Maximize the performance of your heavy industrial welding operations with the Tweco 16FC-764 Contact Tip. Specifically engineered for 7/64" (2.8mm) flux-cored wires, these contact tips are a staple in structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment repair, and shipbuilding. The "FC" designation indicates a specialized internal geometry designed to accommodate the unique characteristics of flux-cored wires, which often have seams or slight irregularities compared to solid wires. This design ensures smooth wire feeding, reduces burn-back risks, and maintains a stable arc even under high-amperage conditions.
Part of the renowned Tweco 16 Series, these contact tips are built to withstand the intense heat and mechanical stress of high-deposition welding. They feature a standard 3/8"-24 UNF thread, making them fully compatible with industry-standard Tweco Professional No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 MIG guns, as well as the Spray Master series. The tips are machined from high-quality copper alloy, providing excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, which is critical for transferring current efficiently to the wire.
Supplied in a convenient package of 25, these contact tips ensure your shop is well-stocked for continuous production. Frequent tip changes are a reality in high-volume flux-core welding, and having reliable, OEM-quality consumables on hand minimizes downtime. Whether you are running gas-shielded flux core or self-shielded wires, the Tweco 16FC-764 delivers the consistency and durability required for code-quality welds.
