OVERVIEW

The Legend You Trust

If you've been in the welding game for any amount of time, you know the Tweco Classic No. 4. It’s the gun that set the standard. When you pick up this 400-amp beast, you aren't just holding a torch; you're holding a piece of welding history that is built to take a beating. This model (1040-1902) comes with a 12-foot cable, giving you enough slack to move around your workpiece without getting tangled in excess hose, ensuring your wire feeds smooth and steady every time you pull the trigger.

Built for the Grind
We know that shop floors aren't gentle places. That's why the Classic 4 features a high-impact handle and a metal-jacketed neck. Drop it, drag it, or accidentally step on it—this gun keeps on firing. The air-cooled design uses heavy copper stranding to keep the heat in the arc and away from your hand, so you can stay comfortable even when you're burning wire at high amperages all day long. The trigger action is crisp and reliable, designed to minimize finger fatigue during those long beads.

Easy Maintenance, Less Downtime
Nothing is worse than a gun that's a nightmare to fix. The Tweco Classic 4 is famous for being welder-friendly. You don't need a degree in engineering to swap out a liner or change a contact tip. The nozzle slips on and off easily, and the contact tips (the standard 14 series you likely already have in your box) are durable and conductive. If you ever snag the cable, the mechanical connections mean you can often fix it right there on the bench instead of throwing the whole gun in the trash.

Whether you are welding structural beams, fixing heavy machinery, or fabricating custom parts, the Tweco Classic No. 4 gives you the power and reliability you need to lay down perfect welds, shift after shift.

FAQ

The Tweco Classic No. 4 is rated at 400 Amps at a 60% duty cycle when using CO2 shielding gas.

It uses standard Tweco consumables: 14 Series contact tips, 24 Series gas nozzles, and 54 Series gas diffusers.

This model features a standard Tweco-style rear connection, compatible with wire feeders that accept Tweco adapters.

Yes, the Classic No. 4 features mechanical cable connections (screws/clamps) rather than crimped connections, making it field-repairable.

While typically set up for .035"-.045" wire out of the box, the gun is rated to handle wire diameters up to 5/64" (2.0 mm) with the correct liner and tip.

A 12ft cable is a standard length that offers a good balance; it provides enough reach for bench work and medium assemblies without the feeding issues sometimes associated with 15ft or 25ft guns.

Yes, the gun comes fully assembled with a conduit liner installed, typically sized for standard steel wires.

The conductor tube (neck) on the Classic series is fixed in position relative to the handle to ensure maximum durability and conductivity, though the nozzle can be adjusted.
