347SM15B - American Weldquip 300A Fume Extraction MIG Gun, 15ft, Euro Connect

Advanced Source Capture for Industrial Safety

The American Weldquip 300A Fume Extraction Gun (Model 347SM15B) represents a critical component in modern industrial hygiene and welding safety compliance. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy fabrication environments, this tool addresses the urgent need for effective hexavalent chromium and manganese fume control by capturing particulates directly at the source. Unlike ambient air filtration systems which allow fumes to travel past the operator's breathing zone, this source-capture solution integrates high-velocity vacuum channels directly into the nozzle assembly, ensuring that hazardous byproducts are removed before they can disperse into the facility.

Engineered with a universal Euro back-end connection, this gun offers seamless integration with a wide variety of European and multi-process welding power sources that support vacuum attachments. The 15-foot cable length provides ample reach for large assemblies while maintaining consistent vacuum pressure. Technical specifications highlight its robustness: the gun is rated for 300 Amps at 100% duty cycle when using CO2, and 250 Amps at 100% duty cycle with mixed gases, making it suitable for continuous, high-deposition welding processes. The air-cooled design utilizes a rugged gooseneck architecture that naturally dissipates heat, protecting internal components and extending the lifecycle of consumables.

Operational control is a key feature of the 347SM15B. It includes an adjustable fume nozzle and a vent control mechanism, allowing safety officers and operators to fine-tune the vacuum velocity. This is essential for maintaining weld quality, as it prevents the vacuum system from turbulence that could disturb the shielding gas envelope. By balancing effective extraction with arc stability, American Weldquip provides a solution that satisfies both OSHA air quality standards and strict quality control requirements.
