OVERVIEW

Lincoln Electric Magnum PRO AL G225A Push-Pull Gun (K3356-2)

The Lincoln Electric Magnum PRO AL G225A is a premium air-cooled push-pull gun designed specifically to address the challenges of feeding aluminum welding wire. Identified by the internal SKU K3356-2, this model features a 25-foot cable assembly and a unique rear trigger configuration, catering to welders who prefer a different grip style or require specific ergonomic positioning during fabrication. The gun is engineered to optimize the feeding of soft aluminum wires, such as 4043 and 5356 series, which are prone to bird-nesting and friction issues in standard push-only systems.

Technical Specifications and Performance

Rated at 225 Amps at a 60% duty cycle using 100% Argon gas, the G225A provides sufficient power for a wide range of light to medium-duty aluminum fabrication tasks. The push-pull mechanism utilizes a motor within the gun handle to pull the wire while the wire feeder pushes it, synchronizing the feed speed to ensure smooth, consistent delivery over the extended 25-foot distance. This system drastically reduces friction and wire deformation. The gun connects via a standard 7-pin Amphenol connector, making it compatible with various Lincoln Electric power sources and wire feeders equipped for push-pull operation.

Magnum PRO Consumable System

A key advantage of this gun is its integration with the Magnum PRO consumable platform. It utilizes Copper Plus contact tips, which feature a larger mass and diameter compared to standard tips. This design improves heat dissipation and electrical conductivity, resulting in longer tip life and fewer burn-backs. The consumables also feature Anti-Seize threads to prevent the contact tip and diffuser from fusing to the gun tube, a common issue in high-heat aluminum welding applications. The G225A is designed for easy maintenance, featuring a tool-less Quick-Change liner system that simplifies the replacement of worn liners, minimizing downtime in industrial environments.

Ergonomics and Usability

The "Rear Trigger" design of the K3356-2 places the trigger mechanism at the back of the handle grip area. This configuration can be advantageous for operators who manipulate the torch in ways where a front trigger is awkward or prone to accidental activation. The handle itself is lightweight and balanced to reduce wrist strain during long welding sessions. Additionally, the wire feed speed adjustment dial is recessed into the handle base, allowing for convenient fine-tuning at the arc while preventing accidental adjustments if the gun is bumped against the workpiece.

FAQ

The Magnum PRO AL G225A is rated at 225 Amps at 60% duty cycle with 100% Argon gas.

It is designed to handle aluminum wire diameters from 0.035" (0.9 mm) to 1/16" (1.6 mm).

The difference is purely ergonomic. The K3356-2 has the trigger located at the rear of the grip, which some welders prefer for specific hand positions or to reduce finger fatigue compared to the standard front index-finger trigger.

Yes, it requires a Lincoln Electric wire feeder or power source capable of supporting a 7-pin push-pull gun connection and logic.

Aluminum wire is soft and prone to buckling (bird-nesting) when pushed through long liners. A push-pull gun has a motor in the handle that pulls the wire while the feeder pushes, ensuring smooth feeding over longer distances like 25 feet.

Yes, the G225A uses standard Magnum PRO consumables (contact tips, nozzles, diffusers), which are interchangeable with other Magnum PRO series guns.

The gun features a Quick-Change liner system. You simply remove the set screw at the back end to release the liner, allowing for fast replacement without disassembling the handle.

While technically possible with the correct liner and drive rolls, this gun is specifically optimized and geared for aluminum welding. Using it for steel is generally not recommended due to the potential for contamination and accelerated wear on aluminum-specific components.
