The Esab Tweco 415C Air-Cooled Fume Extraction MIG Gun represents a significant step forward in welding safety and industrial hygiene. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern fabrication environments, this 15-foot torch integrates high-efficiency fume extraction directly into the gun assembly. By capturing welding fumes, smoke, and particulate matter right at the source—the welding arc—it drastically reduces the amount of hazardous airborne contaminants that enter the welder's breathing zone and the general shop environment. This source-capture method is widely recognized as one of the most effective engineering controls for managing welding fumes, including hexavalent chromium and manganese.
Engineered with the legendary durability of the Tweco brand, the 415C model is an air-cooled gun typically rated for heavy-duty usage (approx. 400A class), making it suitable for high-deposition MIG welding on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. The gun features a standard Euro connection, ensuring broad compatibility with a vast array of European and multi-process welding machines commonly found in industrial settings. The 15-foot cable assembly provides ample reach for working around large weldments while maintaining consistent wire feeding performance.
Despite the added vacuum hose functionality, the Tweco 415C is designed with ergonomics in mind. The handle is contoured to fit comfortably in the hand, minimizing grip force and reducing operator fatigue during long shifts. The vacuum shroud is positioned to maximize capture efficiency without obstructing the welder's view of the puddle. Furthermore, this gun utilizes standard Tweco consumables—contact tips, nozzles, and diffusers—which are readily available and easy to replace, ensuring that your operations remain productive with minimal downtime. Whether you are upgrading your safety protocols or replacing an older fume gun, the Tweco 415C delivers reliable performance and cleaner air.
