OVERVIEW

Reliable Performance with Tweco WeldSkill Contact Tips

For professional welders and industrial fabricators, consistency is key. The Tweco WeldSkill WS16S116 Contact Tip is engineered to deliver reliable current transfer and smooth wire feeding for heavy-duty welding applications. Designed to accommodate 1/16" (1.6mm) welding wire, these tips are a staple for structural steel fabrication, heavy equipment repair, and other high-deposition processes. As part of the renowned WeldSkill line, these contact tips offer a perfect balance of performance and value, ensuring you get the quality Tweco is known for without breaking the budget.

The WS16S116 features the standard Tweco 16 Series geometry, making it compatible with a vast range of MIG guns, including the classic Tweco Spray Master, WeldSkill guns, and many other industry-standard torches that utilize 16 series consumables. The tip is machined from a high-quality copper alloy, which provides excellent thermal and electrical conductivity. This ensures that the welding current is efficiently transferred to the wire, resulting in a stable arc and reduced spatter. The precision-drilled bore is sized specifically for 1/16" wire, minimizing friction while maintaining good electrical contact.

This product comes in a convenient package of 25, making it an ideal choice for busy shops that go through consumables regularly. Having a bulk supply on hand reduces downtime associated with restocking and ensures your welders can keep the arc lit. Whether you are running solid wire or flux-cored wire, the Tweco WS16S116 is built to withstand the heat and mechanical wear of industrial environments.
