At 0.373 inches in outer diameter and sized for 0.045-inch wire, this tip fits Tweco-style MIG guns rated from 250A to 600A. It is an OEM-quality replacement consumable intended for professional welders and maintenance technicians who run high-duty-cycle MIG equipment. The part number is marked directly on the tip for fast identification during changeovers, reducing downtime on the wire feeder or gun assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis contact tip is suited for use in Tweco-style MIG gun setups across industrial and fabrication environments. Compatible gun lines include the Classic, Eliminator, Weldskill, Spray Master, Smoke Master, and Supra series Tweco-style platforms rated 250A through 600A. Typical applications include structural fabrication, heavy manufacturing, and maintenance welding where 0.045-inch solid or flux-core wire is the standard consumable. The tapered profile promotes consistent wire guidance and arc stability in high-amperage spray and short-circuit transfer processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTapered profile sized for 0.045-inch MIG wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e0.373-inch outer diameter fits Tweco 16ST series gun bodies\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Tweco-style guns rated 250A to 600A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePart number marked on tip for quick field identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOEM-quality construction interchangeable with Tweco Weldskill consumables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for Tweco-style MIG guns rated 250A to 600A, including Classic, Eliminator, Weldskill, Spray Master, Smoke Master, and Supra series platforms.

Always power down the welder and allow the gun to cool before removing a spent tip. Use a tip wrench or appropriate pliers to unthread the old tip and install the replacement snug-tight — do not overtighten, as this can restrict wire feed. Inspect the liner and gas diffuser for wear whenever contact tips are replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16ST Tapered\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.045 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOuter Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.373 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGun Amperage Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 250A to 600A\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.36 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 840349221229\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: XTRWELD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 16ST-45\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"XTRWELD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51343298625842,"sku":"16ST-45","price":25.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310546710.jpg?v=1782019912","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/xtrweld-16st-45-tapered-contact-tip-0-045-inch-mig","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
