QT2-45-12 - Bernard QT2 Series 45-Degree Extended Reach MIG Gun Neck

High-Performance Reach and Ergonomics

The Bernard QT2-45-12 Neck is an essential upgrade for welders facing access challenges in heavy industrial environments. Standard MIG gun necks often limit the operator's ability to reach joints located in tight corners or deep within a weldment. This QT2 series neck solves that problem with its 12-inch length, significantly extending the torch's reach beyond standard configurations. The 45-degree bend angle is optimized for operator comfort, reducing wrist strain during long welding shifts by allowing a more natural hand position while maintaining the proper gun angle relative to the puddle.

Robust Construction for Industrial Duty
Built to withstand the rigors of heavy manufacturing, the QT2-45-12 features a durable outer armor that resists impact, spatter adhesion, and radiant heat. Inside, the copper conductor tube provides excellent electrical conductivity, ensuring stable arc transfer even at high amperages. The 2.2-inch bend radius is critical for maintaining the integrity of the wire liner; a too-tight radius can cause liner kinking and wire drag, while this medium radius ensures smooth, consistent wire delivery for both solid and flux-cored wires. This attention to internal geometry directly translates to better weld quality and less troubleshooting of feed issues.

Versatile Compatibility
This neck is part of the modular Bernard system, making it compatible with a wide range of handles including the popular Q-Gun, S-Gun, and T-Gun series. The rotatable nature of the connection (depending on the specific gun body configuration) often allows the welder to orient the neck 360 degrees, further enhancing accessibility without twisting the cable assembly. Whether you are working in shipbuilding, heavy equipment manufacturing, or structural steel erection, the Bernard QT2-45-12 gives you the reach and reliability needed to execute high-quality welds in difficult positions.
