16201376 - Tweco VCTLS6245 Velocity2 MIG Gun Gooseneck 45 Degree Long Reach

Product Overview

The Tweco 1620-1376 is a specialized Conductor Tube from the Velocity2 series, identified by the part number VCTLS6245. This component serves as the primary structural and electrical conduit for the front end of compatible Tweco MIG guns. It is engineered to interface directly with the Velocity2 line of consumables, which are renowned for their threadless or coarse-thread designs that promote better thermal transfer and electrical stability. This specific model features a 45-degree bend angle and a "Long Reach" geometry, distinguishing it from standard length tubes.

Technical Specifications

Manufactured from high-purity copper, the tube is designed to handle the high amperage loads typical of industrial MIG welding applications. The 45-degree angle provides a balance between vertical down and horizontal welding capabilities, while the extended length allows the operator to position the nozzle into deep channels, corners, or around obstructions that standard necks cannot reach. The insulation material surrounding the tube is heat-resistant and durable, protecting the gun from short circuits when contacting the workpiece.

Compatibility and Application

This conductor tube is intended for use with Tweco MIG guns that have been configured for or upgraded to the Velocity2 system. It is a direct replacement part for damaged or worn goosenecks. Proper installation ensures that the gas flow path remains laminar and that the electrical connection to the contact tip is secure. Industrial procurement specialists should verify the specific gun model and desired reach requirements before ordering, as Tweco offers various angles (e.g., 60 degree) and lengths in the Velocity series.
