It features a 3\/8 inch bore and is rated for 200 to 350 amps at 60 percent duty cycle. The Velocity design reduces the number of threaded connections to a single set, pairing brass threads on the nozzle with heat-treated stainless steel threads on the gooseneck. This soft-against-hard thread pairing resists seizing and cross-threading. The nozzle is a replaceable component installed by welders and fabricators working with flux cored wire processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis nozzle fits the Tweco Velocity MIG gun system and is optimized for flux cored wire applications running .045 inches (1.2 mm) wire, with compatibility spanning wire sizes from .030 inches (0.8 mm) to 1\/16 inches (1.6 mm). It is suited for production and fabrication environments where cycle times are high and quick nozzle changes without tools reduce downtime. The tool-free design is particularly useful in shop settings where stopping to locate a wrench interrupts workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated 200 to 350 amps at 60 percent duty cycle for heavy-duty flux cored applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch bore diameter optimized for .045 inch (1.2 mm) flux cored wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with wire sizes from .030 inches (0.8 mm) to 1\/16 inches (1.6 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-thread Velocity design eliminates tool requirements for nozzle changes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrass nozzle threads mate with heat-treated stainless steel gooseneck threads to resist seizing and cross-threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with the Tweco Velocity MIG gun consumable system for flux cored wire welding processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation and replacement are performed by the welding operator or maintenance technician. Always power down the welding machine and allow the gun and nozzle to cool completely before handling consumables. The Velocity system is designed for tool-free nozzle replacement — do not use pliers or wrenches on the nozzle threads, as this can damage the brass threading. Inspect gooseneck threads periodically for wear or spatter buildup and clean as needed before installing a replacement nozzle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBore Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAmperage Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 200-350 amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDuty Cycle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 percent\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: .030 inches (0.8 mm) to 1\/16 inches (1.6 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptimized Wire Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: .045 inches (1.2 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.19 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold As\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TWECO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1240-1897\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TWECO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51345868095794,"sku":"1240-1897","price":121.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/310546006.jpg?v=1782065095","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/tweco-1240-1897-flux-cored-welding-nozzle-3-8-inch-bore","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
