OVERVIEW

Keep Your Water-Cooled Torch in Top Shape

If you are running a heavy-duty water-cooled MIG gun like the MB401 or MB501, you know that the front-end parts take a beating. The shock washer might seem like a small piece of plastic or composite, but it does a huge job. It sits behind your diffuser and nozzle, taking the brunt of the heat and vibration. When it cracks or wears out, your nozzle gets loose, your gas flow gets erratic, and your welds suffer. The Parker P402-5 Shock Washer pack is the quick fix you need to keep your torch tight and your arc smooth.

Why Choose Parker Spares?
Parker parts are built for the real world. They don't just copy the shape; they use materials that can handle the heat of 400+ amp welding without melting or deforming. This means you change parts less often and spend more time welding. This 5-pack is perfect for the toolbox—because these little washers have a habit of disappearing or breaking right when you are in the middle of a rush job. Having a spare ready means you are back under the hood in minutes, not waiting days for a delivery.

Installation is Easy:
Simply remove your nozzle and gas diffuser, slide off the old, worn-out washer, and pop a new P402 in its place. It fits perfectly on the neck of standard Binzel-style water-cooled guns. Once installed, it provides a solid backstop for your consumables, ensuring everything lines up straight. Don't let a ten-cent problem cause a hundred-dollar mistake—keep your torch maintenance up to date with high-quality Parker replacement parts.

Ideal For:

  • High-amperage fabrication
  • Shipyards and heavy manufacturing
  • Automotive production lines
  • Any welder using MB401/501 style guns
