Tweco 16S-35 Heavy Duty Contact Tip for 0.035 Wire

Keep Your Arc Smooth with Genuine Tweco Tips

When you are pushing heavy amps through a Tweco #5 or #6 gun, you need a contact tip that can take the heat. The Tweco 16S-35 is the go-to tip for professional welders running 0.035" wire in heavy structural or industrial applications. Unlike cheap knock-offs that wear out in an hour or cause your wire to drag, these genuine OEM tips are built to keep you welding smoothly shift after shift. The copper alloy is tough enough to resist melting back, even when you're running hot and fast.

We all know the frustration of an unstable arc—sputtering, popping, and inconsistent penetration. Often, the culprit is a worn-out or poorly made contact tip. The 16S-35 is drilled with precision to let the wire feed easily while making solid electrical contact. This means better arc starts, less spatter, and fewer trips to the tool crib to grab a replacement. The 3/8"-24 threads screw in tight and stay tight, ensuring you get full power to the wire.

These tips are designed for the big guns. If you are using a smaller Tweco #2 or #4, this isn't the tip for you (you'd want the 11 or 14 series). But if you are wielding the heavy-duty #5 or #6, the 16S series is your standard workhorse. Don't compromise your weld quality with bargain-bin consumables. Stick with the brand that defined MIG welding and keep your production line moving with Tweco 16S-35 contact tips.

Why Welders Choose the 16S-35:

• Perfect Fit: Threads smoothly into your #5 or #6 diffuser.
• Smooth Feeding: No burrs or tight spots to snag your wire.
• Long Life: Handles high heat without keyholing quickly.
• Reliable Arc: Consistent electrical contact for better beads.
