11601612 - Tweco EL16-40 Eliminator Contact Tip for .040 Wire (25-Pack)

Reliable Performance for Your Eliminator Gun

Keep your welds clean and your arc steady with the Tweco EL16-40 Eliminator Contact Tips. If you are running a Tweco Eliminator MIG gun, you know that the right consumables make all the difference in your daily grind. These contact tips are designed to take the hassle out of maintenance so you can keep your hood down and your productivity up. The EL16-40 is sized perfectly for .040" (1.0mm) wire, a versatile size for everything from automotive bodywork to medium-duty structural fabrication.

One of the biggest headaches in welding is dealing with stuck or stripped contact tips. Tweco solved this with the Eliminator series. The EL16-40 features a smart, coarse-thread design that drops right into the diffuser and locks tight with just a quick twist. No more fighting with fine threads that get gummed up with spatter or cross-threaded when you're in a rush. This means you can swap out a worn tip in seconds and get right back to laying beads. The copper construction ensures excellent current transfer, giving you a smooth, buttery arc that helps prevent burnback and erratic feeding.

This package (SKU 1160-1612) comes with 25 contact tips, ensuring you have a well-stocked toolbox for the jobs ahead. Whether you are working in a production shop or managing a mobile rig, having fresh tips on hand is essential for maintaining weld quality. A worn tip can cause the wire to wander and the arc to sputter, leading to defects that take time to fix. By replacing your tips regularly with genuine Tweco EL16-40s, you ensure consistent penetration and bead appearance every time you pull the trigger. Invest in the consumables built to match the performance of your Eliminator gun.
