OVERVIEW

Tweco 1564-1144 Gas Diffuser / Tip Retainer

Maximize the efficiency of your heavy-duty MIG welding operations with the Tweco WC56AH Contact Tip Retainer. Known in the industry for its rugged reliability, this gas diffuser is the standard replacement part for Tweco Classic No. 5 and No. 6 MIG guns, as well as select Spray Master models. When you are pushing high amps, you need consumables that can take the heat, and the WC56AH is built exactly for that purpose.

Key Benefits for the Welder:

  • Superior Conductivity: Made from heavy-duty brass, ensuring stable arc characteristics and efficient power transfer to the wire.
  • Heat Management: The robust design acts as a heat sink, pulling thermal energy away from the contact tip to prevent overheating and wire fusion.
  • Secure Fit: Precision threading ensures the retainer locks tightly onto the conductor tube and holds the contact tip concentrically for accurate wire targeting.
  • Optimized Gas Flow: Designed to distribute shielding gas evenly around the weld puddle, ensuring clean, high-quality beads.

This part (Stock No. 1564-1144) is designed to accept Tweco 14 Series contact tips and fits standard slip-on or threaded nozzles associated with the No. 5/6 series. Sold in a convenient pack of 5, these retainers are a must-have for any serious fabrication shop or industrial maintenance team. Don't let a worn-out diffuser compromise your weld quality—stock up on genuine Tweco parts today.
