OVERVIEW

Reliable 1/16" Tapered Tips for Velocity Guns

Upgrade your welding efficiency with the Tweco Velocity VTET-116 Contact Tip. If you are running 1/16-inch wire through a Tweco Velocity or Fusion MIG gun, these tips are the genuine OEM replacement you need for smooth, trouble-free feeding. The defining feature of the Velocity series is the threadless drop-in design. You no longer need pliers to wrench off a stuck tip; simply remove the nozzle and pull the tip out. This design not only speeds up consumable changes but also ensures a solid electrical connection every time, reducing micro-arcing and burn-back issues.

The VTET designation indicates a Tapered profile. This shape is a lifesaver when you need to see exactly where the wire is hitting the puddle in tight corners or deep V-grooves. Unlike bulky standard tips that block your line of sight, the VTET-116 gives you the visibility required for precision welds. The solid copper construction handles heat exceptionally well, and the system's design keeps the tip cooler than conventional threaded styles.

Sold in a convenient pack of 10, these tips are a staple for any shop using Tweco's modern gun platforms. Whether you are in heavy equipment manufacturing, structural steel, or general fabrication, the stability and ease of use provided by the Velocity system will help keep your arc on time high and your downtime low. Keep a pack in your toolbox to ensure you are always ready for the next heavy-duty job.
