OVERVIEW

Reliable Performance with Tweco WeldSkill WS14-30 Contact Tips

For welders seeking consistent quality and reliable performance in their MIG welding operations, the Tweco WeldSkill WS14-30 Contact Tip is an essential consumable. Specifically engineered for use with 0.030-inch (0.8mm) welding wire, these contact tips are part of the renowned Tweco WeldSkill series, known for delivering professional-grade results at an economical price point. This package contains 25 contact tips, making it an excellent choice for fabrication shops, automotive repair centers, and serious hobbyists who require a steady supply of consumables.

Precision Engineering for Smooth Feeding

The contact tip is the final point of electrical transfer to the welding wire, making its quality paramount to arc stability. The WS14-30 features a precision-drilled bore that accommodates 0.030" wire with optimal tolerance. This ensures that the wire feeds smoothly without snagging or dragging, while still maintaining sufficient contact with the copper wall to transfer the welding current effectively. The result is a stable, focused arc that reduces spatter and improves bead appearance.

Compatibility and Durability

These contact tips are designed to fit the industry-standard Tweco 14 Series platform. They are compatible with a wide range of MIG guns, including the Tweco No. 1, Tweco Mini-MIG, and various WeldSkill 140/180 guns found on popular welding machines. Constructed from high-quality copper alloy, they resist the intense heat of the welding arc and mechanical wear from the moving wire. The standard 1/4"-28 UNF thread ensures a tight, secure fit into the gas diffuser, promoting efficient heat dissipation and preventing loosening during operation.

Maintenance and Replacement

Regularly replacing your contact tip is crucial for maintaining weld quality. Over time, the bore of the tip can wear into an oval shape ("keyholing"), leading to erratic arc wandering and poor electrical conductivity. With this convenient 25-pack, you can swap out worn tips immediately, ensuring your equipment always operates at peak efficiency. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless, or performing general repairs, the Tweco WS14-30 provides the consistency you need.

FAQ

The WS14-30 is designed specifically for 0.030-inch (0.8mm) welding wire.

Yes, the WS14-30 fits Tweco No. 1 MIG guns and other torches that utilize the standard 14-series consumables.

This product (SKU 11401166) contains a package of 25 contact tips.

These tips feature a standard 1/4"-28 UNF thread, common to the Tweco 14 series.

Yes, as long as the flux-cored wire diameter is 0.030 inches, this tip will work. However, always check if your specific wire requires a slightly larger tip due to flux coating variances, though 0.030" is standard.

They are made from a high-quality copper alloy designed for optimal electrical conductivity and heat resistance.

'WS' stands for WeldSkill, which is Tweco's line of high-quality, economical welding products.

Replace the tip if the exit hole becomes oval (keyholed), if the arc becomes erratic, or if the wire fuses to the tip (burnback).
