OVERVIEW

Experience the Velocity Difference with VTS-40 Tips

If you are tired of fighting with contact tips that fuse to the diffuser or require a pair of pliers to remove every time they burn back, the Tweco Velocity VTS-40 is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. Designed for 0.040" (1.0mm) wire, these tips are part of the revolutionary Velocity system that completely ditches the threads. Instead of screwing the tip in, you simply drop it into the gas diffuser and lock it in place with the nozzle. It’s that simple. This "drop-in" style means you can swap out a tip in seconds, even with gloved hands, keeping you welding instead of wrenching.

But it’s not just about convenience; it’s about performance. Because there are no threads to restrict the flow of electricity or heat, these solid copper tips run significantly cooler than old-school threaded tips. A cooler tip means the wire doesn't soften prematurely inside the bore, leading to fewer burnbacks and less micro-arcing. The result is a smoother, more stable arc that stays consistent even during long welds at high amperages. The VTS (Velocity Tapered Standard) shape gives you a clear view of your puddle, helping you lay down better beads in tight corners or open joints.

This 10-pack of VTS-40 tips ensures you have plenty of backup for your 0.040" wire jobs. Whether you are fabricating structural steel, working on automotive repairs, or running production manufacturing, these tips deliver the reliability you need. They fit Tweco Fusion guns and any Spray Master gun upgraded with Velocity parts. Stop letting seized threads slow you down—switch to the stability and speed of Tweco Velocity consumables.

Key User Benefits:

  • No Tools Needed: Change tips by hand in seconds.
  • Cooler Operation: Solid copper design dissipates heat fast, making tips last longer.
  • Stable Arc: Better electrical contact means less sputtering and smoother feeding.
  • Perfect Fit: Precision drilled for 0.040" (1.0mm) wire.

FAQ

The VTS-40 is designed for 0.040-inch (1.0mm) welding wire.

No, Tweco Velocity tips use a threadless drop-in design that is secured by the nozzle.

They will only fit if your gun is a Tweco Fusion series or if your standard gun has been converted to use Velocity consumables.

This package contains 10 individual VTS-40 contact tips.

VTS stands for Velocity Tapered Standard, referring to the tip's external geometry.

Threadless tips have better surface contact for electrical conductivity and heat dissipation, and they don't seize inside the diffuser.

Yes, provided you are using 0.040" aluminum wire and the appropriate liner/gun setup.

Remove the nozzle, drop the tip into the gas diffuser, and reinstall the nozzle to lock the tip in place.
