The Tweco Classic No. 1 (Part No. 1010-1113) is a premium air-cooled MIG gun rated for 180 Amps at 60% duty cycle (using CO2 gas). Engineered for performance and longevity, this gun is an ideal choice for automotive, farm, and light industrial fabrication applications. The 15-foot cable assembly offers excellent flexibility and reach, featuring a durable outer jacket that resists cuts, abrasion, and heat.
At the core of the Classic No. 1 is its heavy-duty design. The gun features a metal-jacketed conductor tube (gooseneck) that can be rotated 360 degrees, allowing access to difficult-to-reach weld joints. The connection to the wire feeder is a solid Tweco-style backend, ensuring a high-conductivity electrical connection and secure gas seal. The gun comes factory-installed with a liner and contact tip setup typically optimized for .030" to .035" (0.8mm - 0.9mm) welding wire, though it can accommodate wire sizes ranging from .023" up to .045" with the appropriate liner and tip changes.
Technicians appreciate the serviceability of the Tweco Classic series. The entire gun is constructed with modular components. The trigger switch is rated for a long life cycle and is easily replaceable. The nozzle uses a slip-on design with a built-in insulator, simplifying cleaning and replacement. By utilizing the 11-Series contact tips, 51-Series gas diffusers, and 21-Series nozzles, users benefit from low operational costs and high part availability.
