OVERVIEW

Genuine Tweco 1160-1127 (16FC-764) Contact Tips - Pack of 25

The Tweco 16FC-764 (Stock No. 1160-1127) is a premium contact tip designed to deliver superior performance in Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) applications. Sized for 7/64-inch (approx. 2.8mm) welding wire, this tip features a slightly larger internal diameter clearance compared to standard solid wire tips. This "Flux Core" specific design accommodates the tubular construction of FCAW wires, preventing binding and ensuring consistent wire feed speed, which is essential for maintaining weld puddle control and penetration profiles.

These tips are a core component of the Tweco 16 Series consumable line, known for its robustness and versatility. With an overall length of 1.5 inches and a 0.375-inch outer diameter, they provide substantial mass for heat dissipation. The threaded base (3/8"-24 UNF) ensures a secure, high-conductivity connection to the gas diffuser. They are compatible with a wide range of MIG guns, including the classic Tweco #3, #4, and #5, as well as modern Spray Master 350 and 450 amp guns. Using genuine Tweco parts ensures that your equipment operates within its rated specifications and helps prolong the life of the gun liner and diffuser.

Sold in a pack of 25, the 1160-1127 contact tips offer excellent value for high-consumption environments. Welders understand that the contact tip is the final transfer point for welding current; a worn or inferior tip can lead to micro-arcing, erratic arcs, and poor bead appearance. By choosing the 16FC-764, you are investing in stable electrical transfer and reduced troubleshooting time.

FAQ

This contact tip is designed for 7/64" (approximately 2.8mm) welding wire.

'FC' stands for Flux Core. These tips have internal tolerances specifically optimized for the feeding characteristics of flux-cored wires.

These tips fit Tweco Professional No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 guns, as well as Spray Master 350 and 450 series guns using 16 Series consumables.

The tip features a standard 3/8"-24 UNF thread.

This product (SKU 11601127) is sold as a package of 25 contact tips.

While it is physically possible if the diameter matches, it is recommended to use standard tips for solid wire and 'FC' tips for flux-cored wire to ensure optimal electrical contact and feeding.

They are manufactured from a high-grade copper alloy designed for durability and electrical conductivity.
