201247 - Miller FC-1150 Replacement Gooseneck, 25 Degree Bend

Product Overview

The Miller 201247 is a specialized replacement gooseneck assembly engineered specifically for the Miller FC-1150 series of MIG welding guns. In the realm of industrial welding, the gooseneck (or conductor tube) serves as the critical bridge between the gun handle and the contact tip, responsible for directing the welding wire to the joint while conducting the full welding current. This particular model features a 25-degree bend, a standard configuration that balances reach and ergonomics for a wide variety of fabrication tasks.

Manufactured to Miller's exacting OEM standards, this component is built to withstand the rigorous conditions often associated with the FC-1150 gun, which is frequently utilized in heavy structural steel and flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) applications. The robust construction ensures that the neck maintains its structural integrity even when subjected to the high radiant heat and spatter typical of high-amperage welding. The internal geometry is precision-machined to facilitate smooth wire feeding, minimizing drag and preventing bird-nesting issues that can occur with inferior aftermarket replacements.

Proper maintenance of the MIG gun neck is essential for consistent weld quality. Over time, goosenecks can become clogged with spatter, threads can wear down from frequent contact tip changes, or the insulation can degrade. Replacing a damaged unit with the Miller 201247 ensures that the gas flow (if using gas-shielded flux core) and electrical current are delivered efficiently to the work piece. This part is sold individually and is designed for direct fitment without modification.
