Tweco EL16 copper contact tips
These Tweco 358-1160-1611 contact tips are made of copper and sized at .035 inches for use with Tweco EL16 series welding guns.

Arc flash protection and tip life
Copper construction provides good electrical conductivity and heat dissipation during arc welding, helping to maintain a stable arc and reduce tip wear. The material resists spatter buildup under normal parameters, which supports consistent wire feeding and reduces the frequency of tip changes. No cooling or noise specifications apply to this consumable component.

Questions about this item
How do I install the Tweco 358-1160-1611 contact tip into the EL16 series gun, and what step is often missed?
Unscrew the old tip from the diffuser, thread the new .035 copper tip in by hand until seated, then tighten with a wrench; the missed step is checking that the tip sits flush against the diffuser shoulder so the wire feeds straight.
What maintenance or replacement will the Tweco 358-1160-1611 contact tip need during Arc welding use?
Replace the tip when the bore wears oval or spatter blocks the .035 hole; each PK25 pack gives 25 tips, so swap them as arc stability drops — typically every few hours of continuous welding.
