QT-180-7 - Bernard QT-180-7 Q-Tube MIG Gun Neck, 180 Degree, 7-Inch

Bernard QT-180-7 Gooseneck (180°, 7")

Optimize your welding setup with the Bernard QT-180-7, a specialized gooseneck body tube for Bernard MIG guns. This component is defined by its 180-degree straight angle and 7-inch length, making it a critical accessory for fabrication tasks that require a direct, linear approach to the weld joint. Standard curved necks (45° or 60°) are versatile, but they can limit visibility or access in tight, deep, or obstructed spaces. The QT-180-7 solves this problem by providing a straight path for the wire, ideal for automated setups or manual welding in constrained positions.

This neck is fully compatible with the Bernard Q-Tube system, widely used in Q-Gun and BTB semi-automatic air-cooled MIG guns. The installation process is straightforward, allowing welders to change neck configurations rapidly without specialized tools. The robust construction of the tube ensures it maintains its structural integrity and electrical conductivity, even when subjected to the high heat and spatter typical of MIG/MAG welding. By using the correct neck geometry, operators can maintain better posture and gun positioning, leading to reduced fatigue and higher quality welds.

The 7-inch length provides adequate standoff distance, keeping the welder's hand away from the intense heat of the arc while still allowing for precise manipulation of the puddle. As a genuine Bernard replacement part, the QT-180-7 ensures that gas flow remains laminar and turbulence-free, protecting the weld pool from atmospheric contamination. Upgrade your toolkit with this straight neck to handle a broader range of welding challenges with confidence and precision.
