OVERVIEW

Reliable Conduit Retention for Tweco MIG Guns

The Tweco 174EX-1C Conduit Nut (2040-2279) is an essential replacement component designed to maintain the integrity of your MIG welding setup. In the demanding world of industrial welding, even the smallest components play a pivotal role in overall performance. This conduit nut is specifically engineered to secure the wire liner (conduit) within the MIG gun assembly, ensuring that the wire feeds smoothly from the feeder to the contact tip without interruption or binding.

Manufactured by Tweco, a leader in welding gun technology, this part meets strict OEM specifications. Using genuine Tweco parts guarantees that your equipment operates as intended, avoiding the fitment issues often associated with generic aftermarket replacements. The 174EX-1C is crafted from high-quality brass alloy, providing excellent durability and resistance to the heat and mechanical stress typical of welding environments. Its precision threading ensures a tight, vibration-resistant fit that keeps the liner firmly anchored during operation.

Over time, conduit nuts can become stripped, lost, or damaged during routine maintenance and liner changes. A compromised nut can lead to liner movement, which results in erratic wire feeding, bird-nesting, and unstable arcs. By replacing worn components with the Tweco 174EX-1C, you restore the mechanical stability of your gun's feeding system. Whether you are repairing a damaged unit or stocking up on critical spares for your shop, this conduit nut is a vital investment in productivity.

At Josef Gas, we understand the importance of having the right parts on hand to minimize downtime. This Tweco conduit nut is compatible with specific Tweco MIG gun models utilizing the 174EX series conduit connections. Ensure your welding operations run smoothly with high-quality, authentic replacement parts.
