11601758 - Tweco VTM-116 Velocity Contact Tip 1/16-Inch (10-Pack)

Upgrade Your MIG Gun with Tweco VTM-116 Tips

Experience the difference that modern engineering makes with the Tweco VTM-116 Velocity Contact Tips. Sold in a convenient package of 10, these tips are designed to fit 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) wire and are compatible with Tweco Spray Master V-Series guns and other MIG guns converted to the Velocity platform. The standout feature of the Velocity line is its "drop-in" style. If you have ever struggled with pliers to remove a fused, threaded contact tip, you will appreciate the simplicity of this system. The tip simply drops into the gas diffuser and is locked in place by the nozzle, eliminating threads entirely.

Welding efficiency is all about arc time, and the VTM-116 helps you keep the arc on longer. The threadless design creates a solid path for both heat and electricity. By integrating the tip more closely with the diffuser, the Velocity system runs cooler than conventional setups. A cooler tip means less spatter adhesion, less burn-back, and a longer lifespan for the consumable. This translates to fewer tip changes per shift and lower overall operating costs for your welding shop.

The VTM-116 is precision-drilled for 1/16" wire, ensuring smooth feeding without the micro-arcing that can occur in oversized bores. The tapered shape of the tip improves visibility of the weld puddle, allowing for more precise gun manipulation in tight corners or complex joints. Whether you are running solid MIG wire or flux-cored wire, these tips deliver the reliability professional welders demand. Keep your tool crib stocked with this 10-pack and ensure your welding equipment is operating at peak efficiency.

Why Choose Velocity Tips?

• Easy Replacement: No tools required to seat the tip; just drop it in and secure the nozzle.
• Cost Effective: Longer life span means fewer tips used over time.
• Better Visibility: Tapered design helps you see the puddle clearly for better bead placement.
