The Tweco 1027-1397 (SG160REB-12) is a high-performance spool gun engineered for direct integration with ESAB's Rebel and EM series inverter power sources. Rated at 160 Amps at 20% duty cycle, this unit is optimized for light-to-medium duty fabrication involving aluminum (4043/5356) and other soft alloys. The gun utilizes a direct 8-pin Amphenol style connector that interfaces with the welder's control circuitry to trigger the proprietary auto-detect function, instantly configuring the power source for spool gun operation without manual menu navigation.
The SG160REB-12 features a heavy-duty drive motor housed within an impact-resistant pistol-grip handle. The drive system is designed to accommodate standard 4-inch (102mm) wire spools, supporting 1 lb aluminum or 2 lb steel/stainless spools. A critical feature for precision welding is the adjustable drive roll tension lever, located conveniently on the handle, allowing operators to fine-tune feeding pressure to prevent wire deformation. The conductor tube utilizes a three-layer construction—copper tube, silicon resin glass insulator, and metal jacket—ensuring electrical efficiency and thermal durability.
Maintenance and consumable replacement are streamlined thanks to the use of standard Tweco 11 Series contact tips and 21 Series nozzles, which are widely available and cost-effective. The gun comes factory-ready for .030" to .035" (0.8mm - 0.9mm) wire but can handle diameters down to .023" with the appropriate contact tips. The 12-foot (4M) lead assembly is protected by a durable outer sleeve that bundles the power cable, gas hose, and trigger leads, preventing snagging and abrasion damage during shop use. This spool gun is an essential addition for any professional utilizing the Rebel platform for diverse alloy welding.
