The American Weldquip 180° 8-Inch Gooseneck (Part Number: 400-507CA) is a specialized component designed for industrial MIG welding applications requiring a straight-line approach. Unlike standard curved necks, this 180-degree assembly allows the welding gun to access deep cavities, narrow gaps, or specific fixture alignments where a bend would be obstructive. Manufactured to American Weldquip's rigorous standards, this gooseneck ensures optimal electrical conductivity and thermal management, crucial for maintaining arc stability during prolonged welding sessions.
This component features a robust construction compatible with American Weldquip MIG gun systems. The 8-inch length offers a balance between reach and control, allowing the operator to maintain a comfortable distance from the weld pool while ensuring precise wire placement. The internal liner path is machined to minimize friction, promoting smooth wire feeding even with softer alloys like aluminum. The outer armor is designed to resist spatter adhesion and mechanical impact, extending the service life of the torch in harsh industrial environments.
Identified by the reference 400-507CA, this gooseneck is engineered for seamless integration with compatible American Weldquip handle assemblies. It is particularly useful in fabrication sectors such as heavy equipment manufacturing, structural steel, and automotive assembly where standard torch geometries limit accessibility. Regular inspection and maintenance of the gooseneck are recommended to prevent gas leaks and ensure consistent shielding coverage.
