A spool gun having a quick connector connectable to an electrical power
source and a gas source is disclosed. A connection line extends from the
spool gun and is attached to a connector. The connector both fluidly
connects the spool gun to a shielding gas source and electrically
connects the spool gun to a power source constructed to generate a
welding-type power. Such a spool gun is quickly and efficiently
connectable to the gas and power systems required for performing welding
processes.
