11601771 - Tweco VTH-1/8 Velocity Contact Tips (10-Pack)

Heavy-Duty Conductivity with Tweco Velocity VTH-1/8

The Tweco 1160-1771 (VTH-1/8) Contact Tips are engineered for heavy industrial welding applications requiring 1/8-inch (3.2mm) wire. Part of the innovative Velocity consumable series, these tips represent a significant leap forward in MIG gun performance and maintenance efficiency. Unlike traditional contact tips that rely on threads for connection—which can degrade, seize, or limit electrical flow—the Velocity system utilizes a threadless, drop-in design.

This package contains 10 heavy-duty contact tips designed to integrate seamlessly with Tweco Velocity-equipped MIG guns. The VTH-1/8 model is specifically sized for large-diameter wires often used in flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) or heavy-deposition MIG processes. The absence of threads allows for a larger mass of copper and a more direct seating against the gas diffuser. This solid copper conductive path ensures optimal electrical transfer, reducing resistance and heat buildup at the contact point.

For industrial operators, this translates to reduced downtime. Changing a tip requires no tools; simply unscrew the nozzle and drop the new tip in. The cooler operating temperature minimizes the adhesion of spatter and extends the lifespan of the tip, making the Tweco 1160-1771 a cost-effective choice for high-volume fabrication environments.
