OVERVIEW

High-Performance Replacement Cable for Tweco MIG Guns

Maximize the lifespan and efficiency of your welding equipment with the Tweco 1740-2117 15' 400A Cablehoz Assembly. This premium replacement part is engineered to meet the rigorous standards of professional welders who rely on Tweco MIG guns for their daily fabrication tasks. Rated for 400 amps, this cable assembly is capable of handling high-current welding applications, making it suitable for structural steel, heavy equipment repair, and general manufacturing. The 15-foot length offers an optimal balance between reach and wire feedability, allowing you to access joints on large assemblies without compromising wire stability.

Advanced Coaxial Design

The "Cablehoz" terminology refers to Tweco's specialized coaxial design where the copper power conductor is wrapped around the inner gas tube (or the gas flows through the interstices of the wire, depending on the specific generation), all encased in a durable outer sheath. This configuration protects the gas line from kinking and crushing while utilizing the gas flow to help dissipate heat generated by the electrical current. The result is a cooler-running gun and a longer-lasting cable assembly. The high-grade copper used in the conductor ensures excellent electrical conductivity, delivering the full power of your machine to the contact tip.

Installation and Specification

Installing the 1740-2117 is straightforward, designed to interface seamlessly with standard Tweco back-end connections and gun handles. It serves as the backbone of your MIG setup, carrying the current, gas, and often the liner (inserted separately). When your existing cable shows signs of wear—such as cracked insulation, hot spots, or internal breaks—swapping it out for this genuine Tweco assembly restores your gun to factory-like performance. Trust in Tweco's legacy of quality to keep your arc smooth and your welds sound.

FAQ

A Cablehoz assembly is a Tweco-specific term for a MIG gun lead that combines the electrical power cable and the shielding gas hose into a single, coaxial unit for improved flexibility and cooling.

This specific Cablehoz assembly (1740-2117) is rated for 400 Amps, making it suitable for heavy-duty welding applications.

The cable assembly is 15 feet (approximately 4.6 meters) long, providing a good range of motion for the welder.

Typically, the Cablehoz assembly refers to the power cable and outer jacket conduit. The wire liner is usually a separate replaceable component that slides inside the cable.

It is designed for specific Tweco MIG gun series that utilize the 400A Cablehoz connection. Please check your gun's parts manual or the connector style to ensure compatibility.

You should replace the cable if you notice deep cuts in the jacket, exposed copper, hot spots along the cable during welding, or if you experience gas leaks or erratic wire feeding that a new liner doesn't fix.

Yes, this power cable assembly can be used for both gas-shielded MIG welding and self-shielded flux-cored welding, provided the gun is set up correctly.

The conductor inside the Cablehoz is made of high-quality stranded copper to ensure maximum electrical conductivity and flexibility.
