter and features a patented contact tip design. The tapered base connection mates with compatible gas diffusers for a secure, low-resistance electrical connection at the point of wire feed. It is sized for Series 16 mating components. Installation is handled by welding technicians and MIG welding professionals during routine tip replacement or setup.

This contact tip is rated for use with 250 Amp and 450 Amp Eliminator MIG guns. It is suited to production welding, fabrication shops, and field welding applications where consistent wire-to-tip contact is critical for arc stability and weld quality. The 0.045-inch bore accommodates common solid and flux-core wire diameters at that gauge. Sold individually, making it a practical replacement or spare for active welding operations.

Installation Notes

Contact tip replacement is performed by qualified welding technicians. Always power down and disconnect the welding machine before changing consumables. Use the appropriate tip wrench or pliers to remove the spent tip and thread in the replacement by hand first to avoid cross-threading. Ensure the mating gas diffuser is clean and free of spatter buildup before installing the new tip.
