K119 - Lincoln Electric K119 Flux Cone Assembly for K112/K113 Guns

Maximize Portability with the K119 Flux Cone

For professional welders utilizing the Lincoln K112 or K113 guns, the K119 Flux Cone is an indispensable tool for adapting your equipment to diverse job site conditions. While continuous flux feeding tanks are excellent for high-volume, stationary fabrication, they can become a hindrance in field applications or during intricate repair work. The K119 Flux Cone solves this problem by converting your gun for use without the continuous tank assembly, effectively putting the control of flux delivery right at the nozzle. This is crucial for Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) or specific flux-cored applications where the granular flux must be piled around the arc to shield the molten pool.

The design of the K119 focuses on flow dynamics and heat resistance. When welding, the cone acts as a localized hopper and guide, ensuring that a sufficient layer of flux covers the arc to prevent atmospheric contamination. Without this cone, attempting to weld without the tank assembly would result in insufficient shielding, leading to weld defects such as porosity and cracking. The cone is shaped to allow for clear visibility of the joint path while maintaining a substantial mound of flux around the wire tip. Its robust construction resists the radiant heat from the arc, preventing deformation that could disrupt flux flow.

Installation is straightforward, allowing for quick changeovers in the shop or field. If you are transitioning from a mechanized setup to a manual, handheld operation, snapping on the K119 is a key step in that conversion. It is designed to mate perfectly with the front-end parts of the K112 and K113, ensuring that there are no gaps for flux to spill out prematurely. This efficiency reduces waste and keeps the work area cleaner.

Furthermore, for welders working on heavy structural steel, pipe, or shipbuilding where K112/K113 guns are often employed, having a K119 in your kit ensures you are never limited by the reach of your flux tank hoses. It empowers the operator to take the gun into tighter access areas, maintaining high-quality deposition rates and mechanical properties in the weld metal. Ensure your toolkit is complete with this essential adaptation for versatile flux delivery.
