OVERVIEW

The Legend of the Shop Floor

If you have spent any time in a heavy fabrication shop, you have likely held a Tweco Classic No. 4. This isn't just a MIG gun; it's an extension of your arm. The SKU 10401912 delivers that familiar, rugged feel with a 15-foot cable that gives you the freedom to move around large weldments without dragging the feeder with you. Rated at 400 Amps, this air-cooled beast is built to handle the heat, letting you lay down long beads on thick structural steel without the handle getting too hot to hold.

Built for the Welder

The Classic No. 4 features the iconic paddle-style trigger that is large enough to operate easily even when wearing heavy welding gloves. The handle shape is oval and textured, providing a secure grip that reduces hand fatigue during long shifts. Unlike lighter-duty guns that feel flimsy, the Classic 4 has a reassuring weight and balance. The metal-jacketed conductor tube is tough enough to use for clearing spatter (though we recommend a pair of pliers!) and resists bending if dropped.

Performance & Maintenance

One of the best things about this gun is how easy it is to keep running. Changing a contact tip or nozzle takes seconds. The Tweco consumables (14 Series tips and 24 Series nozzles) are everywhere, so you never have to worry about hunting for proprietary parts. The 15-foot cable uses a heavy-duty copper stranding that ensures smooth arc starts and stable voltage, even when the cable is looped. The liner is robust and resists kinking, ensuring your wire feeds smoothly whether you are running .035" solid wire or 1/16" flux core.

Key Features for the Operator

  • High Duty Cycle: Weld at 400A (60%) all day long with CO2.
  • Reach: 15 feet of cable lets you access hard-to-reach joints.
  • Durability: Heavy-duty spring strain reliefs protect the cable where it matters most.
  • Comfort: The ergonomic handle stays cooler longer, keeping you comfortable under the hood.

When you need a gun that works as hard as you do, the Tweco Classic No. 4 is the only real choice. It’s simple, it’s tough, and it gets the job done.

FAQ

The Tweco Classic No. 4 is rated at 400 Amps at 60% duty cycle when using CO2 shielding gas. If using mixed gases (like Argon/CO2), the duty cycle or amperage rating may be slightly reduced due to the lower cooling capacity of Argon.

This gun uses standard Tweco consumables: 14 Series contact tips, 24 Series gas nozzles (slip-on or thread-on depending on the diffuser), and 44 Series gas diffusers.

This specific model (1040-1912) comes with a standard Tweco-style rear connection. It is designed to plug directly into wire feeders that accept Tweco #4 connectors.

Yes, the Classic No. 4 is excellent for Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW). You may need to ensure you have the correct liner size and contact tip for the diameter of flux-cored wire you are running.

Yes, the liner is fully replaceable. It is recommended to replace the liner periodically or when changing wire types (e.g., from steel to aluminum, though a polymer liner is needed for aluminum) to ensure smooth feeding.

The cable length for this SKU (10401912) is 15 feet (approximately 4.6 meters).

Tweco products typically carry a manufacturer's warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Please check the specific warranty terms for the Classic series at the time of purchase.
