OVERVIEW

Tweco 15HFC-52: Precision Contact Tips for 0.052" Flux Cored Wire

Maximize the performance of your Tweco MIG guns with the Tweco 15HFC-52 Contact Tip, specifically engineered for 0.052-inch flux-cored wire applications. This premium consumable is part of the renowned Tweco 15 Series, known for its rugged reliability in heavy industrial settings. Sold in a convenient pack of 25, these contact tips are an essential inventory item for any professional welder or fabrication shop running high-deposition flux-cored processes.

The 15HFC-52 distinguishes itself with its heavy-duty geometry. Unlike standard duty tips, the HFC series features a larger outer diameter and increased mass. This additional copper material acts as a superior heat sink, drawing thermal energy away from the wire exit point. This is particularly important in flux-cored welding, where resistive heating in the wire extension can be significant. By keeping the tip cooler, the 15HFC-52 reduces the risk of the wire fusing to the tip (burnback) and maintains consistent electrical conductivity for longer periods.

Compatibility is key with Tweco consumables. These tips utilize the standard 3/8"-24 UNF thread, ensuring a secure and conductive connection to Tweco 52, 54, and other heavy-duty gas diffusers. The bore geometry is optimized for 0.052" cored wires, providing enough clearance to prevent jamming due to wire irregularities while maintaining tight enough contact for efficient current transfer. This balance is crucial for achieving the smooth, spatter-free welds that professional welders demand.

At Welders Supply, we understand that consumable quality directly impacts weld quality. Genuine Tweco parts like the 15HFC-52 are manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure repeatability. When you replace a tip, you can expect the same high performance as the last one. Equip your Tweco #5 and #6 guns with the best heavy-duty tips available and experience the difference in arc stability and consumable life.

FAQ

This contact tip is designed specifically for 0.052-inch (approximately 1.3mm or 1.4mm) welding wire.

HFC stands for 'Heavy Duty Flux Core'. It indicates the tip is designed with a thicker wall for high heat and a bore tolerance optimized for flux-cored wires.

Typically, Tweco #4 guns use the 14 Series tips (1/4"-20 thread). The 15 Series tips (3/8"-24 thread) like this one are standard on Tweco #5 and #6 guns. Check your gas diffuser thread size to be sure.

While it is physically possible if the size matches, HFC tips have slightly looser bore tolerances to accommodate the flux core. For solid wire, a standard heavy-duty tip (like the 15H-52) is usually preferred for better arc starts.

This package contains 25 individual contact tips.

The thread size is 3/8"-24 UNF, which is the standard for Tweco heavy-duty gas diffusers.

Yes, this is a genuine Tweco 15HFC-52 contact tip, ensuring proper fit and material quality.
