OVERVIEW

Genuine Tweco Performance for Heavy-Duty Welding

Keep your Tweco Eliminator MIG gun performing at its peak with genuine EL16-564 Contact Tips. Designed for welders who demand reliability, these tips are sized for 5/64-inch (2.0mm) wire, making them ideal for structural steel, heavy equipment repair, and other high-deposition welding applications. When you are pushing high amperage, the quality of your contact tip defines the stability of your arc, and Tweco's Eliminator series delivers results you can trust.

The EL16-564 features a robust copper construction that resists the intense heat of the welding arc. Its design integrates seamlessly with the Eliminator nozzle and diffuser system, which is engineered to streamline gas flow and cooling. This means fewer interruptions for tip changes and more time spent laying beads. The precision-machined bore ensures that your wire feeds smoothly without snagging or dragging, preventing the frustration of bird-nesting or erratic arc starts.

Whether you are running flux-cored wire or solid wire in a heavy industrial setting, these tips provide the consistency required for code-quality welds. Supplied in a convenient pack of 25, you can stock up your tool crib or welding cart to ensure you are never caught without a replacement during a critical job. Choose Tweco for durability, conductivity, and professional-grade performance.

FAQ

The EL16-564 is designed for use with 5/64-inch (approx. 2.0mm) welding wire.

These tips are compatible with Tweco Eliminator series MIG guns that utilize the EL16 series consumables.

This product (SKU 11601618) is a package containing 25 contact tips.

The manufacturer part number is EL16-564, and the stock code is 1160-1618.

The EL16 series is a standard duty tip for the Eliminator line, but 5/64" is a heavy wire size, implying these are used in higher amperage applications.

Yes, as long as the flux-cored wire diameter is 5/64", this tip is suitable for the process.

They are made from a high-quality copper alloy designed for optimal electrical conductivity and heat resistance.
