Can you convert a Tweco no.2 gun to use No.4 h/duty screw on nozzles?

admin

I have a Tweco no.2 gun that has the push on nozzles and 11 series tips.  All the other guns are no.4 with the heavy duty screw on nozzles (24CT-62S) and the screw on insulator, and use the 14H-35 tips.Can you convert the smaller gun over to use the no4 parts?Will a no.4 neck fit inside the handle of a no.2 gun?  if so I should then be able to use the larger parts?
Reply:Old SP85 lincoln has push on stuff. Was able to convert the forward gun/tube, so I could use screw on.Welding shop recommended a new tweco gun, about $120. Depends, new welder, keep old 110 volt SP85.Mainly use SP85 for .020 wire, thin stuff.Big mig uses .030 wire, thick stuff.Charl

Reply:yeah those are the guns except we have the heavy duty nozzles
Reply:By using a 52FN diffuser you can use either 34CT/24CT-?? insulator/nozzle combo or 23series nozzles and 14 series tips.
Reply:Yes that part looks like it might work.  Thank you.
