10201113 - Tweco Classic No. 2 MIG Gun, 200A, 15ft, Tweco Connection

Industry Standard Reliability: Tweco Classic No. 2

The Tweco Classic No. 2 MIG Gun (SKU: 1020-1113) represents the gold standard in medium-duty semi-automatic welding. For decades, the "Classic" series has been the preferred choice for metal fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and industrial manufacturing facilities due to its proven track record of longevity and performance. This specific configuration features a 15-foot (4.6 meter) cable assembly, providing ample reach for working around large assemblies or fixtures without moving the wire feeder constantly.

Rated at 200 Amps at a 60% duty cycle (using CO2 gas), the Classic No. 2 is perfectly sized for general fabrication work involving mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. It utilizes the widely available Tweco 14 Series contact tips and 22 Series gas nozzles, ensuring that consumable replenishment is never an issue. The gun is designed with a Tweco-style rear connection, making it instantly compatible with the vast majority of wire feeders and power sources that adhere to this industry-standard connection type.

Maintenance and serviceability are core strengths of the Tweco Classic line. The gun features a metal-jacketed conductor tube that resists damage from drops and impacts. The trigger mechanism is robust and designed for millions of cycles, yet it is easily accessible for cleaning or replacement if necessary. The 15-foot cable utilizes a coaxial design, which optimizes the electrical conductivity while maintaining the flexibility required for operator comfort during long shifts. For procurement managers and shop foremen, the Tweco Classic No. 2 offers an unbeatable balance of initial cost, operational life, and consumable availability.

Technical Excellence

The 1020-1113 model is engineered to handle wire diameters typically ranging from .023" to .045", making it versatile for sheet metal work up to medium plate welding. The air-cooled design eliminates the need for water coolers and complex plumbing, simplifying the welding setup. Heavy-duty steel springs provide strain relief at both the handle and the feeder connection, protecting the internal copper stranding and liner from kinking or breaking during aggressive use.
