OVERVIEW

Reliable Performance for Heavy-Duty Welding

When you are pushing 1/16" wire all day, you need a contact tip that can take the heat. The Tweco 15H-116 is the heavy-duty workhorse you can rely on to keep your arc smooth and your production line moving. Unlike standard tips that might overheat and deform under high amperage, this 15H series tip is built with extra copper material. That thick wall doesn't just make it look tough; it acts as a heat sink, pulling thermal energy away from the wire interface to prevent the tip from softening or melting during long welds.

We know that nothing is more frustrating than a tip that grabs the wire or causes erratic arc starts. Because this is a genuine Tweco OEM part, the bore is drilled perfectly smooth and to the exact size needed for 1/16" wire. This means less drag on your drive rolls and fewer bird-nests at the feeder. Whether you are welding thick plate on an excavator bucket or running long structural beads, the consistent electrical contact provided by this tip helps you lay down high-quality welds with less spatter and better control.

Swapping out tips is part of the job, but with the 15H-116, you won't have to do it as often. Its durability means fewer interruptions for consumable changes, letting you stay under the hood and get the job done. It fits standard heavy-duty Tweco setups (like the Classic No. 4 or 5 guns), so it drops right into your existing equipment without hassle. Don't compromise your weld quality with cheap knock-offs; stick with the tips designed for your gun.

FAQ

This contact tip is designed specifically for 1/16" (1.6mm) welding wire.

The 15H series is the 'Heavy Duty' version. It has a larger outer diameter and thicker walls than the standard 14 series, allowing it to withstand higher heat and amperage.

It is compatible with Tweco No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6 MIG guns, as well as many automatic and robotic torches that use the Tweco 15H style front-end consumables.

The tip features a standard 3/8"-24 UNF thread.

You should use this tip with compatible heavy-duty gas diffusers, such as the Tweco 52, 52FN, or 54A models.

OEM tips offer tighter manufacturing tolerances and higher quality copper alloys, resulting in better conductivity, smoother wire feeding, and longer service life.

While it can be used, aluminum wire often requires tips with slightly larger clearance (often marked with an 'A') to prevent expansion seizing. This specific part is standard for steel/flux-cored wires.

These tips are typically packaged in quantities of 25, though they may be sold individually depending on the distributor.
