OVERVIEW

Tweco 14 Series Contact Tip for 1/16" Flux Core Wire

The Tweco 14FC-068 is a heavy-duty contact tip designed to deliver superior performance in Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) applications. This product is specifically engineered to solve the common feeding issues welders face when running 1/16-inch (1.6mm) cored wires through standard tips. With a bore diameter of 0.068 inches, it offers the extra clearance necessary to accommodate the seam and potential ovality of flux-cored wires, ensuring smooth, uninterrupted feeding.

Key Technical Features:

  • Optimized Bore: The 0.068" ID is slightly larger than the nominal wire size, preventing the wire from binding or seizing as it heats up during high-amperage welding.
  • 14 Series Compatibility: Fits the most popular MIG guns in the industry, including Tweco Classic #2, #3, #4, and Spray Master 250/350/450 guns.
  • Durable Construction: Machined from premium copper alloy to withstand the high heat and abrasive nature of flux-cored wires while maintaining excellent electrical conductivity.
  • Secure Fit: Features standard 1/4"-28 UNF threads for easy installation and removal from the gas diffuser.

Using the wrong contact tip for flux-cored wire is a leading cause of unstable arcs and bird-nesting at the drive rolls. The 14FC-068 eliminates these variables, allowing the welder to focus on the puddle rather than the equipment. This pack contains 25 contact tips, providing excellent value and ensuring you are prepared for long production runs. It is the ideal choice for welders working with self-shielded or gas-shielded flux-cored wires in structural, agricultural, and general fabrication settings.

Upgrade your consumables to match your process. The Tweco 14FC-068 provides the reliability and consistency required for code-quality welds in demanding environments. Compatible with any MIG gun setup that utilizes standard Tweco 14 Series parts.

FAQ

The 14FC-068 is designed for 1/16" (0.062") flux-cored wire. The '068' in the part number refers to the 0.068-inch bore diameter, which provides the necessary clearance for cored wires.

FC stands for 'Flux Core'. These tips have a slightly larger bore tolerance compared to standard solid wire tips to accommodate the expansion and surface irregularities of flux-cored wires.

Yes, if your Tweco No. 4 gun is equipped with a standard gas diffuser that accepts 14 Series tips (which is the standard configuration), this tip will fit perfectly.

This product is sold as a package of 25 contact tips.

While you physically can, it is not recommended for 1/16" solid wire if precision is required. The oversized bore may cause poor electrical contact (micro-arcing) with solid wire, leading to an unstable arc.

The Tweco 14 Series tips feature a standard 1/4"-28 UNF thread.

Yes, this is a genuine Tweco brand consumable, ensuring high quality and consistent manufacturing tolerances.
