KP2455-1 - Lincoln Electric 45-Degree MIG Gun Gooseneck Assembly, 6 Inch

Restore Your Torch's Performance

Is your MIG gun sputtering, feeding poorly, or just looking a bit worse for wear? The Lincoln Electric KP2455-1 Gun Tube Assembly is the fix you need to get back to laying smooth beads. This is the "gooseneck" or neck of your torch—the critical bridge between your handle and the contact tip. With a standard 45-degree bend and a 6-inch length, it provides the familiar feel and reach you are used to, helping you access joints comfortably without straining your wrist.

Why the Gun Tube Matters

We all know that the neck of the gun takes a beating. It gets hot, it gets banged around, and sometimes it gets clogged. A bent or damaged liner inside the tube can cause drag on your wire, leading to erratic feeding and frustrating burn-backs. By swapping out your old neck for this fresh KP2455-1 assembly, you ensure a smooth path for your wire and a clean channel for your shielding gas. It's an easy maintenance step that can make an old gun feel brand new again.

Genuine Lincoln Quality

When you are in the middle of a job, you don't have time to mess around with parts that don't fit quite right. Because this is a genuine Lincoln Electric part, the threads are cut perfectly for your diffusers and the connection to the gun handle is solid. You won't have to worry about gas leaks at the connection point or the neck wobbling while you weld. It is built to handle the heat and keep the current flowing smoothly to your contact tip.

Installation and Use

Installing the KP2455-1 is straightforward. Simply disconnect your old tube, ensure your liner is trimmed correctly (or replace it while you're at it), and secure the new tube in place. The 45-degree angle is perfect for most flat and horizontal fillet welds, giving you good visibility of the puddle while keeping your hand out of the heat zone. Keep a spare in your toolbox so a damaged neck never shuts down your production for the day.
