OVERVIEW

Restore Your MIG Gun's Performance

Is your Tweco MIG gun acting up? There is nothing more frustrating for a welder than a trigger that doesn't work every time you pull it. If you are experiencing intermittent starts, having to wiggle the trigger to get an arc, or if the trigger feels "mushy" and unresponsive, it is likely time to replace the switch assembly. The Tweco 36470 Switch Kit is the exact solution you need to get your Spray Master MIG gun back to factory-fresh performance.

Designed specifically for the popular Spray Master series (including the MS250, MS350, and MS450), this kit replaces the internal mechanism that wears out over thousands of welding cycles. Over time, shop dust, metal filings, and general wear can cause the original switch to fail. Instead of buying an expensive new gun or struggling with unreliable equipment, a simple repair with this kit can save you time and money. The switch provides that crisp, tactile "click" you expect, giving you confident control over your arc starts and stops.

Why Choose the Genuine Tweco 36470 Kit?

Using genuine parts ensures that the switch fits perfectly inside your gun handle without modification. Cheap generic replacements often don't seat correctly, leading to a trigger that sticks or feels loose. This kit is built to Tweco's rugged standards, meaning it can handle the heat and abuse of a busy shop environment. Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with basic tool maintenance—simply open the handle, disconnect the old switch, and install the new one. It’s a quick fix that makes a massive difference in your daily welding comfort and efficiency.

Don't let a ten-dollar part hold up a thousand-dollar job. Keep a spare Tweco 36470 Switch Kit in your toolbox so you are never down for long. Whether you are a professional fabricator or a serious hobbyist, maintaining your equipment is key to producing quality welds, and a reliable trigger is where it all starts.

FAQ

The 36470 Switch Kit is designed primarily for the Tweco Spray Master series, including models MS250, MS350, and MS450.

Typically, the 36470 kit includes the internal switch mechanism assembly. The external plastic trigger lever is usually a separate component, though some kits may vary. Check the specific contents if the lever itself is broken.

Signs of a bad switch include intermittent arc starting (you have to wiggle the trigger), the wire feeder not engaging when the trigger is pulled, or the trigger physically sticking in the 'on' or 'off' position.

Yes, this is a genuine Tweco / ESAB part, ensuring proper fit and durability for your equipment.

No, installation is generally straightforward. You will need to disassemble the gun handle using a screwdriver, disconnect the control wires from the old switch, and connect them to the new one. Always ensure the machine is unplugged before servicing.

Many Tweco internal components are shared, but the 36470 is specifically listed for the Spray Master. Check your Eliminator parts manual, as it may use a different switch assembly depending on the generation.

This switch is designed for Tweco handle geometries. While the electrical function is standard, the physical shape likely won't fit inside Miller, Lincoln, or Bernard gun handles without modification.

Triggers often fail due to the ingress of metal dust and grinding particles into the handle, which fouls the contacts. Rough handling or dropping the gun can also damage the mechanical components.
