The Lincoln Electric K1500-3 is a specialized gun receiver bushing designed to facilitate the connection of Tweco #5 MIG welding guns to Lincoln Electric wire feeders. This component is essential for industrial supply chains and maintenance operations that utilize Lincoln power sources but require the heavy-duty performance of Tweco-style gun back ends. The bushing installs directly onto the wire feeder face, providing a secure and conductive port for the gun pin.
This receiver bushing is engineered to work seamlessly with specific Lincoln connector kits, notably the K613-7 and K613-2. It ensures that the gas flow, electrical current, and wire feed path are perfectly aligned between the feeder and the gun. In addition to standard Tweco #5 guns, the K1500-3 is also the correct receiver for Lincoln Magnum 550 gun and cable assemblies that utilize the K613-7 connection. It is a critical component for ensuring cross-brand compatibility in mixed-fleet welding environments.
Manufactured to Lincoln Electric's high standards, this bushing offers robust durability to withstand the heat and mechanical stress associated with high-amperage MIG welding. It serves as a critical adapter, allowing for equipment optimization without compromising on arc stability or feeding performance. The unit is designed for easy replacement and secure fitment, minimizing downtime during gun changeovers.
