12201235 - Tweco Velocity Nozzle 3/8 Inch Extended Tapered

High-Performance Tweco Velocity MIG Nozzle

The Tweco 1220-1235 Velocity Nozzle is a premium consumable designed for professional welders who demand precision and durability. Part of the revolutionary Velocity consumable platform, this nozzle is engineered to solve common welding challenges related to heat management and gas coverage. The 3/8-inch bore size is specifically selected for applications requiring focused gas shielding, often utilized in short-circuit MIG welding or when working on thinner gauge materials where a massive gas envelope is not required.

One of the standout features of this specific model is its "Extended Tapered" geometry. Standard nozzles can be bulky, obstructing the welder's view of the puddle and preventing the gun from accessing tight corners or deep V-grooves. The 1220-1235 solves this by narrowing significantly towards the outlet and extending the reach, granting the operator superior visibility and access. This geometric advantage is crucial for intricate fabrication work where precision is paramount.

Technically, the Velocity series represents a leap forward in MIG gun performance. The nozzle integrates seamlessly with the Velocity conductor tube and contact tip system. By optimizing the copper-to-copper contact surface area, Tweco has improved electrical conductivity and thermal transfer. This means the nozzle stays cooler during operation, reducing the adherence of spatter and prolonging the life of the component. For industrial environments using Tweco Fusion guns or Spray Master guns retrofitted with Velocity front ends, this nozzle is an essential component for maintaining consistent weld quality.

Constructed from high-grade copper alloy, the nozzle resists deformation under heat and withstands the harsh environment of industrial welding. Its robust design ensures that it maintains its shape and bore diameter even after prolonged use, ensuring consistent gas flow characteristics throughout its lifespan.
