Tweco 1028-1170 Mig Gun 250A 25 Ft Miller Connection

Product Description

The TWECO 1028-1170 is an air-cooled MIG welding gun from the Eliminator series, built for professional welding applications across a wide range of industries. It handles wire sizes from 0.040 to 0.045 inches and delivers up to 250 amps at 60 percent duty cycle using CO2 gas. The 25 ft cable length gives welders room to maneuver in shop and production environments. A Miller style rear connection makes this gun a direct fit on compatible Miller wire feeders and power sources. Ergonomic handle design and an extended trigger reduce operator fatigue during long runs. The split-half handle case supports fast field repairs without removing the gun from service.

This gun is suited for spray transfer and pulse welding modes using straight CO2 or mixed shielding gases. It fits farm, garage, shop, production, and maintenance and repair settings. The 25 ft cable length is a common choice for fixed welding stations and semi-automated production lines where the welder needs to reach around fixtures. Field technicians and production welders working with Miller-compatible equipment will find this gun a straightforward drop-in replacement for worn or damaged guns.

Installation Notes

Installation and service of MIG guns should be performed by qualified welding equipment technicians. Disconnect and de-energize the welder and wire feeder before connecting or disconnecting the gun. Verify that the liner size matches the selected wire diameter before threading wire through the gun. Inspect the conductor tube, contact tip, and gas diffuser after installation and before initiating a weld.
