Tweco® Tapered Contact Tip accommodates 0.052" aluminum welding wire and is perfect for protecting the quality of your welds as well as the life of your gun. Contact tip with excellent electrical properties is ideal for use in standard welding application up to 600 A. It features part number and wire diameter for easy identification. 1 1/2" Contact tip with M8 X 1.25-6g thread size has 0.064" nominal ID and 0.375" OD. Contact tip is made from extruded or gun-drilled 122 DHP copper alloy and machined from a copper alloy tubing to offer a consistent as well as smooth surface of inside diameter with +/-0.003" tolerance. It has threaded style that ensures proper contact with a gas diffuser when installed to the MIG gun. It comes in slip-on or thread-on nozzle styles with a choice of diameter bore sizes. Contact tip locks in place when twisted and offers better electrical conductivity with increased surface contact. Contact tip features thick-walled design that acts like a heat sink conducting heat away from the arc source. It can be twisted quarter turn clockwise when tip wear point is reached that reveals a new wear point for doubling the life of the tip. Contact tip is sold as 25 per pack.

Features

  • Machined from a copper alloy tubing providing a consistent and smooth inside diameter surface
  • Twist it and it locks in place
  • Inside diameter tolerance is held to +/-.003 in
  • Threaded style contact tip to ensure proper contact with a gas diffuser when installed to the MIG gun
  • No threads to worry about
  • Excellent electrical properties
  • When tip wear point is reached after use, twist it half turn counter-clockwise to expose a new wear point
  • Thick-walled diffuser design acts as -œheat sink- and conducts heat away from the arc source
  • Easy identification - each contact tip is marked showing part no and wire diameter
  • Increases electrical conductive surface area and thereby increases electrical conductivity
  • Increased surface contact between contact tip/diffuser for better electrical conductivity
  • This doubles the life of the tip
