11601603 - Tweco EL16T-40 Eliminator Contact Tip 0.040 Tapered (25-Pack)

Keep Your Eliminator Gun Running Smoothly

Every welder knows that the contact tip is the heart of the MIG gun. If your tip is worn out or clogged, your arc becomes unstable, your wire feeds poorly, and your welds suffer. The Tweco EL16T-40 Eliminator Contact Tip is built to solve these problems and keep you welding. Designed specifically for the popular Tweco Eliminator series MIG guns, these tips are a direct replacement for your worn-out consumables, ensuring your equipment performs like new.

This specific tip, the EL16T-40, is designed for 0.040-inch (1.0mm) wire. While 0.035 and 0.045 are the most common sizes, 0.040 is a sweet spot for many welders working on materials that need just a bit more deposition than the light stuff but aren't quite heavy plate. If you are running 0.040 wire, you need a tip that matches perfectly to prevent slop and ensure good contact. These tips are precision-machined to that exact tolerance.

One of the standout features of this tip is its tapered design. Standard tips can sometimes be bulky, blocking your view of the weld pool, especially when you are trying to get into a corner or weld a fillet. The 'T' in EL16T stands for Tapered. It slims down the front end of your gun, giving you a much better line of sight. When you can see the puddle clearly, you make better welds—it’s that simple.

This pack comes with 25 contact tips. We know that in a busy shop, you go through tips. Whether it's burn-back, keyholing, or just general wear and tear, having a fresh tip ready to go is essential. With a 25-pack, you can toss a handful in your toolbox or keep the box in the supply cabinet and not worry about running out in the middle of a job. Stick with genuine Tweco style performance and keep your Eliminator gun doing what it does best.
