OVERVIEW

Experience the Velocity Difference with Tweco VTET-45 Tips

Tired of wrestling with seized contact tips and frequent burn-backs? The Tweco Velocity VTET-45 Contact Tips are designed to solve the most common frustrations welders face with MIG guns. Part of the revolutionary Velocity consumable platform, these tips feature a unique threadless "drop-in" design. Instead of screwing the tip in and hoping it doesn't fuse to the diffuser, you simply drop it into place and secure it with the nozzle. This innovation not only makes changing tips lightning-fast but also ensures a solid electrical connection every time.

Stay Cool, Weld Longer
Heat is the enemy of contact tip life. The Velocity design maximizes surface contact between the tip and the conductor tube, acting as a superior heat sink. This keeps the tip significantly cooler than traditional threaded designs, reducing the softening of the copper and preventing the wire from micro-arcing inside the bore. The result? A tip that lasts longer, maintains a stable arc for extended periods, and saves you money on consumables in the long run.

Precision and Visibility
The VTET-45 is precision-drilled for 0.045" wire, ensuring smooth feeding and consistent electrical transfer. The tapered shape of the tip isn't just for aerodynamics; it's designed to give you a clear line of sight to your weld puddle, allowing for tighter control and better bead placement. Whether you are fabricating heavy machinery, working on structural steel, or performing production MIG welding, these tips deliver the reliability you need to keep the arc on.

Compatibility
These tips are designed for use with Tweco Fusion MIG guns and Spray Master guns equipped with the V-Series consumable conversion. This 10-pack ensures you have plenty of backups in your toolbox, although with the extended life of Velocity tips, you won't be reaching for them as often as you're used to.

FAQ

These tips are compatible with Tweco Fusion MIG guns and Tweco Spray Master guns that have been set up with Velocity series consumables.

No, the Velocity system uses a threadless design where the tip drops directly into the conductor tube, eliminating the need for a traditional screw-in gas diffuser.

The VTET-45 is designed for use with 0.045-inch (1.2 mm) welding wire.

Simply remove the nozzle, pull out the old tip, drop the new Velocity tip into the conductor tube, and reinstall the nozzle to secure the tip in place.

Threadless tips prevent thread seizing caused by heat expansion and spatter, make changeovers faster, and typically offer better heat transfer for longer tip life.

Yes, this is a genuine Tweco product, part number 11601775 (VTET-45), sold in a package of 10.

Yes, as long as the flux-cored wire diameter is 0.045 inches, these tips can be used, though heavy-duty specific tips might be preferred for high-amperage flux-cored applications.
