16201375 - Tweco Velocity2 60-Degree Long Reach Conductor Tube

Technical Overview of the Tweco 1620-1375 (VCTLS6260)

The Tweco 1620-1375, also identified by the part number VCTLS6260, is a precision-engineered conductor tube designed for the Velocity2 series of MIG welding guns. This component serves as the critical structural and electrical link between the gun handle and the consumable front end. Manufactured by ESAB under the Tweco brand, this tube is constructed from high-grade copper alloy to ensure maximum electrical conductivity and thermal dissipation during high-amperage welding operations.

The "6260" designation indicates a specific geometry: a 60-degree bend angle which provides a distinct ergonomic advantage for overhead or positional welding where standard 45-degree necks may cause wrist strain or limit visibility. The "LS" in the part code typically denotes a "Long Reach" configuration, offering additional length compared to standard tubes, which is essential for reaching into deep channels, corners, or around fixtures without exposing the gun handle to excessive radiant heat.

This conductor tube is fully compatible with the Velocity2 consumable platform, which utilizes threadless contact tips and integrated gas diffusers for superior arc stability. Maintenance personnel and tool crib managers should verify the specific gun model series before procurement, as the Velocity2 interface differs from legacy Spray Master or Tweco Classic connections. The tube features a robust outer insulation layer to prevent electrical shorting against the workpiece and is designed for rapid change-outs to minimize downtime in production environments.
