OVERVIEW

Get Back to Welding with a Fresh Miller Gooseneck

Is your MIG gun sputtering, overheating, or feeding wire inconsistently? The culprit might be a worn-out or bent neck. The Miller 164422 Head Tube is the authentic replacement part you need to get your torch back in fighting shape. As the bridge between your hand and the arc, the head tube takes a beating from reflected heat and spatter. When it gets damaged, your entire welding experience suffers. This genuine Miller gooseneck is built to handle the rigors of the shop, providing the sturdy, conductive path your wire and gas need to produce quality beads.

Don't settle for generic knock-offs that might not fit right or conduct current efficiently. The Miller 164422 is designed specifically for Miller equipment, meaning the bend angle is exactly right for ergonomic comfort and smooth wire delivery. A bent or kinked neck can cause the liner to bind, leading to frustrating friction and burn-back issues. By swapping in a fresh tube, you eliminate these variables, ensuring that the wire glides smoothly to the contact tip. Additionally, the threads on this unit are precision-cut to hold your diffuser and nozzle firmly in place, preventing the wobble and gas leaks that lead to porosity in your welds.

Maintenance is part of the job, and keeping your MIG gun's front end in top condition is the best way to ensure consistent uptime. This head tube comes ready to install, allowing you to perform a quick repair and get back under the hood. It features durable insulation to keep you safe and heavy-duty construction to withstand the thermal cycles of daily welding. Whether you are working on mild steel, stainless, or aluminum, having a straight, clean, and conductive path for your consumables is non-negotiable. Invest in the Miller 164422 Head Tube and keep your arcs smooth and your welds clean.

FAQ

The head tube, or gooseneck, connects the MIG gun handle to the consumables. It conducts welding current, guides the wire liner, and channels shielding gas to the nozzle.

Signs of failure include stripped threads for the diffuser, physical bending or kinking that restricts wire feed, damaged outer insulation, or overheating due to internal resistance.

Yes, the Miller 164422 is a genuine OEM replacement part manufactured by Miller Electric.

No, head tubes are specific to certain gun models and amperages. You should verify compatibility using your welding machine or gun's serial number.

Typically, the head tube is sold as the metal tube assembly itself. Liners are usually separate components that run through the cable and the head tube.

Yes. If the head tube is damaged or loose, it can allow air to be sucked into the gas stream (Venturi effect) or restrict gas flow, leading to weld porosity.

Installation generally involves disconnecting the gun from the feeder, removing the handle case, loosening the retaining nut or set screw, and swapping the tubes. Always refer to your gun's manual.

The bend angle affects both the ergonomics for the welder and the friction on the welding wire. OEM tubes maintain the correct angle for smooth feeding.
