OVERVIEW

Keep Your Arc Smooth with Tweco EL16-30 Eliminator Tips

Every welder knows that the contact tip is the unsung hero of the MIG gun. It transfers the current to your wire and takes the brunt of the heat and spatter. If you are running a Tweco Eliminator MIG gun, the EL16-30 (1160-1610) contact tip is the exact replacement you need to keep your welds looking professional and your machine running smoothly. Designed for 0.030-inch wire, these tips are built to handle the rigors of daily fabrication work.

Why stick with genuine Tweco Eliminator tips? It comes down to consistency. These tips are machined with precision to ensure the wire slides through with just the right amount of contact. Too loose, and you lose conductivity; too tight, and the wire drags. The EL16-30 hits the sweet spot, giving you a stable, crisp arc that makes laying down beads easier and cleaner. The copper alloy construction resists overheating, meaning the tip holds its shape longer even during long welding sessions.

This pack contains 25 contact tips, making it a perfect shop-stock item. Running out of tips in the middle of a job is a headache you don't need. With a fresh pack in your toolbox, you can swap out a worn or clogged tip in seconds and get right back to the hood-down time. Whether you are welding auto body panels, light structural frames, or general repairs, these tips deliver the reliability Tweco is famous for.

Benefits for the Welder:

  • Stable Arc: Excellent conductivity means less sputtering and cleaner starts.
  • Perfect Fit: Designed exclusively for your Eliminator setup—no guessing games.
  • Value Pack: 25 tips ensure you are stocked up for the long haul.
  • Reduced Burnback: Smooth wire feeding helps prevent wire fusing to the tip.
