11601758 - Tweco VTM-116 Velocity Contact Tip 1/16-Inch (10-Pack)

High-Performance Tweco Velocity Contact Tips

The Tweco 1160-1758 (VTM-116) Velocity Contact Tip is a premium consumable designed to enhance the performance of your MIG welding operations. Engineered for use with 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) welding wire, this contact tip is part of the revolutionary Velocity series, which represents a significant leap forward in MIG gun technology. Unlike traditional contact tips that rely on threads—which can seize, cross-thread, or loosen over time—the Velocity system utilizes a threadless, drop-in design. This innovation ensures a secure mechanical fit and optimal electrical connection every time, reducing downtime associated with consumable changes.

Manufactured from high-quality copper, the VTM-116 tip is built to withstand the rigors of industrial welding environments. The design features integrated gas ports that allow shielding gas to flow around and through the tip, keeping it significantly cooler during high-amperage welding. This active cooling effect extends the life of the tip and maintains a stable arc for longer periods. The "VTM" designation indicates a medium-taper profile, which strikes an excellent balance between durability and joint access, making it suitable for a wide range of fabrication tasks.

At Josef Gas, we understand that consistent current transfer is critical for quality welds. The Velocity contact tip's large surface area contact with the gas diffuser ensures efficient power transmission, minimizing voltage drop and heat buildup. This pack contains 10 contact tips, ensuring you have an ample supply for your production needs. Whether you are welding structural steel, heavy machinery, or performing general fabrication, upgrading to Tweco Velocity consumables can streamline your workflow and improve weld quality.
