16S-35 - Tweco Style 16S-35 Heavy Duty Contact Tip for .035 Wire (1160-1102 Replacement)

Reliable Contact Tips for Smooth Arcs

Every welder knows that a stable arc starts with a good contact tip. If your wire is dragging or your arc is stuttering, it might be time to swap out your tip for the Tweco Style 16S-35 Heavy Duty Contact Tip. Designed for .035" wire, this tip is the workhorse of the 16S series, built to handle the heat of high-amperage welding without fusing or deforming prematurely. It fits perfectly on your Tweco #4, #5, or #6 gun, giving you the performance you expect from a heavy-duty setup.

Why choose this tip? It comes down to the copper. Machined from a durable copper alloy, it offers excellent conductivity to transfer current efficiently to your wire. The smooth bore is machined to tight tolerances, meaning your wire glides through with minimal drag, reducing bird-nesting and feed issues at the drive rolls. Rated for up to 600 amps, it is ready for your thickest plate and hottest spray transfer settings.

Don't let overpriced consumables eat into your project budget. This high-quality replacement part (comparable to Tweco 1160-1102) gives you the reliability you need to lay down perfect beads shift after shift. The threaded design locks in tight to your diffuser, ensuring you get maximum power to the puddle. Keep a pack in your toolbox so you are never caught downtime with a burned-back tip.
