Industrial-Grade Replacement Neck for Bernard MIG Systems<\/h2>\n
The Bernard QT5-60 Neck is a premium replacement component designed specifically for the rigorous demands of heavy industrial manufacturing and fabrication. Part of the renowned Q-Tube assembly line, this neck features a 60-degree bend and an R5 (medium) length profile, making it a versatile choice for a wide array of welding applications. Engineered for compatibility with Bernard Q-Gun and the modular BTB (Best of the Best) MIG gun series, the QT5-60 ensures seamless integration into existing equipment fleets, minimizing downtime associated with part incompatibility.<\/p>\n\n
Constructed with a robust aluminum armor, the QT5-60 is built to withstand the extreme heat, spatter, and physical impact common in shipyard, structural steel, and heavy equipment manufacturing environments. The aluminum outer jacket not only provides physical protection but also aids in heat dissipation, keeping the front-end consumables cooler and extending their service life. This thermal management is critical for maintaining consistent electrical conductivity and weld quality over high-duty cycle operations.<\/p>\n\n
From a procurement and maintenance perspective, the QT5-60 offers significant value through its durability and ease of installation. The Q-Tube design allows for quick changeovers, reducing the labor hours required for torch maintenance. Its standardized connection interface ensures a secure fit that prevents gas leaks and maintains optimal shielding gas coverage. By investing in genuine Bernard replacement necks, facility managers can ensure their welding operations maintain peak efficiency and safety standards.<\/p>\n\n
This assembly is supplied as a complete unit, ready for immediate installation. It supports a variety of consumable systems, including Centerfire, Quik Tip, and TOUGH LOCK, allowing users to tailor the front-end setup to their specific process requirements. Whether replacing a damaged unit or reconfiguring a torch for a specific joint geometry, the Bernard QT5-60 delivers the reliability and performance expected from an industry leader.<\/p>","product_description_text":"Industrial-Grade Replacement Neck for Bernard MIG Systems\nThe Bernard QT5-60 Neck is a premium replacement component designed specifically for the rigorous demands of heavy industrial manufacturing and fabrication.

Part of the renowned Q-Tube assembly line, this neck features a 60-degree bend and an R5 (medium) length profile, making it a versatile choice for a wide array of welding applications. Engineered for compatibility with Bernard Q-Gun and the modular BTB (Best of the Best) MIG gun series, the QT5-60 ensures seamless integration into existing equipment fleets, minimizing downtime associated with part incompatibility.<\/p>\n\n
Constructed with a robust aluminum armor, the QT5-60 is built to withstand the extreme heat, spatter, and physical impact common in shipyard, structural steel, and heavy equipment manufacturing environments. The aluminum outer jacket not only provides physical protection but also aids in heat dissipation, keeping the front-end consumables cooler and extending their service life. This thermal management is critical for maintaining consistent electrical conductivity and weld quality over high-duty cycle operations.<\/p>\n\n
From a procurement and maintenance perspective, the QT5-60 offers significant value through its durability and ease of installation. The Q-Tube design allows for quick changeovers, reducing the labor hours required for torch maintenance. Its standardized connection interface ensures a secure fit that prevents gas leaks and maintains optimal shielding gas coverage. By investing in genuine Bernard replacement necks, facility managers can ensure their welding operations maintain peak efficiency and safety standards.<\/p>\n\n
This assembly is supplied as a complete unit, ready for immediate installation. It supports a variety of consumable systems, including Centerfire, Quik Tip, and TOUGH LOCK, allowing users to tailor the front-end setup to their specific process requirements. Whether replacing a damaged unit or reconfiguring a torch for a specific joint geometry, the Bernard QT5-60 delivers the reliability and performance expected from an industry leader.<\/p>","product_description_text":"Industrial-Grade Replacement Neck for Bernard MIG Systems\nThe Bernard QT5-60 Neck is a premium replacement component designed specifically for the rigorous demands of heavy industrial manufacturing and fabrication.

OVERVIEW
Industrial-Grade Replacement Neck for Bernard MIG Systems
The Bernard QT5-60 Neck is a premium replacement component designed specifically for the rigorous demands of heavy industrial manufacturing and fabrication. Part of the renowned Q-Tube assembly line, this neck features a 60-degree bend and an R5 (medium) length profile, making it a versatile choice for a wide array of welding applications. Engineered for compatibility with Bernard Q-Gun and the modular BTB (Best of the Best) MIG gun series, the QT5-60 ensures seamless integration into existing equipment fleets, minimizing downtime associated with part incompatibility.
Constructed with a robust aluminum armor, the QT5-60 is built to withstand the extreme heat, spatter, and physical impact common in shipyard, structural steel, and heavy equipment manufacturing environments. The aluminum outer jacket not only provides physical protection but also aids in heat dissipation, keeping the front-end consumables cooler and extending their service life. This thermal management is critical for maintaining consistent electrical conductivity and weld quality over high-duty cycle operations.
From a procurement and maintenance perspective, the QT5-60 offers significant value through its durability and ease of installation. The Q-Tube design allows for quick changeovers, reducing the labor hours required for torch maintenance. Its standardized connection interface ensures a secure fit that prevents gas leaks and maintains optimal shielding gas coverage. By investing in genuine Bernard replacement necks, facility managers can ensure their welding operations maintain peak efficiency and safety standards.
This assembly is supplied as a complete unit, ready for immediate installation. It supports a variety of consumable systems, including Centerfire, Quik Tip, and TOUGH LOCK, allowing users to tailor the front-end setup to their specific process requirements. Whether replacing a damaged unit or reconfiguring a torch for a specific joint geometry, the Bernard QT5-60 delivers the reliability and performance expected from an industry leader.

FAQ
The QT5-60 is compatible with Bernard Q-Gun, S-Gun, and the modular BTB (Best of the Best) MIG gun series.
R5 refers to the length and radius of the neck. In Bernard's sizing, R5 indicates a medium length neck, offering a balance between reach and control.
Yes, when installed on compatible Bernard gun handles, the Q-Tube assembly can be rotated to improve welder comfort and access to joints.
No, the QT5-60 is the neck assembly only. Contact tips, nozzles, and diffusers (Centerfire, Quik Tip, etc.) must be purchased separately.
Ensure the gun is cool and disconnected. Loosen the retaining nut or collar at the handle, remove the old neck, insert the QT5-60, and tighten the retention mechanism securely.
A 60-degree bend provides a steeper angle than standard 45-degree necks, allowing for better access into deep grooves, corners, and overhead positions.
Typically, the neck acts as a conduit. While it may have an internal jump liner depending on the specific configuration, the main gun liner usually runs through the handle up to the diffuser. Check your specific gun manual for liner trimming instructions.
The neck is designed to handle the full amperage range of standard Bernard Q-Guns, typically rated up to 400-600 amps depending on the shielding gas and duty cycle used.
