QT3-60 - Bernard QT3 Series 60-Degree MIG Gun Neck

Reach More Joints with the Bernard QT3-60

Every welder knows the frustration of trying to lay a bead in a tight corner where the gun just won't fit. The Bernard QT3-60 Neck is your solution for those hard-to-reach spots. With a steep 60-degree bend, this replacement gooseneck allows you to get your contact tip right into the root of the joint without contorting your hand or compromising your travel angle. It is designed specifically for Bernard Q-Guns, making it a seamless upgrade or replacement for your existing setup.

One of the best things about the Bernard Q-Gun system is the rotatable neck feature, and the QT3-60 takes full advantage of this. You can loosen the collar and twist the neck to whatever angle is most comfortable for the weld you are making—no wrenches required. This saves your wrist from strain during long shifts and helps you maintain a steady hand in out-of-position welding. Whether you are welding overhead, vertical-up, or just dealing with a mess of fixtures, being able to rotate a 60-degree neck gives you a massive advantage in comfort and weld quality.

Durability is standard with Bernard. This neck is built tough to withstand the heat and abuse of the shop floor. The armored jacket protects the insides from falling heavy sparks and banging against workpieces. It fits the standard QT3 body size (usually found on 300A and 400A guns), so if you are running a medium-duty Q-Gun, this is likely the part you need. Swap out your old, battered neck or keep this 60-degree version in your toolbox for when you encounter those tricky angles that a standard neck just can't handle.

Why Choose the 60-Degree Bend?

Standard 45-degree necks are great for general purpose work, but they aren't universal. The 60-degree bend of the QT3-60 acts like a hook, letting you weld around obstacles or pipe structures more effectively. It allows you to keep the gun handle further away from the heat zone while still maintaining the proper stick-out and work angle. If you find yourself struggling to see the puddle because the nozzle is blocked by a flange or bracket, switching to this steeper angle can open up your line of sight and improve your bead consistency immediately.
