OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Performance with the Tweco Classic No. 5

When it comes to industrial welding, reliability is non-negotiable. The Tweco No. 5 Air Cooled MIG Gun (Part Number: 1050-1613) represents the gold standard in high-amperage, air-cooled GMAW performance. Known affectionately in the industry as the "Classic," this gun is built to withstand the most demanding fabrication environments without skipping a beat. Whether you are working in heavy equipment manufacturing, structural steel, or general fabrication, the Tweco No. 5 delivers consistent arc stability and rugged durability.

This specific model is rated for 500 Amps, making it a powerhouse for depositing large amounts of metal efficiently. It comes pre-configured with a 15-foot cable, giving welders the necessary reach to move around large workpieces without constantly repositioning the wire feeder. The gun is set up for 1/16" (1.6mm) wire, ideal for heavy plate welding where deposition rates matter. One of the standout features of this configuration is the Euro-Kwik connection. This universal style backend allows the gun to plug directly into any wire feeder equipped with a Euro-style receptacle, offering versatility across different machine brands.

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime is costly. That is why we recommend the Tweco Classic series. Its simple design means that consumables—contact tips, nozzles, and diffusers—are easy to replace and widely available. The air-cooled design removes the complexity of water cooling systems, reducing maintenance points while still handling high heat loads effectively. If you need a MIG gun that feels right in the hand and performs shift after shift, the Tweco No. 5 is the proven choice for professional welders.
