11601773 - Tweco VTET-35 Velocity Contact Tip .035" (10-Pack)

Tweco 1160-1773 VTET-35 Velocity Contact Tip (.035")

The Tweco 1160-1773 (VTET-35) is a high-performance contact tip designed for the Tweco Velocity MIG consumable platform. Sold in packages of 10, these tips are precision-engineered for 0.035" (0.9mm) welding wire. The Velocity series represents a significant leap forward in MIG gun technology, replacing traditional threaded tips with a robust, threadless drop-in system that enhances both productivity and weld quality.

One of the standout features of the VTET-35 is its solid copper construction combined with a large contact surface area. By eliminating threads, Tweco has removed the air gaps that typically insulate heat and impede current flow in standard tips. The result is a contact tip that runs significantly cooler and maintains a more consistent voltage at the arc. The "VTET" designation indicates a tapered profile, which is preferred for applications requiring precise nozzle placement and improved gas coverage in restricted spaces.

Installation is fast and tool-free. The tip drops into the gas diffuser, and the nozzle is screwed on to secure it in place. This design not only speeds up consumable changes but also ensures the wire is perfectly centered, reducing micro-arcing and premature wear. Compatible with Tweco Fusion MIG guns and any Tweco gun converted to the Velocity system, these tips are the professional choice for industrial manufacturing and fabrication.
