10281108 - Tweco Eliminator ELC212 MIG Gun, 250A, 12ft, .040-.045 Wire, Tweco Connection

Industrial-Grade 250A MIG Welding Gun

The Tweco Eliminator ELC212 (Part No. 1028-1108) is a premium air-cooled MIG gun designed for medium-to-heavy duty industrial fabrication. Rated at 250 Amps at a 60% duty cycle using CO2 gas, this gun provides the thermal capacity required for sustained welding operations on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum applications. The "ELC" designation refers to the Eliminator Compact series, which prioritizes a reduced handle profile without sacrificing the robust power delivery Tweco is known for. This specific configuration is outfitted with a 12-foot (3.6-meter) cable assembly and is factory-ready for wire diameters ranging from 0.040" to 0.045" (1.0mm - 1.2mm).

Engineered for efficiency, the Eliminator series incorporates a unique conductor tube design and consumable platform. The front-end consumables—including the nozzle, contact tip, and gas diffuser—are designed to optimize gas coverage and electrical conductivity, reducing downtime associated with frequent consumable changes. The gun features a standard Tweco backend connection, ensuring seamless compatibility with a vast array of wire feeders and power sources that utilize the Tweco style adapter. The cable assembly is constructed with high-grade copper stranding and a durable outer jacket that resists abrasion, cuts, and heat, making it suitable for harsh shop environments.

A key technical advantage of the ELC212 is its ergonomic engineering. The handle geometry is designed to fit naturally in the operator's hand, while the patented ball-and-socket connection at the handle base allows the cable to articulate freely. This design minimizes the torque transferred to the welder's wrist, thereby reducing the risk of repetitive strain injuries (RSI) and improving overall weld consistency. The conductor tube is also rotatable, allowing maintenance personnel or welders to adjust the angle of the neck to access difficult-to-reach joints without twisting the entire gun assembly.

This product is an ideal solution for manufacturing facilities, automotive repair shops, and general fabrication centers requiring a reliable 250A torch that balances durability with operator comfort. The 12-foot length offers a practical working radius for bench work and jig fixtures, ensuring the cable remains manageable and less prone to kinking.
