17402116 - Tweco No. 4 MIG Gun Replacement Cable Assembly 12ft 400A

Genuine Tweco 1740-2116 Cablehoz Assembly

The Tweco 1740-2116 is a premium replacement Cablehoz® assembly designed specifically for the Tweco No. 4 air-cooled MIG gun series. This assembly serves as the critical link between the welding machine and the gun handle, transmitting welding current, shielding gas, and control signals. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of industrial fabrication, this 12-foot assembly is rated for 400 Amps, ensuring consistent power delivery and thermal management during extended welding sessions.

The term "Cablehoz" refers to Tweco's proprietary design which integrates the power conductor and the gas hose into a single, cohesive unit. This design not only reduces the bulk of the cable, making it lighter and more flexible for the operator, but also utilizes the shielding gas to help cool the power cable during operation. The 1740-2116 features high-grade copper stranding optimized for maximum conductivity and minimal voltage drop, ensuring a stable arc even at the full 12-foot reach.

Durability is a key feature of this assembly. The outer jacket is constructed from a specialized rubber compound that offers excellent resistance to abrasion, cuts, oil, and heat—common hazards in welding environments. The assembly includes the necessary mechanical connections to interface securely with the rear adaptor and the gun handle, preventing gas leaks and ensuring a solid electrical connection. For maintenance and repair of Tweco No. 4 equipment, using genuine Tweco parts like the 1740-2116 ensures compatibility and maintains the safety and performance standards of the original equipment.
