OVERVIEW

Reach Further with the Miller 255717 Water-Cooled Head Tube

Maximize the versatility of your Miller XR-Aluma-Pro or XR-Pistol-Pro welding gun with the Miller 255717 Head Tube Assembly. In the demanding world of industrial aluminum fabrication, having the right tool geometry can make the difference between a struggle and a perfect weld. This 180-degree straight head tube transforms your push-pull gun, giving you a "straight-shooter" configuration that is perfect for reaching into tight corners, welding inside pipes or channels, and handling unique joint designs where a curved neck just gets in the way.

Stay Cool Under Pressure
Aluminum welding often requires high amperage, which generates significant heat. This head tube is fully water-cooled, circulating coolant all the way to the nozzle to keep your consumables and the front end of the gun cool. This not only protects your hands from radiant heat but also significantly extends the life of your contact tips and nozzles. By maintaining lower operating temperatures, you reduce the risk of wire burn-back and micro-arcing, ensuring that your production lines keep moving without frequent stops for consumable changes.

Genuine Miller Quality
When you choose the Miller 255717, you are investing in genuine OEM quality. Miller's engineering ensures that the coolant passages are robust and leak-free, protecting your weld puddle from moisture contamination. The heavy-duty construction is built to survive the rough-and-tumble environment of shipyards, trailer manufacturing plants, and heavy fabrication shops. The 4-inch length strikes a perfect balance, offering enough reach to get the job done while keeping the gun balanced and easy to maneuver.

Easy Installation and Versatility
Swapping out your head tube is a breeze with the Miller XR design. This assembly is designed for quick changeovers, allowing you to switch between different angles and lengths depending on the job at hand. Don't let a restricted angle limit your welding capabilities. Add the Miller 255717 180-degree head tube to your toolkit and ensure you are ready for any challenge that rolls onto the shop floor. Trust Welders Supply for all your genuine Miller replacement parts and accessories.
