OVERVIEW

Lincoln Electric K3345-1: Standard #4 Adapter for Flex & Power Feed

Maximize the utility of your Lincoln Electric wire feeders with the K3345-1 Gun Adapter Kit. Designed to bridge the gap between different equipment standards, this kit enables the use of MIG welding guns featuring a Standard #4 connector with Lincoln's advanced Flex Feed™ and Power Feed® series wire feeders. This is a critical component for shops that standardize on specific gun models (such as those with Tweco® style #4 connections) but rely on the superior feeding technology of Lincoln Electric power sources.

The K3345-1 is more than just a physical connector; it is precision-engineered to ensure that the performance of your welding system remains uncompromised. The adapter facilitates a low-resistance electrical path, ensuring that the welding current is delivered efficiently to the contact tip. This results in a stable, consistent arc that professional welders demand. Furthermore, the gas porting within the adapter is designed to align perfectly with the feeder and gun, ensuring smooth shielding gas coverage and preventing atmospheric contamination of the weld pool.

For industrial MRO and fabrication environments, equipment flexibility is key. The ability to adapt a Power Feed unit to accept a Standard #4 gun means you can utilize specialty guns or standard shop guns without purchasing new feeders. The kit is robustly built to resist heat and mechanical stress, ensuring a long service life even in harsh welding conditions. It installs directly onto the front of the wire feeder, replacing or supplementing the existing gun receiver block.

Features at a Glance:

  • Direct Fit: Seamlessly integrates with Flex Feed and Power Feed models.
  • Standardization: Allows fleet standardization of MIG guns across different feeder brands.
  • Reliability: Lincoln Electric quality ensures secure mechanical and electrical connections.

Invest in the K3345-1 to unlock the full potential of your welding operations, ensuring that your equipment works together seamlessly for the best possible results.
