Tweco Nozzle – #4 Nozzle (24CT62) and Tweco #5 Nozzle (25CT62)

R142,03

Specifications & Comparison

Property 24CT62 (Tweco #4) 25CT62 (Tweco #5)
Thread Type Coarse Thread (“CT”) for #4 series guns (“Tweco #4 / 14‑series style”) Coarse Thread for #5 series guns (“Tweco #5 / 25 series style”)
Bore / Internal Diameter Common version: approx 0.625 in bore (≈ 16 mm) for many 24CT62 nozzles. Also ~0.625 in bore for standard 25CT62 versions; used for wire sizes in MIG that demand more gas flow & larger contact tip protection.
Overall Length Examples: ~44.5 mm for a 24CT62S #4 nozzle in coarse thread 16 mm bore version. Example: 25CT62 nozzle sold as 2.2″ length (~55.9 mm) in some listings.
Ampere Rating / Duty Cycle #4 style, heavy-duty variants, up to around ~400‑450 A depending on wire size and cooling. #5 style versions are rated up to ~550 A in certain specs.
Compatible Contact Tip & Diffuser Series Compatible with 14‑series / #4 tips and diffusers. The nozzle screws over the diffuser/insulator fitting designed for #4 torch front ends. Matches #5 series (25 / 25CT‑series) contact tips & diffusers for #5 torches.

Applications / Use Cases

  • For welding operations requiring strong gas shielding over the weld pool, especially in heavier metal thicknesses and longer welds.

  • For jobs where the nozzle may approach the workpiece (tack welding / stitch), recessed tip designs help prevent nozzle damage.

  • Suitable in MIG / MAG, flux‑cored welding, and other processes needing robust protection of the front‑end of the torch.

Maintenance & Performance Tips

  • Keep the nozzle clean of spatter; internal buildup reduces gas flow and causes turbulence in gas coverage.

  • Match nozzle bore to wire size and required gas flow; wrong size reduces performance or can waste shielding gas.

  • Inspect threads (both coarse thread on nozzle and matching diffuser threads) for damage; poor fit leads to gas leaks or overheating.

  • Use correct nozzle‑to‑tip relationship (flush, recessed, protruding) based on application to avoid arc instability or tip burn back.
