OVERVIEW

High-Performance Tweco Eliminator Contact Tips

The Tweco Eliminator EL16RZT35 Contact Tip is a premium consumable designed to maximize the efficiency and longevity of your MIG welding operations. Engineered specifically for the Tweco Eliminator series of MIG guns, these contact tips represent a significant leap forward in front-end consumable technology. Unlike traditional threaded tips that rely on limited thread engagement for electrical transfer and heat dissipation, the Eliminator series features a specialized tapered seating design. This large surface area connection ensures optimal electrical conductivity and superior thermal transfer to the gas diffuser, allowing the tip to run cooler even under high-amperage applications.

This specific model, the EL16RZT35 (SKU: 1160-1705), is precision-machined to accommodate 0.035-inch (0.9mm) welding wire, a standard gauge for a wide variety of industrial fabrication tasks. The "RZT" designation points to the robust design intended to maintain arc stability and reduce micro-arcing within the tip bore. By maintaining a consistent electrical contact with the wire, these tips reduce burn-backs and erratic arc behavior, ensuring high-quality weld deposits.

Supplied in a convenient pack of 25, these contact tips are an essential stock item for high-volume welding environments. The quick-change nature of the Eliminator system allows operators to swap out consumables rapidly without the risk of cross-threading, thereby minimizing downtime and maintaining production rhythm. Whether used in automotive manufacturing, heavy equipment repair, or general structural fabrication, Tweco Eliminator tips deliver the reliability professionals demand.

FAQ

This contact tip is designed for 0.035-inch (0.9mm) welding wire.

These tips are compatible with Tweco Eliminator series MIG guns and front-end consumables.

This package contains 25 contact tips.

The taper design provides a larger contact surface area for better electrical conductivity and heat dissipation, resulting in cooler operation and longer tip life.

No, the Eliminator series uses a tapered seat design rather than standard threads, although some variations may have specific retention mechanisms, the primary seat is tapered.

The part number is EL16RZT35, often referenced as 1160-1705.

While the size (0.035") might match, aluminum usually requires specific tips with slightly larger bore tolerances to prevent expansion jamming. Standard copper tips are typically for steel/stainless.
