Xtrweld 14T-45 Tapered Contact Tip 0.045 Inch Tweco Style Mig

Product Description

The XTRWELD 14T-45 is a tapered contact tip in the 14T series, designed for Tweco-style MIG welding guns. It measures 1.509 inches in overall length with a 0.250-inch body diameter and accepts 0.045-inch wire. The tip is marked with its part number and size for quick identification during changeouts. MIG gun consumables like this tip transfer welding current to the wire at the point of contact, and they wear with use. Replacement is a routine maintenance task performed by welding technicians and fabricators in shop and field environments.

This contact tip is suited for use with Tweco-style MIG guns rated from 180 amps to 450 amps. Compatible gun platforms include the Tweco Classic, Eliminator, Weldskill, Spray Master, Smoke Master, and Supra series. The tapered profile is appropriate for applications where gun-to-work clearance or nozzle geometry calls for a narrower tip nose. The 14T series fits the 14-series Tweco-style gun bodies commonly used in light industrial and heavy fabrication settings.

Installation Notes

Contact tip replacement is performed by welding technicians as part of routine gun maintenance. Power down the welder and allow the gun to cool before removing the nozzle and worn tip. Use the correct tip wrench or pliers to avoid cross-threading; hand-tighten until snug to ensure proper electrical contact. Inspect the gas diffuser and nozzle for spatter buildup while the tip is removed.
