11601782 - Tweco Velocity VTHET45 Contact Tip .045 Tapered Heavy Duty Extended (10-Pack)

Tweco Velocity VTHET45 Contact Tip (.045" Heavy Duty Extended)

Maximize the performance of your MIG welding operations with the Tweco Velocity VTHET45 Contact Tip. Engineered for professional welders who demand reliability and efficiency, this contact tip is part of the revolutionary Velocity consumable series. Designed specifically for 0.045-inch (1.2 mm) wire, the VTHET45 features a Tapered, Heavy Duty, Extended geometry. This unique shape allows for superior access into tight corners and complex joints while providing the thermal mass necessary for high-amperage applications.

The hallmark of the Velocity series is its innovative threadless, drop-in design. Unlike traditional threaded tips that can seize, cross-thread, or loosen over time, the Velocity tip sits securely in the conductor tube and is locked in place by the nozzle. This ensures a solid electrical connection and optimal thermal transfer, keeping the tip cooler during extended welding sessions. Furthermore, the Velocity tip integrates gas ports directly into the copper body, smoothing the flow of shielding gas and delivering it precisely to the weld pool for reduced porosity and spatter.

This pack contains 10 contact tips, ensuring you have ample stock for continuous production. The solid copper construction offers excellent conductivity and wear resistance. Whether you are using a Tweco Fusion MIG gun or a Spray Master equipped with Velocity conversion parts, the VTHET45 delivers the stability and arc control required for precision fabrication.

Key Benefits for Industrial Fabrication

• Cooler Operation: Integrated gas ports cool the tip internally, extending consumable life significantly compared to standard tips.
• Rapid Replacement: No tools required for installation; simply drop it in and secure the nozzle.
• Enhanced Access: The tapered and extended design improves visibility of the puddle in restricted spaces.
