Tweco 1026-1117 Fume Extraction Mig Gun 10 Ft

Product Description

The TWECO 1026-1117 is an air-cooled fume extraction MIG gun built around the Centrovac 415C platform. It is designed to capture welding fumes directly at the weld source, removing the smoke cloud before it reaches the welder's breathing zone. The gun accepts wire diameters from 0.035 inches to 1/16 inches and comes with a 10-foot cable assembly. It suits light-, medium-, and heavy-duty MIG welding applications and is installed by certified welders and fabricators in production environments where fume control is a compliance or safety priority.

This gun is well suited for high-volume fabrication environments where weld fume exposure must be controlled at the source rather than relying on ambient ventilation alone. Typical deployment scenarios include shipyards, offshore fabrication yards, tank and vessel shops, aerospace assembly lines, transportation manufacturing, and general metal fabrication facilities. A vacuum vent at the front of the handle allows the operator to fine-tune extraction rates on the fly, which is especially useful in confined or tight weld areas where over-extraction of shielding gas is a concern.

Key Features

• Extracts over 95% of weld fumes when paired with a correctly matched extraction system
• Vacuum vent at the front of the handle allows real-time adjustment of extraction rates to prevent shielding gas loss in tight spaces
• Back-end design adapts to most competitive wire feeders and blocks fumes from reaching the power connection, reducing maintenance frequency
• Knuckle joint configuration provides exceptional articulation and range of motion during welding
• Light, ergonomic handle with well-balanced weight distribution for extended use comfort
• Compatible with optional fume shrouds for optimized extraction performance in specific applications

Compatibility

Designed as a fume extraction MIG gun replacement for use with most competitive wire feeder connections in light-, medium-, and heavy-duty MIG welding setups.

Installation Notes

Installation and connection should be performed by a qualified welder or welding equipment technician. Always de-energize the wire feeder and welding power source before connecting or disconnecting the gun. Verify that the extraction system flow rate is appropriate for the application before operating to avoid over-extraction of shielding gas. Follow applicable OSHA and AWS safety guidelines for weld fume control and equipment setup.
