Maximize the performance of your heavy industrial welding operations with the Tweco 16S-3/32 Standard Contact Tip. Identified by part number 1160-1110, these contact tips are engineered specifically for welding with large diameter 3/32-inch (2.4mm) wire. This size is commonly utilized in structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment manufacturing, and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) applications where high deposition rates are required. The 16S series is a staple in the welding industry, known for its robust design and compatibility with high-amperage MIG guns, particularly the classic Tweco #5 and #6 series.
Manufactured from a premium copper alloy, these tips offer excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. Efficient energy transfer is critical when running high currents through thick wire, and Tweco's material selection helps minimize resistance heating at the contact point. This results in a more stable arc, reduced burnback risk, and longer consumable life compared to generic alternatives. The bore is precision-drilled to a tolerance that accommodates the 3/32" wire smoothly while maintaining sufficient contact for current transfer, preventing the micro-arcing inside the tip that leads to premature failure.
This product comes in a package of 25, providing a cost-effective solution for workshops that go through consumables regularly. The standard "S" geometry features a 1.5-inch length and a 0.375-inch outer diameter, fitting standard gas diffusers with a 3/8"-24 thread. Whether you are running solid wire or flux-cored wire in a heavy fabrication environment, relying on genuine Tweco 16S tips ensures your equipment operates at peak efficiency with minimal downtime for tip changes.
