10261108 - Tweco RemovAir 260 Amp Fume Extraction MIG Gun 10ft

Industrial Fume Extraction Solution

The ESAB Tweco 260C Air-Cooled Fume Extraction MIG Gun (SKU: 10261108) is a premium solution for industrial welding environments requiring strict adherence to air quality standards. Engineered for heavy-duty fabrication, this 260-amp gun integrates source-capture technology directly into the nozzle assembly, effectively removing hazardous welding fumes before they enter the welder's breathing zone or the general shop atmosphere. The unit is rated for a 60% duty cycle using CO2 gas, making it suitable for continuous production welding in mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum applications.

Technically, the 260C utilizes a coaxial cable design that houses the power conductor, gas hose, wire liner, and vacuum channel within a single, durable outer sheath. This design minimizes bulk while maximizing suction efficiency. The gun connects to standard high-vacuum extraction units via a swivel connection, preventing hose kinking and maintaining consistent airflow. The rear connection is a standard Tweco style, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of wire feeders and power sources commonly found in North American fabrication shops. Maintenance is streamlined through the use of standard Tweco consumables, including 11 Series contact tips and 52 Series gas diffusers, reducing inventory complexity for MRO managers.

The vacuum shroud is adjustable, allowing operators to balance gas coverage with fume capture velocity, critical for maintaining weld quality in drafty environments. The gun's robust construction withstands the rigors of industrial use, featuring impact-resistant handle materials and reinforced strain reliefs at both the gun and feeder ends. For facilities prioritizing hexavalent chromium compliance and general particulate reduction, the Tweco 260C represents a reliable, high-performance investment.
