OVERVIEW

Fast Changes, Less Downtime

If you are tired of wrestling with fused contact tips or stripping threads when you're in a hurry, the Tweco 1160-1765 (VTH-52) Velocity Contact Tips are the upgrade you need. Designed for welders running 0.052" wire, these tips feature a revolutionary threadless design. To change a tip, you simply unscrew the nozzle, pull the old tip out, drop the new one in, and tighten the nozzle back on. It’s that simple. No pliers needed, no cross-threading, and no wasted time. The drop-in fit ensures the tip is always seated perfectly, letting you get back to burning wire in seconds.

Smoother Arc, Cooler Tip

The performance difference with Velocity tips is something you can feel under the hood. Because the VTH-52 tip sits flush against the conductor tube with a large contact area, it conducts electricity much better than standard threaded tips. This means your arc stays crisp and stable, even when you are pushing the machine hard. Better conductivity also means less heat buildup at the tip itself. A cooler tip collects less spatter and is far less likely to suffer from burnback, saving you from the frustration of clearing birdnests or replacing liners prematurely.

Heavy-Duty Reliability

These VTH (Velocity Tapered Heavy Duty) tips are built for the long haul. The 0.052" bore is precise, ensuring good contact with the wire without excessive drag. The integrated gas ports in the tip itself mean you get excellent shielding gas coverage without dealing with fragile, separate gas diffusers that get clogged up with soot. This 10-pack ensures you have plenty of backups for your shift, although with the extended life of Velocity consumables, you'll find yourself reaching for a new one less often. Whether you are welding structural steel or repairing heavy machinery, these tips help you lay down high-quality beads with less hassle.
