11601757 - Tweco VTM-116 Velocity2 MIG Contact Tip 1/16 Inch (10 Pack)

Advanced Conductivity with Tweco Velocity2 Technology

The Tweco Velocity2 VTM-116 Contact Tip (SKU: 11601757) represents a significant leap forward in MIG welding consumable technology. Designed specifically for use with 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) welding wire, these tips are engineered to deliver superior performance in medium-duty applications up to 250 amps. The defining feature of the Velocity2 series is its innovative threadless design. Unlike traditional contact tips that require threading and tools for installation, the VTM-116 utilizes a simple drop-in mechanism. This not only speeds up changeovers on the production line but also eliminates the common issue of cross-threading or seizing, ensuring that your welding operations remain efficient and uninterrupted.

Beyond ease of use, the Velocity2 design optimizes the electrical connection between the contact tip and the gas diffuser. The increased surface area contact ensures a more efficient transfer of welding current, which directly translates to a smoother, more stable arc. This stability is crucial for achieving high-quality welds with minimal spatter. Furthermore, the VTM-116 features a centered liner path that drastically improves wire feedability. By aligning the wire perfectly through the tip, friction is reduced, and the likelihood of wire shaving or erratic feeding is minimized, even when using softer wires or longer gun cables.

Durability and cost-effectiveness are also at the core of the VTM-116 design. Because the tip is held in place by the nozzle rather than threads, it can be easily rotated. If keyholing begins to occur on one side of the tip bore, the welder can simply rotate the tip to a fresh surface, effectively extending the lifespan of the consumable before a replacement is needed. This 10-pack of genuine Tweco tips ensures you have a reliable supply of high-performance consumables ready for your Tweco Spray Master MIG guns equipped with Velocity hardware.
