OVERVIEW

Reliable Arc Performance with Tweco 16ST-116 Tips

For professional welders running heavy 1/16-inch wire, consistency is everything. The Tweco 16ST-116 Contact Tip is built to deliver that consistency, weld after weld. Whether you are laying down heavy structural beads or working on high-speed fabrication lines, the quality of your contact tip directly influences the stability of your arc. These 16 Series Standard Duty tips are crafted from premium copper to handle the heat and current demands of industrial MIG welding, ensuring that the power from your machine is efficiently transferred to the wire.

One of the most common frustrations in MIG welding is burnback or erratic feeding caused by poor-quality consumables. Tweco has designed the 16ST-116 with a smooth, precision-drilled bore that reduces drag on the wire. This means fewer bird-nests at the feeder and a smoother arc at the workpiece. The 3/8"-24 threads lock securely into your gas diffuser, providing a solid electrical path that won't loosen up as the gun heats up during long duty cycles. Designed to fit Tweco Spray Master and Professional series guns, these tips are a drop-in replacement that restores your gun's performance to factory standards.

This pack contains 25 contact tips, making it an economical choice for busy shops. We know that in the real world, tips take a beating—from spatter adhesion to keyholing. Having a bulk pack on hand means you can swap out a worn tip the moment you notice the arc starting to wander, without worrying about running out of stock mid-shift. Keeping a fresh tip on your gun is one of the easiest ways to improve weld quality and reduce cleanup time.

Don't let a cheap consumable compromise your expensive welding setup. The Tweco 16ST-116 offers the durability and precision you expect from the industry leader in MIG gun components. Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless, or flux-core, these tips provide the reliable contact point you need to focus on your puddle control rather than fighting your equipment. Upgrade your consumables locker with this 25-pack and keep your production line moving smoothly.
