11601114 - Tweco 16S-116 Contact Tip, 1/16 in, Standard, 25-Pack

Reliable Performance for Heavy Welding

When you are pushing 1/16-inch wire, you are likely tackling serious fabrication jobs that demand consistency. The Tweco 16S-116 Contact Tip is the industry standard for a reason. Built to handle the rigors of heavy structural welding and fabrication, these tips ensure that your arc starts smooth and stays smooth. A worn contact tip is the number one cause of erratic arcs, burn-backs, and frustration in the booth. By sticking with genuine Tweco 16 Series tips, you ensure that the electrical transfer to your wire is efficient, giving you the control you need to lay down perfect beads every time.

Precision and Durability

Not all copper is created equal. Tweco contact tips are machined from high-grade copper alloy that resists the intense heat of the welding arc better than generic alternatives. The bore is drilled to precise tolerances, meaning your wire glides through without snagging, yet maintains enough contact to carry the full welding current. This balance is critical for preventing the "stuttering" that can ruin a weld. The 3/8"-24 threads are cut cleanly to prevent cross-threading and ensure a solid electrical connection to your diffuser, which is vital for keeping resistance—and heat—low in your gun's front end.

Value and Convenience

We know that in a busy shop, time is money. You don't want to be running to the tool crib every hour for a single tip. This pack of 25 ensures you have plenty of stock on hand to keep your machines running through the longest shifts. Whether you are welding heavy plate, repairing heavy equipment, or fabricating structural steel, having a fresh box of 16S-116 tips means you are ready for whatever the job throws at you. Don't let a cheap consumable compromise your expensive project; trust the brand that defined the standard for MIG welding accessories.
