11401171 - Tweco 14-116 WeldSkill Contact Tip 1/16 Inch (25-Pack)

Reliable Performance with Tweco WeldSkill 14-116 Contact Tips

The Tweco 14-116 WeldSkill Contact Tip is a staple consumable for professional welders utilizing 1/16-inch (1.6mm) welding wire. Part of the renowned WeldSkill line, these contact tips are engineered to provide the perfect balance between professional-grade performance and economic value. Designed to fit the industry-standard Tweco 14 Series platform, they are compatible with a wide range of MIG guns, including the classic Tweco No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4, as well as the Spray Master series. This versatility makes them an essential inventory item for fabrication shops and industrial maintenance departments.

Manufactured from high-quality copper alloy, these tips are designed to withstand the intense heat and electrical current associated with heavy-duty MIG and Flux-Cored welding. The bore is precision-drilled to strict tolerances, ensuring that the 1/16" wire feeds smoothly without snagging or wandering. This precise fit is critical for maintaining consistent electrical contact (current transfer) between the tip and the wire, which directly influences arc stability and weld bead geometry. Poor contact can lead to micro-arcing within the tip, causing premature failure and burnback; Tweco's manufacturing standards minimize this risk.

The 14-116 tip features a standard 1/4"-28 UNF thread, allowing for easy installation into standard gas diffusers. The "116" designation clearly indicates its compatibility with 0.062" (1.6mm) diameter wires, commonly used in structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment repair, and shipbuilding. Sold in a convenient package of 25, this bulk option ensures that welders have a ready supply of fresh tips, reducing downtime and keeping production lines moving efficiently. Whether you are running solid wire or flux-cored wire, the Tweco 14-116 delivers the consistency required for high-quality welds.
