17302132 - Tweco 15ft Shielding Gas Hose Assembly

Industrial Grade Shielding Gas Delivery

The Tweco 1730-2132 is a premium 15-foot (5-meter) gas hose assembly designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial welding environments. In any Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) or Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) operation, the integrity of the shielding gas delivery system is paramount. Leaks, kinks, or inferior hose materials can lead to atmospheric contamination of the weld pool, resulting in porosity and compromised structural integrity. This Tweco assembly is engineered to eliminate those risks, providing a robust conduit for Argon, CO2, and mixed shielding gases.

Constructed from high-quality, reinforced materials, this hose is built to withstand the abrasion and mechanical stress common on shop floors. The outer jacket resists cuts and tears, while the inner lining is formulated to maintain purity and prevent gas permeation. The 15-foot length offers significant operational flexibility, allowing wire feeders or welding machines to be positioned at a convenient distance from gas cylinders or manifold systems without stretching or stressing the connections.

Procurement specialists and facility managers will appreciate the reliability inherent in the Tweco brand. This assembly comes pre-fitted with standard connections, reducing installation time and ensuring immediate compatibility with existing industrial equipment. By investing in genuine Tweco replacement parts, operations can minimize maintenance intervals and reduce the overhead associated with gas loss due to leakage. The 1730-2132 is an essential stock item for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) inventories supporting fabrication sectors.

Technical Reliability

Consistency is key in automated and manual welding alike. This gas hose assembly maintains a constant internal diameter even when flexed, ensuring that the flow rate set at the regulator is the flow rate delivered to the solenoid or feeder. This consistency supports stable arc characteristics and predictable weld bead profiles. Whether used for stationary bench work or mobile fabrication carts, the Tweco 15ft gas hose delivers the performance required for code-quality welding.
