OVERVIEW

Keep Your Water-Cooled Gun Running Cool with Bernard THW-1

If you are running a water-cooled MIG setup, you know that heat management is everything. The Bernard THW-1 Centerfire Tip Holder is designed to keep your operation running smoothly by combining the legendary ease-of-use of the Centerfire system with the thermal performance required for heavy-duty welding. This tip holder is the heart of your gun's front end, securely holding the contact tip in place while ensuring maximum transfer of welding current and efficient cooling.

One of the biggest frustrations on the welding floor is struggling with seized contact tips or stripping threads when you're in a hurry. The THW-1 solves this with Bernard's Centerfire technology. You simply drop the contact tip into the holder and lock it in place by tightening the nozzle. No pliers, no wrenches, and no stripped threads. This tool-less design means you can change tips in seconds and get back to laying beads, keeping your arc-on time high and your frustration low. The 10-pack quantity ensures you have plenty of spares on hand for your team.

Beyond convenience, the THW-1 is built for performance. The high-quality brass construction provides a superior electrical path, which translates to a smoother, more consistent arc. In water-cooled applications, this holder plays a vital role in pulling heat away from the contact tip, preventing premature burn-back and extending the life of your consumables. Whether you are welding thick structural steel or precision aluminum, relying on genuine Bernard parts like the THW-1 ensures your equipment performs exactly as it was designed to.

Why Welders Choose the THW-1:

  • Tool-Less Changes: Swap tips by hand without needing extra tools.
  • Better Arc Starts: Superior conductivity for reliable ignition.
  • Cooler Operation: Designed to maximize the efficiency of your water-cooling system.
  • Durable: Resists spatter adhesion and thermal wear.

FAQ

The THW-1 is designed specifically for Bernard Centerfire water-cooled MIG guns. It is not compatible with standard air-cooled Q-Gun or S-Gun series unless they are specifically converted for water-cooled front-end parts.

Yes, the THW-1 is designed to accept Bernard Centerfire (T-Series) contact tips. It utilizes the drop-in, threadless design characteristic of the Centerfire system.

This product is sold as a package of 10 tip holders.

No, the Centerfire system allows for tool-less contact tip changes. The tip drops into the holder and is secured by the nozzle, making changes fast and easy.

No, the THW-1 is specifically engineered for water-cooled guns. Air-cooled guns typically use different diffusers (like the DS-1) that are designed for air flow rather than water cooling interfaces.

It is manufactured from high-quality brass to ensure excellent electrical conductivity and durability under high heat.

Yes, by ensuring a secure electrical connection and facilitating proper heat transfer in water-cooled systems, it helps maintain lower tip temperatures, reducing the risk of burn-back.
