16201369 - Tweco FVCTS45 Fusion Velocity MIG Gun Gooseneck 45 Degree

Restore Precision with the Tweco Velocity Conductor Tube

The Tweco 1620-1369 (FVCTS45) Conductor Tube is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the Tweco Fusion Velocity series of MIG guns. In the demanding environment of industrial welding, the conductor tube—often referred to as the gooseneck or swan neck—serves as the backbone of the torch's front end. It is responsible for guiding the welding wire from the cable assembly to the contact tip while maintaining the structural integrity required to withstand high heat and mechanical stress. This particular model features a standard 45-degree bend, which is the most versatile angle for general fabrication, allowing welders to access joints comfortably in flat, horizontal, and vertical positions.

Manufactured from high-grade copper alloy, the FVCTS45 ensures excellent thermal dissipation and electrical conductivity. Over time, conductor tubes can become damaged due to accidental drops, excessive spatter buildup, or thread wear from frequent consumable changes. A compromised tube can lead to erratic wire feeding, poor arc starts, and shielding gas turbulence. Replacing a worn unit with this genuine Tweco part restores the gun's original performance parameters, ensuring that the Velocity consumables seat correctly and the gas flow remains laminar for optimal weld pool protection.

The Fusion Velocity platform is renowned for its performance, and maintaining the integrity of the conductor tube is essential to leveraging that performance. This tube is engineered to mate perfectly with Velocity gas diffusers and nozzle assemblies, creating a sealed system that minimizes gas leaks and maximizes efficiency. Whether you are repairing a damaged gun or keeping a spare on hand for preventative maintenance, the Tweco 1620-1369 offers the reliability professional welders expect from the Tweco brand.

Key Benefits for Industrial Welders

• OEM Compatibility: Guaranteed fit for Tweco Fusion Velocity MIG guns, eliminating guesswork during maintenance.
• Optimized Ergonomics: The 45-degree angle reduces wrist strain during long welding sessions and provides good visibility of the puddle.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand the thermal cycles and physical abuse typical of heavy manufacturing environments.
