10481261 - Tweco Eliminator 450A MIG Gun, 15ft, Miller Style, 1/16 Wire

Technical Specifications: Tweco Eliminator ELC415M116

The Tweco 1048-1261 (ELC415M116) is a high-performance, air-cooled MIG gun designed for industrial applications requiring robust power handling and reliability. Rated at 450 Amps at 60% duty cycle using CO2 gas, this gun is built to withstand the high heat and mechanical stress of heavy fabrication. It features a direct Miller-style termination, ensuring seamless electrical and gas connectivity with compatible Miller power sources and wire feeders. The 15-foot (4.6-meter) cable assembly utilizes high-grade copper stranding to minimize voltage drop and ensure consistent arc performance over the length of the lead.

The ELC415M116 is factory-configured for running 1/16-inch (1.6mm) welding wire, typically used in heavy plate welding and flux-cored applications. The liner, contact tip, and gas diffuser are all part of the Tweco Eliminator consumable series, which are designed for efficient heat dissipation and electrical transfer. The front end features a heavy-duty nozzle and a 60-degree conductor tube. A key technical advantage of the Eliminator series is the rotatable conductor tube; the split-handle case allows the operator to loosen the retention nut and rotate the neck 360 degrees to suit specific joint access requirements without compromising the gas seal or electrical continuity.

Maintenance and serviceability are streamlined in the Eliminator design. The cable connection at the gun handle utilizes a rugged mechanical compression fit that prevents wire feed issues caused by cable stretching or liner kinking. The trigger switch is a long-life component designed for millions of cycles and is easily accessible for replacement if necessary. The outer cable jacket is constructed from abrasion-resistant rubber, protecting the internal power cable and gas hose from sparks, hot metal, and rough shop floor conditions. For welders seeking a 450A gun that balances heavy-duty performance with advanced ergonomic engineering, the ELC415M116 is the industry standard.
