OVERVIEW

Upgrade Your Reach with the Bernard Q2-45-12 MIG Neck

Welders know that comfort and access are key to producing quality welds all day long. The Bernard Q2-45-12 Gooseneck is designed to give you that extra edge in accessibility and ergonomics. Fits perfectly on your 300-amp or 400-amp Bernard Q-Gun, this replacement neck features a 45-degree bend and a 12-inch length. The medium-long reach is perfect for getting the nozzle exactly where it needs to be, especially when working on large structural pieces or navigating around clamps and jigs where a standard short neck just won't cut it.

The Q2-45-12 isn't just about reach; it's about keeping you welding. The neck is built to dissipate heat effectively, keeping the front-end consumables and the handle cooler. This means you can weld longer without the gun becoming uncomfortably hot. The rotatable design is another huge plus for operator comfort. You can adjust the orientation of the neck without tools, allowing you to find the most ergonomic hand position for overhead or vertical welds, reducing wrist strain and fatigue.

Maintenance is a breeze with the Bernard Q-Gun system. This neck is designed to work with jump liners—short liners that sit inside the neck. Since the neck is where most wire feed friction and clogging occur, being able to swap out just this small section of liner saves you the hassle and expense of replacing the full 15-foot liner. The Q2-45-12 is built tough with aluminum armor, so it can take a beating in the shop and keep performing. Whether you are replacing a damaged neck or customizing your gun for a specific job, this genuine Bernard part ensures your equipment runs like new.

Why Welders Choose This Neck:

  • Better Access: 12-inch length helps reach tight spots without straining.
  • Cooler Operation: Superior heat dissipation keeps the handle comfortable.
  • Easy Adjustment: Rotatable neck allows for custom torch angles.
  • Cost Effective: Jump liner compatibility saves money on consumables.
