12621049 - Tweco 62-49 Spatter Shield for Spray Master & Classic MIG Guns

Keep Your Tweco Gun Running Smoothly

You know the drill: you're in the middle of a long bead, and suddenly your gas coverage gets choppy, or your nozzle starts arcing out against the fixture. Often, the culprit is a beat-up spatter shield. The Tweco 62-49 Spatter Shield is that little white or tan tube that sits over your gas diffuser, and it does a lot more work than it gets credit for. It’s the bodyguard for your gas flow, stopping hot BBs and spatter from clogging up the little holes in your diffuser that give you that smooth, laminar gas coverage.

If you are running a Tweco Spray Master or the old reliable Classic No. 2, 3, or 4, this is the part you need. Over time, these shields get cooked by the heat or caked in spatter that you can't scrape off. When that happens, your nozzle might not fit tight anymore, or worse, you lose electrical insulation. That means if you accidentally touch the nozzle to the work, you get a flash, a burn mark, and a ruined tip. Swapping out the 62-49 is cheap insurance against bad welds and frustrated operators.

This is the genuine Tweco part, so it fits right every time. It holds your slip-on nozzle snug so it doesn't fall off into the weld puddle, and it stands up to the heat better than the cheap knock-offs. Keep a few of these in your toolbox or locker. When you change your tip and diffuser, take a second to check the shield. If it looks charred or cracked, toss it and pop in a fresh 1262-1049. It takes five seconds and saves you a world of headache later in the shift.
