KP2868-180 - Magnum PRO 450 Straight Gooseneck Assembly

Get Better Access with the Magnum PRO 450 Straight Tube

Sometimes a standard curved MIG gun just can't reach where you need to weld. Whether you are welding down into a deep pipe, reaching through a narrow opening in a structural beam, or performing vertical automated welds, the angle of the neck makes all the difference. The Lincoln Electric KP2868-180 Gun Tube converts your Magnum PRO 450 into a straight-shooter. With its 180-degree design, this gooseneck eliminates the bend, giving you a straight line from the handle to the contact tip.

Built for the heavy hitter, this tube is rated for 450 amps, meaning it won't melt down when you are pushing high wire speeds on thick plate. It is designed to take a beating in the shop environment. We know that gun tubes often double as hammers or rests (even though they shouldn't), and Lincoln has built this part to survive the reality of the welding floor. The connection is solid, ensuring you don't lose power at the neck, and the liner path is smooth to prevent those frustrating bird-nests that stop production.

Swapping out your gun tube is a quick way to adapt your machine to the job at hand. If you have a project coming up with tight access points or deep reach requirements, having the KP2868-180 in your toolbox saves you the headache of struggling with a 60-degree neck that just won't fit. It uses the same consumables you already have for your Magnum PRO 450, so you don't need to buy special tips or nozzles. Just swap the neck, check your liner length, and you are ready to burn wire.

Don't let a difficult angle compromise your weld quality. The straight 180-degree neck gives you the visibility and positioning control you need for precision work in awkward spots. Trust genuine Lincoln Electric parts to keep your arc stable and your welds passing inspection.
