OVERVIEW

Tweco 1450-1013: High-Performance Nylon Liner for Aluminum

The Tweco 45N-116-15 (1450-1013) is a premium nylon conduit designed to facilitate the feeding of 1/16-inch (1.6mm) aluminum welding wire through 15-foot MIG guns. In the world of industrial welding, equipment compatibility and performance are paramount. This conduit is manufactured by Tweco, a leader in MIG gun technology, ensuring that it meets the rigorous standards required for professional welding environments. The use of a nylon liner is non-negotiable when welding aluminum; standard steel liners are too abrasive and will cause the soft aluminum wire to gall, shave, and eventually jam the gun.

This specific model, the 45N-116-15, features a robust nylon composition that offers superior wear resistance while maintaining the low coefficient of friction necessary for pushing soft wires over long distances. It is compatible with a wide range of Tweco MIG guns, including the popular Spray Master series. Proper installation of this liner is straightforward, allowing maintenance teams and operators to quickly swap out liners when changing wire types or replacing worn components. The liner supports the wire along the entire length of the cable, preventing buckling and ensuring precise delivery to the contact tip.

For MRO professionals and welding supply managers, stocking the correct consumables is vital for operational efficiency. The Tweco 1450-1013 is the standard replacement part for 15-foot setups running 1/16" aluminum. Its consistent manufacturing quality means you can trust every unit to perform right out of the package. Avoid the frustration of erratic arcs and wire burn-back by ensuring your MIG guns are equipped with the proper nylon conduit for the material being welded.

FAQ

This conduit is specifically designed for 1/16" (1.6mm) aluminum welding wire.

It is not recommended. Nylon liners are designed for soft wires like aluminum. Steel wire is abrasive and can quickly cut through the nylon, ruining the liner.

The conduit is 15 feet (4.5 meters) long, suitable for standard 15ft MIG guns.

Aluminum wire is soft. A steel liner can shave off small pieces of aluminum, which clog the liner and cause feeding issues. Nylon is smooth and prevents this friction.

It fits most standard Tweco MIG guns designed for 15ft cables. Always check your specific gun model's parts list to confirm compatibility.

Remove the old liner, unroll the new nylon conduit, slide it into the gun cable from the back, and trim it to the correct length according to your gun's manual.

Yes, this is a genuine Tweco part, ensuring high quality and proper fitment.

If the liner is not trimmed correctly, it can cause kinking or poor gas coverage. It must be trimmed flush or to the specific stick-out required by your gun model.
