OVERVIEW

Genuine Miller 196849 Head Tube Assembly

Maintain the reliability and performance of your Miller MIG welding equipment with the genuine Miller 196849 Head Tube Assembly. As a critical component of your MIG gun, the head tube (often referred to as the gooseneck or conductor tube) is responsible for guiding the welding wire, conducting the welding current, and directing the shielding gas to the weld pool. Over time, heat stress, spatter buildup, and mechanical wear can degrade the tube, leading to poor conductivity, erratic arcs, or wire feeding issues.

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime costs money. That is why we stock authentic OEM parts like this Miller head tube. Designed specifically for Miller welding guns, this assembly ensures a perfect fit and seamless integration with your existing equipment. Unlike aftermarket alternatives that may compromise on material quality or dimensional accuracy, this OEM part is built to Miller's rigorous standards, ensuring it can withstand the thermal cycles and physical demands of industrial welding environments.

Replacing a damaged or worn head tube is often the solution to persistent wire feeding problems or gas coverage issues. If your current tube is bent, clogged, or showing signs of internal wear, swapping it for a new 196849 assembly can restore your gun to like-new performance. Trust Josef Gas for all your welding maintenance needs and keep your operations running smoothly with high-quality replacement parts.
