255041 - Miller Water-Cooled Gooseneck 60 Degree 6 Inch for XR-Aluma-Pro

Keep Your Cool with the Miller 255041 Gooseneck

When you are deep in a heavy aluminum fabrication job, the last thing you need is your gun overheating or your neck clogging up. The Miller 255041 Head Tube Assembly is the genuine replacement gooseneck for your water-cooled XR-Aluma-Pro or XR-Pistol-Pro push-pull guns. Designed to handle the heat, this 6-inch tube features a standard 60-degree bend that feels natural in your hand and helps you get the perfect torch angle on fillet welds and butt joints alike. If your old neck is bent, leaking, or just seen better days, swapping it out for a fresh OEM part is the quickest way to get your arc back to smooth, consistent performance.

Water cooling is a game-changer for high-amp welding, but it relies on quality components to work right. This head tube is built to circulate coolant efficiently right down to the nozzle, keeping your contact tip cool even when you are pushing high wire feed speeds. A cooler front end means fewer tip changes, less spatter sticking to the nozzle, and less frustration with wire burn-back. The 60-degree angle is versatile enough for most bench work and positional welding, allowing you to maintain a comfortable wrist position while keeping the puddle in clear view. It’s the standard configuration for a reason—it just works.

One of the best features of the XR-Aluma-Pro system is the rotatable head tube. When you install the 255041, you can adjust the rotation to fit the specific joint you are welding, saving your wrist from awkward twisting. This replacement assembly fits perfectly into the gun body, sealing tight against water leaks and ensuring maximum conductivity for the welding current. Don't struggle with aftermarket parts that might not seal correctly or conduct heat as well; stick with Miller to keep your push-pull gun feeding aluminum wire like a dream.

Whether you are welding thin gauge aluminum sheet or heavy plate, the condition of your head tube directly affects your wire feeding. A bent or damaged liner inside the neck can cause bird-nesting and erratic feeding. By replacing the entire head tube assembly, you eliminate potential kinks and restrictions in the wire path. This package includes one 6-inch, 60-degree water-cooled tube, ready to be installed so you can get back under the hood and lay down perfect beads.
