246205 - Miller 246205 Water-Cooled Head Tube, 45 Degree, 6-Inch, Centerfire Series

Genuine Miller 246205 Replacement Head Tube

Upgrade or repair your Miller push-pull welding gun with the Miller 246205 Head Tube Assembly. This water-cooled gooseneck is an essential component for professional welders tackling demanding aluminum fabrication projects. Featuring a 45-degree bend and a 6-inch length, it provides the ideal geometry for accessing complex weldments while maintaining a comfortable hand position. This assembly is specifically designed for use with Miller's water-cooled XR-Aluma-Pro and XR-Pistol-Pro guns, ensuring a perfect fit and leak-free performance.

Superior Ergonomics and Access

Welding fatigue can significantly impact weld quality and productivity. The 45-degree angle of the Miller 246205 head tube helps minimize wrist strain by allowing the welder to maintain a natural torch angle. The rotatable design of the head tube on compatible gun bodies further enhances versatility, enabling the operator to position the nozzle exactly where it is needed without contorting their body. This makes it an excellent choice for shipbuilding, trailer manufacturing, and other heavy fabrication tasks where joint accessibility can be a challenge.

Centerfire System Ready

This head tube comes ready to accept Centerfire™ front-end consumables. The Centerfire system is a favorite among professional welders for its ease of use and performance. The drop-in contact tips require no tools to change, and the gas diffuser design ensures smooth, laminar gas flow. This results in better weld pool protection and fewer porosity defects, which is particularly critical when welding aluminum alloys. The 246205 ensures your gun is optimized for these high-performance consumables.

Reliable Water Cooling

Heat buildup is the enemy of welding equipment longevity. The water-cooled design of the 246205 head tube efficiently extracts heat from the front end of the gun. This capability allows for continuous welding at high currents without the risk of melting insulators or overheating the contact tip. For shops running high-volume production lines, this thermal efficiency translates to fewer interruptions and longer consumable life. Trust genuine Miller parts to keep your operations running smoothly.
