11401306 - Tweco 14T-116 Contact Tip 1/16" (Pack of 25)

Tweco 14T-116 Standard Contact Tip (1/16") - Pack of 25

The Tweco 14T-116 (SKU: 1140-1306) is a standard-duty contact tip designed for MIG welding applications using 1/16-inch (1.6mm) wire. Part of the widely used 14 Series, these contact tips are engineered to fit Tweco No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 MIG guns, as well as many other MIG guns that utilize the industry-standard Tweco style front-end consumables. This package contains 25 individual contact tips, making it an ideal choice for industrial workshops and fabrication facilities requiring consistent inventory.

Manufactured from high-quality copper alloy, the 14T-116 offers excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. This ensures a stable arc and reduces the heat buildup that can lead to premature tip failure or wire burn-back. The internal bore is precision-drilled to tight tolerances, providing optimal contact with the welding wire while allowing for smooth feeding without drag. The exterior features the classic 14 Series profile with a 3/8"-24 UNF thread, allowing for quick and secure installation into compatible gas diffusers (such as the 54A or 54P series).

Regular replacement of contact tips is essential for maintaining weld quality. As the tip bore wears into an oval shape, electrical transfer becomes inconsistent, leading to micro-arcing inside the tip and unstable welding arcs. By stocking the 25-pack of 14T-116 tips, welders can ensure they always have a fresh tip ready, minimizing downtime and maintaining high productivity standards. These tips are suitable for a wide range of welding modes, including short circuit, globular, and spray transfer.
