Bernard QT-180-3 Mig Welder Gun Straight Body Tube

Product Description

The BERNARD QT-180-3 is a Q Gun straight body tube designed for use with Bernard MIG welding guns. This consumable neck component channels the wire feed and shielding gas from the gun body to the contact tip, maintaining proper alignment during the weld. At 3 inches in length, it suits applications where a straight geometry is required for access and torch positioning. Welding technicians and fabricators install this tube as a replacement part when the existing neck shows wear, heat damage, or misalignment that affects wire feed consistency or arc stability.

This straight body tube is intended for use with Bernard Q Gun series MIG welding equipment in industrial and fabrication environments. It is a direct-replacement consumable, typically swapped out during routine gun maintenance or after a contact tip burnback event damages the neck. The 3-inch straight profile works well in open-joint and flat-position welding where torch clearance is not restricted.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified welding technicians or maintenance personnel. Power down and disconnect the welding power source before removing or installing any gun consumables. Use the appropriate spanner wrench or neck tool to avoid damaging the gun body threads during removal and installation. Inspect the liner, contact tip, and nozzle for wear whenever the body tube is replaced.
