OVERVIEW

Precision Tweco Eliminator Contact Tips for 0.030" Wire

Maximize the performance of your MIG welding operations with the Tweco EL16T-30 Eliminator Contact Tip. Specifically engineered for the renowned Tweco Eliminator series MIG guns, this contact tip (Part Number 1160-1601) is designed to handle 0.030-inch (0.8mm) welding wire with exceptional reliability. The "T" in the model number signifies a tapered design, which is a critical feature for welders working in confined spaces or complex joints. By narrowing the profile of the tip, Tweco allows the operator a clearer line of sight to the weld puddle, ensuring greater precision and control during the welding process.

The Eliminator series is celebrated in the industry for its ability to consolidate consumable inventory without sacrificing performance. These contact tips are manufactured from a premium copper alloy that ensures optimal electrical conductivity and heat transfer. Efficient heat dissipation is vital for preventing burnback and extending the lifespan of the tip, ultimately reducing downtime for tip changes. The precision-drilled bore ensures a consistent electrical connection with the wire, stabilizing the arc and reducing micro-arcing that can lead to premature wear.

This package contains 25 contact tips, making it an ideal choice for busy fabrication shops and industrial environments where consistent throughput is required. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum, using genuine Tweco consumables ensures that your equipment operates at peak efficiency. The EL16T-30 fits securely into Eliminator gas diffusers, providing a robust electrical path that professionals trust for high-quality welds.

Key Benefits of the EL16T Series

Choosing the tapered EL16T style over standard blunt tips offers distinct advantages in visibility and accessibility. When welding in corners or deep grooves, the tapered profile prevents the nozzle assembly from obstructing the view, allowing for tighter arc control. Combined with the durability of the Eliminator design, these tips represent a perfect balance of longevity and performance.

FAQ

The EL16T-30 is designed for 0.030-inch (0.8mm) welding wire.

The 'T' indicates that this is a Tapered contact tip, which provides a narrower profile for better visibility and access to tight joints.

This package contains 25 individual contact tips.

These tips are specifically for the Tweco Eliminator series front-end parts. They require an Eliminator gas diffuser to fit correctly.

They are made from a high-conductivity copper alloy designed to withstand the heat and electrical current of MIG welding.

Yes, as long as the flux-cored wire diameter is 0.030 inches, this tip can be used, though knurled drive rolls may also be required for the feeder.

The internal Tweco part number is 1160-1601.
