11601772 - Tweco VTET-30 Velocity Contact Tip 0.030 Inch (10-Pack)

Upgrade Your MIG Gun with Tweco Velocity Tips

Experience the difference that modern consumable technology can make with the Tweco 1160-1772 VTET-30 Contact Tips. Sold in a convenient pack of 10, these tips are designed to fit Tweco MIG guns equipped with the Velocity™ front-end system, including the popular Fusion and Spray Master series. If you are welding with 0.030-inch (0.8mm) wire, the VTET-30 is your go-to choice for applications requiring a bit more reach and precision. The "Extended Tapered" shape allows you to get the nozzle closer to the work piece in tight corners without sacrificing gas coverage, making it ideal for automotive repair, roll cage fabrication, and general light-to-medium duty steel welding.

One of the biggest frustrations in MIG welding is dealing with contact tip burn-back and the hassle of changing out seized, threaded tips. The Tweco Velocity system solves this with its unique drop-in style. There are no threads on the tip itself to get damaged or clogged with spatter. To change the tip, you simply remove the nozzle, pull the old tip out, and drop the new one in. The nozzle then secures the tip in place, ensuring perfect alignment every time. This system not only saves time during changeovers but also provides a more stable arc because the electrical current flows more smoothly through the solid copper connection.

By maintaining a cooler temperature, these tips stay harder and resist the keyholing effect that causes erratic wire feeding. This means you spend less time troubleshooting wire feed issues and more time laying down beads. Whether you are a professional welder in a production shop or a serious hobbyist demanding the best performance from your equipment, the Tweco VTET-30 contact tips offer the reliability and ease of use that modern welding demands.
