OVERVIEW

Technical Overview of the 42-4045-15 Tweco Style Liner

The GEN42-4045-15 is a premium aftermarket replacement conduit liner designed to meet or exceed the specifications of the original Tweco 42-4045-15. Engineered for professional fabrication environments, this liner is compatible with a wide array of industry-standard MIG guns, specifically those in the 180A to 250A range. This includes the classic Tweco Professional Choice No. 1 and No. 2 series, the Spray Master MS250, the Eliminator EL250, and the Lincoln Magnum 250 series which utilizes Tweco-style back-end consumables. It is also suitable for use with Tweco WeldSkill and Fusion series guns ranging from 140A to 250A.

Constructed from high-tensile spring steel, the liner features a zinc plating treatment. This plating serves a dual purpose: it provides essential corrosion resistance, protecting the liner from environmental humidity during storage and use, and it offers a smoother surface finish compared to bare steel. This reduction in friction coefficient is critical for maintaining consistent wire feed speeds, particularly when the gun cable is manipulated into tight positions. The liner is wound to a precise internal diameter to accommodate welding wires ranging from .040" (1.0mm) to .045" (1.2mm), ensuring optimal support for the wire column without causing excessive drag or allowing the wire to buckle inside the conduit.

The back end of the liner is terminated with a machined brass alloy stop. This component is critical for the correct seating of the liner within the power pin or gun block, ensuring gas sealing and electrical continuity where applicable. The brass stop is roll-stamped with the part number for immediate identification, preventing inventory mix-ups in busy tool cribs. With a total length of 15 feet (approx. 4.5 meters), this liner is ready to be installed in standard length cable assemblies, though it can be easily trimmed for shorter 10-foot or 12-foot guns using standard liner trimming procedures.

FAQ

This liner is designed for wire diameters of .040" (1.0mm) and .045" (1.2mm).

Yes, it fits Lincoln Magnum 250 guns that use Tweco-style consumables and back ends.

Signs include erratic wire feeding, the wire slipping at the drive rolls, or the wire burning back to the tip frequently.

No, steel liners are not recommended for aluminum. You should use a Teflon or polymer liner for aluminum to prevent shaving and friction.

This specific SKU (42-4045-15) is 15 feet long. The '15' at the end of the part number denotes the length.

Lay the gun cable flat and straight. Insert the liner until it stops. Measure the stick-out required by your specific gun (usually flush with the gas diffuser or sticking out slightly) and cut with sharp wire cutters.

It is made of zinc-plated spring steel wire.

Yes, the brass alloy stop is crimped onto the back end of the liner.
