16401144 - Tweco Eliminator Flexible Gooseneck 80 Degree

Genuine Tweco Replacement Conductor Tube for Industrial Applications

The Tweco 1640-1144 is a premium replacement conductor tube designed specifically for the Tweco Eliminator (EL) series of MIG welding guns. In high-volume industrial manufacturing and fabrication environments, the integrity of the MIG gun's front-end consumables is critical for maintaining consistent arc quality and minimizing downtime. This conductor tube, often referred to as a gooseneck, serves as the primary conduit for welding wire, shielding gas, and welding current to the contact tip. The 1640-1144 distinguishes itself with a flexible design, allowing for minor adjustments in the neck angle to accommodate complex fixture geometries and difficult-to-access weld joints.

Constructed to Tweco's rigorous OEM standards, this conductor tube features an 80-degree bend, which is a standard configuration for many vertical and overhead welding procedures. The internal copper structure ensures maximum electrical conductivity, reducing resistance and heat buildup during prolonged welding cycles. The outer jacket is engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of the welding environment, resisting damage from radiant heat, spatter, and abrasion. By utilizing genuine Tweco parts like the 1640-1144, facility managers and procurement specialists ensure that their welding equipment operates at peak efficiency, maintaining the original duty cycle and performance ratings of their Eliminator series guns.

Installation of the 1640-1144 is straightforward, designed to fit seamlessly into the handle of compatible EL guns. This ease of maintenance is essential for reducing service intervals and keeping production lines moving. Whether replacing a damaged neck or outfitting a gun for a specific application requiring a flexible approach, this component delivers the reliability expected from the Tweco brand. It is an essential stock item for MRO inventories supporting fabrication shops using Tweco Eliminator equipment.
