OVERVIEW

Restore Your Arc with the Tweco 61-60 Gooseneck

Is your Tweco No. 1 MIG gun sputtering, feeding wire poorly, or getting dangerously hot at the neck? It might be time to replace the conductor tube. The Tweco 61-60 (1610-1102) is the genuine replacement gooseneck for the classic Tweco No. 1 series MIG guns. Over time, conductor tubes can become clogged with spatter, bent from drops, or the internal surface can wear down, creating friction that ruins your wire feed. Swapping in a fresh 61-60 tube is one of the fastest ways to make an old gun feel brand new again.

This tube features a standard 60-degree bend, which is the industry standard for general fabrication. It places your hand in a natural position while keeping the nozzle at the correct angle for the weld puddle. Whether you are welding in a flat position or maneuvering around a bracket, this angle gives you the versatility you need without straining your wrist. The heavy-duty copper construction ensures that the welding current gets to the tip efficiently, giving you a crisp, hot start every time you pull the trigger.

Installation is straightforward. Simply loosen the set screw or retention nut on your handle, remove the old tube (and liner if necessary), and slide this new one in. It is built to Tweco's exact factory specifications, so you don't have to worry about gas leaks or loose connections. Don't fight with a damaged torch—upgrade your front-end consumables and get back to laying smooth beads.

Why Choose Genuine Tweco Parts?

Using genuine Tweco components like the 61-60 ensures that your equipment operates at its rated capacity. Cheap knock-offs often use inferior metals that heat up faster and wear out quicker. This tube is built to handle the heat of day-to-day welding, ensuring your No. 1 gun remains a reliable tool in your arsenal.
