OVERVIEW

Reliable Contact Tips for Heavy-Duty Fabrication

Keep your production line moving and your arcs stable with the Tweco 16PS-116 Pulsemaster Contact Tip. Designed for welders who demand consistency, these tips are built to handle the heat of heavy industrial welding. If you are running 1/16-inch (1.6mm) wire, you are likely tackling thick plate and structural jobs where downtime is costly. These genuine Tweco consumables are engineered to withstand the intense heat and electrical loads of pulsed MIG welding, ensuring you spend more time welding and less time troubleshooting wire feed issues.

The 16PS-116 fits Tweco Pulsemaster MIG guns and other compatible 16-series setups. The "PS" stands for Pulsemaster, indicating that these tips are optimized for the unique characteristics of pulse welding, where current peaks can degrade lesser tips quickly. By providing a superior electrical connection to the wire, these tips help prevent burnbacks and erratic arcs, giving you a smooth, controllable puddle even at high amperages. The smooth internal bore reduces friction, allowing your wire feeder to operate efficiently without strain.

This pack contains 25 contact tips, making it a cost-effective solution for busy shops. Having a fresh supply of quality tips on hand is the easiest way to maintain weld quality. Worn tips can cause wandering arcs and poor bead appearance; swapping in a fresh Tweco 16PS-116 restores performance instantly. Trust the brand that defined MIG welding accessories—Tweco—to deliver the durability and performance your shop needs.

Key Benefits for the Welder

  • Consistent Arc: Tight tolerances ensure the wire makes solid contact for a stable arc.
  • Longer Life: Durable copper alloy resists wear and heat deformation.
  • Smooth Feeding: Precision bore prevents snagging and bird-nesting.
  • Perfect Fit: Designed specifically for Tweco 16 Series front-end consumables.

FAQ

This contact tip is designed for 1/16-inch (1.6mm) welding wire.

This package contains 25 individual contact tips.

These tips are designed for Tweco Pulsemaster series MIG guns and other guns that utilize Tweco 16 Series consumables.

Pulsemaster tips are optimized for pulsed MIG welding, featuring tighter tolerances and materials designed to handle the high peak currents and heat associated with the pulse process.

Yes, while optimized for pulse, they perform exceptionally well in standard Constant Voltage (CV) MIG applications due to their high-quality construction.

They are manufactured from a high-conductivity copper alloy designed for durability and heat resistance.

Replace the tip if the bore becomes oval-shaped (keyholing), if the wire seizes inside, or if you experience erratic arc starts and instability.

Yes, this is a genuine Tweco product, ensuring perfect fit and performance with your Tweco equipment.
