OVERVIEW

Tweco 1160-1616 (EL16-116) Contact Tip - Pack of 25

Keep your welding operations running smoothly with this 25-pack of Tweco EL16-116 Contact Tips. Identified by the SKU 1160-1616, these tips are specifically engineered for use with 1/16" (1.6mm) welding wire. They are part of the popular Tweco Eliminator consumable system, which is favored by welders for its reliability and ease of use in demanding industrial settings.

The EL16 series tips are distinguished by their "drop-in" threaded design. This feature eliminates the frustration of stripped threads common with fine-thread tips and allows for rapid changeovers on the production line. The tip seats firmly against the gas diffuser, creating a robust electrical connection that promotes a smooth, stable arc. This is particularly important when running larger diameter wires like 1/16", where high amperage is required.

Supplied in a convenient pack of 25, these contact tips ensure you have ample stock on hand to minimize interruptions. They are manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure smooth wire feeding and accurate targeting. Suitable for use with flux-cored, metal-cored, and solid wires, the EL16-116 is a versatile solution for heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, and structural welding tasks.
