11401177 - Tweco EL1135 Eliminator Contact Tip 0.035 Inch (25 Pack)

Precision Tweco EL1135 Contact Tips for Eliminator Series

The Tweco EL1135 Contact Tip is a premium consumable component engineered specifically for the Tweco Eliminator series of MIG welding guns. This product comes in a convenient package of 25, making it an ideal choice for industrial fabrication shops, manufacturing lines, and professional welders who require a steady supply of reliable consumables. The EL1135 is machined to accommodate 0.035-inch (0.9 mm) welding wire, one of the most common diameters used in general steel fabrication, automotive repair, and light-to-medium structural work.

Tweco's Eliminator series is designed with the operator in mind, focusing on comfort and efficiency. The contact tip plays a critical role in this system by acting as the final transfer point for the welding current into the wire electrode. The EL1135 features a robust copper alloy construction that provides excellent thermal conductivity and electrical transfer efficiency. This ensures that the arc remains stable and consistent, even during extended welding sessions. The specific geometry of the Eliminator tip allows for a secure mechanical connection to the gas diffuser, which aids in heat dissipation and prevents the loosening that can occur due to thermal cycling.

Using genuine Tweco parts like the EL1135 ensures that your equipment operates within its specified parameters. Generic or ill-fitting tips can lead to poor electrical contact, resulting in micro-arcing inside the tip bore. This micro-arcing creates friction and drag on the wire, leading to erratic feeding, bird-nesting at the drive rolls, and ultimately, a poor quality weld. The precision bore of the EL1135 minimizes these risks, providing a smooth path for the wire while maintaining the necessary electrical contact.

Maintenance of your MIG gun is essential for quality results. Contact tips are consumable items that wear out over time due to the abrasive nature of the moving wire and the intense heat of the welding arc. As the bore wears into an oval shape, the electrical connection becomes intermittent. Having a 25-pack of EL1135 tips on hand allows operators to replace worn tips immediately, maintaining high productivity and weld quality without waiting for parts. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or using flux-cored wires compatible with this diameter, the Tweco EL1135 delivers the performance professionals expect from the Tweco brand.
