16501102 - Tweco 65-60 Gooseneck for No. 5 MIG Gun

Tweco 1650-1102 Conductor Tube Overview

The Tweco 1650-1102, also known as the 65-60 Conductor Tube, is a critical replacement component designed for the Tweco Classic No. 5 air-cooled MIG gun series. This conductor tube serves as the structural and electrical bridge between the gun handle and the consumables (diffuser, tip, and nozzle). Manufactured to Tweco's rigorous industrial standards, this part ensures that welding operations maintain high efficiency and safety. The tube features a standard 60-degree bend, which is the most common configuration for general fabrication, offering a balance between reach and operator comfort.

Constructed from high-grade copper alloy, the 1650-1102 is engineered to handle the thermal and electrical stresses associated with heavy-duty welding applications rated up to 500 amps. The metal body is encased in durable insulation material to prevent inadvertent arcing if the neck contacts the workpiece. Over time, conductor tubes can become clogged with spatter, threads can strip, or the internal liner path can degrade; replacing the tube with a genuine Tweco 65-60 unit restores the gun's performance parameters to factory specifications.

This unit is designed for seamless integration with existing Tweco No. 5 setups, ensuring that gas flow remains laminar and wire feeding stays smooth. It accepts standard Tweco consumables and liners. For procurement and maintenance teams, stocking the 1650-1102 ensures minimal downtime for welding stations utilizing the robust No. 5 platform.
