10462206 - Tweco Smoke Master 450A Replacement Cable Assembly 15ft

Technical Overview of the Tweco Smoke Master Cable Assembly

The Tweco 1046-2206 is a specialized replacement Cablehoz® assembly designed exclusively for the Tweco Smoke Master® series of fume extraction MIG guns. This component is critical for maintaining the dual functionality of the welding system: delivering high-amperage welding current while simultaneously evacuating hazardous fumes from the weld zone. The assembly integrates the power cable, control wires, shielding gas path, and the vacuum extraction hose into a single, cohesive unit, engineered to withstand the rigors of industrial environments.

Rated for 450 Amps, this air-cooled cable assembly utilizes high-grade copper stranding to ensure efficient power transfer with minimal resistive heating. The 15-foot (5-meter) length provides operators with significant mobility around large workpieces without compromising the vacuum pressure required for effective fume capture. The outer jacket is constructed from a durable, heat-resistant polymer that protects the internal components from abrasion, cuts, and spatter, which are common in heavy fabrication settings.

Compatibility and Installation

This cable assembly is the direct OEM replacement for the original cable supplied with Tweco Smoke Master 450A air-cooled guns. It features the specific back-end connections required to interface with the wire feeder and fume extraction unit, as well as the front-end connections for the Smoke Master handle and conductor tube. Proper installation of this Cablehoz is essential for ensuring the integrity of the vacuum seal; a compromised cable can lead to reduced extraction efficiency, exposing the welder to particulate matter. Maintenance personnel should verify that the liner and consumables (sold separately) are also in good condition when replacing the cable assembly to ensure optimal performance.
