16401408 - Tweco Velocity Conductor Tube Insulator - Pack of 5

OEM Insulation for Tweco Velocity Platforms

The ESAB Tweco 1640-1408 is a specialized insulator designed for the conductor tube of Tweco Velocity MIG welding guns. This component is critical for maintaining the electrical integrity of the welding torch, serving as a dielectric barrier between the electrically live conductor tube and the outer components or the nozzle assembly, depending on the specific torch configuration. Manufactured to precise OEM specifications, this insulator ensures a tight fit that prevents gas leakage and maintains the structural alignment of the front-end consumables.

Constructed from high-grade, heat-resistant composite materials, the 1640-1408 insulator is engineered to withstand the intense thermal cycling inherent in industrial MIG welding operations. It resists charring and degradation that can lead to electrical tracking or short circuits. For procurement and inventory management, this item is supplied in a pack of 5, allowing for efficient stocking levels in tool cribs and maintenance departments. Regular inspection and replacement of the conductor tube insulator are recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule to avoid unexpected downtime and ensure consistent weld quality.

Compatibility is key with high-performance MIG platforms like the Velocity series. Using genuine Tweco parts guarantees that the gas flow characteristics designed into the torch are preserved, as the insulator often plays a role in directing shielding gas. This part is identified by the industry-standard part number 1640-1408 and is a direct replacement for worn or damaged original equipment.
