OVERVIEW

High-Performance Tweco Velocity VCT-50 Nozzles

The Tweco Velocity VCT-50 MIG Nozzle represents a significant advancement in welding consumable technology. Designed for professional fabricators and industrial applications, this nozzle is part of the renowned Velocity series, which redefines the gas delivery system in MIG welding. This specific model, the VCT-50, features a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) bore and a conical shape, making it the standard choice for a wide range of welding tasks, from short-circuit transfer on thin gauge sheet metal to spray transfer on heavier plates.

Constructed from high-grade solid copper, the VCT-50 is engineered to withstand high amperage and reflective heat. The key innovation of the Velocity line is its integrated system approach. Unlike traditional slip-on nozzles that rely on O-rings or friction springs, the Velocity nozzle utilizes a threaded connection. This design ensures a secure, concentric fit onto the conductor tube, optimizing electrical conductivity and heat transfer. By effectively drawing heat away from the front end, the nozzle runs significantly cooler, which reduces spatter adhesion and extends the lifespan of the consumable.

This pack contains five (5) nozzles, ensuring your welding station remains stocked for continuous production. The conical geometry provides excellent gas coverage while maintaining a narrow profile, allowing welders better visibility of the arc and puddle, as well as improved access into corners and tight joints. Whether you are using a Tweco Fusion gun or a Spray Master upgraded with Velocity consumables, the VCT-50 delivers consistent gas flow and arc stability.

FAQ

The VCT-50 nozzle is compatible with Tweco Fusion MIG guns and Tweco Spray Master guns that have been equipped with Velocity series consumables.

The VCT-50 has a 1/2-inch (12.7 mm) bore size, which is a standard size for general-purpose MIG welding.

This is a threaded nozzle. The Velocity system uses threads to secure the nozzle to the conductor tube, ensuring better heat transfer and alignment.

This package contains 5 (five) Tweco Velocity VCT-50 nozzles.

The Velocity system integrates the gas diffuser functionality into the contact tip and conductor tube design, so a traditional separate diffuser is not used with this nozzle.

The conical shape provides a good balance between gas coverage and accessibility, allowing the welder to see the puddle clearly and reach into tighter joints.

Yes, it can be used for gas-shielded Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW-G). For self-shielded flux core, a thread protector is typically used instead of a nozzle.

The VCT-50 nozzle is made of solid copper for maximum durability and heat dissipation.
