10101111 - Tweco Classic 1 MIG Gun 180A 10ft Tweco Connection

Technical Specifications: Tweco Classic No. 1 MIG Gun

The Tweco 1010-1111 is a genuine Classic No. 1 air-cooled MIG gun designed for GMAW (MIG) and FCAW (Flux-Cored) welding processes. This unit is rated for 180 Amps at 60% duty cycle when using CO2 shielding gas, making it a robust choice for general fabrication, maintenance, and repair operations. The gun assembly includes a 10-foot (3-meter) cable assembly featuring a coaxial design for improved conductivity and flexibility.

Connection and Compatibility

This specific model is outfitted with a Tweco-style rear connection (often referred to as a Tweco #4 or standard Tweco adapter plug), ensuring direct compatibility with wire feeders and power sources designed for Tweco guns. The control wire connection typically utilizes the standard trigger leads associated with the Tweco backend configuration.

Consumables and Setup

The gun is factory-configured for 0.035" (0.9mm) welding wire. It utilizes the industry-standard Tweco consumable platform:

• Contact Tips: Uses 11 Series tips (e.g., 11-35).
• Nozzles: Uses 21 Series nozzles (e.g., 21-50 adjustable nozzle).
• Diffusers: Uses 35 Series gas diffusers (e.g., 35-50).
• Liners: Uses 35 Series liners (e.g., 35-40-15).

Construction Features

The handle is constructed from high-impact, heat-resistant composite materials designed to withstand the rigors of an industrial environment. The metal jacketed conductor tube (gooseneck) is rotatable in some configurations or fixed at a standard 60-degree angle for optimal access to weld joints. A heavy-duty steel spring strain relief at both the handle and the wire feeder end prevents cable kinking and ensures smooth wire feeding.
