The Tweco 1110-1314 (Model VTS-52) represents a significant evolution in MIG welding consumable technology, belonging to the proprietary Velocity series. These contact tips are engineered specifically for use with 0.052-inch (1.4 mm) solid or flux-cored welding wires. Unlike traditional contact tips that rely on threads for retention and electrical contact, the Velocity VTS-52 utilizes a threadless, drop-in architecture. This design allows the tip to seat firmly into the gas diffuser, secured by the nozzle, creating a large surface area for electrical transfer. This "Solid Copper Conductor Path" minimizes electrical resistance and heat generation at the connection point, addressing a common failure mode in high-amperage welding environments.
The VTS designation indicates a "Standard" tip geometry, suitable for a wide range of fabrication tasks where access is not severely restricted. The tips are manufactured from high-grade copper alloy to withstand the thermal cycling inherent in industrial welding. The integration of gas ports within the consumable stack ensures that shielding gas flows directly over the tip surface, providing active cooling that extends consumable life and reduces the frequency of spatter adhesion. This pack contains 10 units, ensuring sufficient inventory for production shifts.
Compatibility is strictly limited to MIG guns equipped with the Velocity consumable platform, including the Tweco Fusion series and Spray Master guns that have been converted to or manufactured with V-Series front-end parts. The precise bore tolerance of the VTS-52 ensures consistent wire feeding and arc targeting, critical for automated or high-quality manual welding procedures.
