OVERVIEW

Tweco EL16T-30 Eliminator Contact Tips (25-Pack)

Keep your production line moving and your welds consistent with this 25-pack of Tweco EL16T-30 Contact Tips. Designed for use with Tweco Eliminator front-end consumables, these tips are the industry standard for durability and arc stability. The 1160-1601 part number corresponds to a 0.030-inch (0.8mm) wire size, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of automotive, general fabrication, and light structural applications. The "Eliminator" name refers to Tweco's innovative system designed to eliminate common MIG gun problems, such as overheating and poor conductivity.

One of the standout features of the EL16T-30 is its tapered geometry. Unlike standard flat-faced tips, the tapered design reduces the overall diameter at the front of the tip. This allows the welder to get closer to the workpiece in tight angles and provides a significantly better view of the arc and weld pool. Improved visibility translates directly to better weld quality and fewer defects. The tips are machined from high-grade copper to withstand the thermal cycling and mechanical wear inherent in MIG welding.

Why Buy in Bulk?
Contact tips are the most frequently replaced component of a MIG gun. A worn contact tip can cause erratic arc characteristics, wire stuttering, and burnback, all of which compromise weld integrity. By stocking this pack of 25, you ensure that your welding operators always have fresh consumables on hand to maintain optimal arc performance. Replacing tips at the first sign of wear is a cost-effective maintenance strategy that prevents larger issues down the line.

These tips are compatible with standard Eliminator gas diffusers and nozzles. They feature a secure threading mechanism that ensures good electrical contact and prevents loosening during operation. Trust Tweco's legacy of quality to deliver the performance your shop demands.

FAQ

The EL16T-30 is designed for 0.030-inch (0.8mm) welding wire.

The 'T' indicates that this is a Tapered contact tip, which provides a narrower profile for better visibility and access to tight joints.

This package contains 25 individual contact tips.

These tips are specifically for the Tweco Eliminator series front-end parts. They require an Eliminator gas diffuser to fit correctly.

They are made from a high-conductivity copper alloy designed to withstand the heat and electrical current of MIG welding.

Yes, as long as the flux-cored wire diameter is 0.030 inches, this tip can be used, though knurled drive rolls may also be required for the feeder.

The internal Tweco part number is 1160-1601.
