OVERVIEW

Maximize Comfort and Reach with the Bernard QT5-60 Neck

Welding in tight corners or overhead positions can wreak havoc on your wrists and shoulders. The Bernard QT5-60 Neck is designed to solve exactly that problem. With its aggressive 60-degree bend angle, this gooseneck allows you to position your MIG gun comfortably while keeping the nozzle right where it needs to be. The "R5" specification indicates a medium length, giving you the perfect balance between reach and control—long enough to keep your hands away from the heat, but short enough to maintain steady precision on intricate welds.

One of the standout features of the Bernard Q-Tube series is the rotatable neck capability. You can adjust the orientation of the neck without needing any tools, allowing you to adapt instantly to the job at hand. Whether you are welding a pipe root, a structural beam flange, or a chassis frame, being able to rotate the neck means you don't have to contort your body into uncomfortable positions. This leads to less fatigue at the end of the shift and cleaner, more consistent welds because you are comfortable and stable.

Durability is key when you are on the shop floor, and the QT5-60 doesn't disappoint. It features a tough aluminum armored jacket that protects the internal copper conductor and gas liner from falling heavy objects, grinding sparks, and general abuse. It handles high amperage heat without breaking a sweat, ensuring that your gun stays cool even when you are pushing wire all day. If you are running a Bernard Q-Gun or a BTB series gun, this neck is a direct drop-in replacement that will breathe new life into your torch.

Installation is straightforward—simply unscrew the old neck and lock this one in place. It works perfectly with your favorite Bernard consumables, whether you prefer the Centerfire system for its ease of use or the TOUGH LOCK system for its longevity. Don't let a straight or damaged neck slow you down; upgrade to the QT5-60 and experience the difference a proper angle makes in your welding performance.

FAQ

The QT5-60 is compatible with Bernard Q-Gun, S-Gun, and the modular BTB (Best of the Best) MIG gun series.

R5 refers to the length and radius of the neck. In Bernard's sizing, R5 indicates a medium length neck, offering a balance between reach and control.

Yes, when installed on compatible Bernard gun handles, the Q-Tube assembly can be rotated to improve welder comfort and access to joints.

No, the QT5-60 is the neck assembly only. Contact tips, nozzles, and diffusers (Centerfire, Quik Tip, etc.) must be purchased separately.

Ensure the gun is cool and disconnected. Loosen the retaining nut or collar at the handle, remove the old neck, insert the QT5-60, and tighten the retention mechanism securely.

A 60-degree bend provides a steeper angle than standard 45-degree necks, allowing for better access into deep grooves, corners, and overhead positions.

Typically, the neck acts as a conduit. While it may have an internal jump liner depending on the specific configuration, the main gun liner usually runs through the handle up to the diffuser. Check your specific gun manual for liner trimming instructions.

The neck is designed to handle the full amperage range of standard Bernard Q-Guns, typically rated up to 400-600 amps depending on the shielding gas and duty cycle used.
