PRODUCT UPDATE –
Neck Insulator Selection for BTB MIG Guns

Image of neck insulator part number 10012 next to neck insulator part number 402-11 that shows the differences between the two.

Although no new neck insulators are being introduced due to implementation of the BTB semi-automatic air-cooled MIG gun platform on June 2, 2014, users should be aware that neck insulator replacement for these guns will be based on several variables including:

  • Your gun’s amperage;
  • Your gun’s neck / handle combination;
  • The consumables series that you are using.  

Please use the following chart when selecting the appropriate replacement neck insulator:
