Bernard QT-180-7 Mig Welder Gun Straight Body Tube 7 in

Product Description

The BERNARD QT-180-7 is a Q Gun straight body tube designed for use with Bernard MIG welding guns. This consumable contact tube component channels the welding wire from the gun body to the contact tip, maintaining proper wire alignment and electrical conductivity throughout the weld. At 7 inches in length, it fits the Q Gun platform and is a direct replacement part for field service or shop maintenance. Welders and fabricators replace this tube as part of routine gun maintenance to preserve weld quality and minimize downtime.

This straight body tube is suited for MIG welding applications in fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and field welding environments. It is installed by welders, welding technicians, and maintenance professionals performing gun rebuilds or consumable replacements on Bernard Q Gun setups. The straight body profile is appropriate for standard flat and horizontal weld positions where a direct wire path is preferred over a curved or gooseneck configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified welder or welding equipment technician. Disconnect the welding machine from its power source and allow all components to cool completely before removing or installing gun body tubes. Inspect the contact tip, liner, and nozzle for wear when replacing the body tube, as these consumables typically require coordinated replacement. Follow the gun manufacturer's assembly sequence to ensure proper seating and electrical continuity.
