16S-35 - Tweco Style 16S-35 Heavy Duty Contact Tip for .035 Wire (1160-1102 Replacement)

High-Performance Generic Replacement for Tweco 16S-35

The Tweco Style 16S-35 Contact Tip is a premium-quality generic replacement designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial MIG welding. Engineered as a direct alternative to the Tweco 1160-1102, this contact tip is compatible with standard Tweco No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6 MIG guns, as well as other MIG guns that utilize the 16S series heavy-duty consumables. It is specifically sized for .035-inch (0.9 mm) welding wire, making it a staple component for fabrication shops and manufacturing environments.

Manufactured from high-grade copper alloy tubing, this contact tip is built to withstand high heat and electrical stress. It is rated for heavy-duty applications up to 600 amperes, ensuring it maintains structural integrity and electrical performance during prolonged welding cycles. The manufacturing process adheres to strict quality control standards, holding the inside diameter tolerance to +/- .003 inches. This precision minimizes friction and ensures a consistent, smooth wire feed, which is critical for maintaining arc stability and weld quality.

Identification and inventory management are simplified thanks to clear markings on each tip, displaying the part number and wire diameter. The threaded base design ensures a tight, conductive connection with the gas diffuser, reducing electrical resistance and heat buildup at the joint. Whether used in manual or automated welding setups, this generic 16S-35 tip provides a reliable, cost-effective solution for maintaining your welding equipment.
