11601615 - Tweco EL16-52 Eliminator Contact Tip for .052 Wire

Precision Tweco EL16-52 Contact Tips for Industrial Welding

In the demanding world of industrial fabrication, the integrity of your welding arc is only as good as the consumables you use. The Tweco 1160-1615 (EL16-52) Contact Tip is a premium OEM component designed to deliver consistent current transfer and superior arc stability for MIG welding applications utilizing .052-inch (1.3mm) wire. As part of the renowned Tweco Eliminator series, these contact tips are engineered to address the common frustrations of wire burn-back and erratic feeding, ensuring that your production lines remain active and efficient.

The EL16-52 contact tip is manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, selected specifically for its thermal and electrical conductivity properties. This material choice helps to dissipate the intense heat generated during the welding process, thereby extending the service life of the tip and reducing the frequency of changeovers. The internal bore is precision-drilled to tight tolerances, providing the optimal clearance for .052" wire. This precision minimizes the wandering of the wire as it exits the gun, allowing for more accurate weld placement and better bead profile control, which is critical in structural and heavy-equipment manufacturing.

Designed for compatibility, this contact tip fits the Tweco Spraymaster 250 and other MIG guns equipped with the Eliminator front-end consumable system. The Eliminator series is celebrated for its streamlined design and ease of maintenance, and the EL16-52 is no exception. Its threaded base ensures a solid mechanical and electrical connection to the gas diffuser, preventing the loosening that can lead to resistance heating and premature failure. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless, or flux-cored applications, relying on genuine Tweco OEM parts like the 1160-1615 ensures that your equipment operates at the manufacturer's intended performance levels.

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime is costly. That is why we recommend stocking genuine Tweco consumables. The EL16-52 offers the reliability professional welders demand, reducing troubleshooting time and maximizing arc-on time. Upgrade your consumable inventory with the Tweco Eliminator series and experience the difference in weld quality and consumable longevity.
