nozzle for all gun brands to minimize inventory

Necks available in fixed, rotatable, flexible
and multiple length options for optimal weld
accessibility and improved operator comfort.
Rotatable necks changeover without tools.

Patented large tapered Stay-Tite™ neck
connection improves conductivity for better

comfort.
Patented Jump Liner allows quick neck change
and replacement of only most commonly worn or
clogged liner area, which reduces the amount of
time a gun is offline and minimizes inventory.
