36452 - ESAB MIG Gun Barrel Insulator Kit

Restore Your Torch Performance with the ESAB 36452 Insulation Kit

Every welder knows the frustration of a MIG gun that just isn't acting right. Maybe you're experiencing erratic arcs, or worse, your gun is shorting out against the nozzle or the workpiece when it shouldn't. Often, the culprit is a worn-out or damaged barrel insulator. The ESAB 36452 Barrel Insulation Kit is the specific fix you need to get your ESAB MIG gun back in top fighting shape. This isn't just a piece of plastic; it's the shield that keeps the electricity where it belongs—in the wire.

Over time, the intense heat from the weld puddle and the spatter that finds its way inside the nozzle can cook your gun's internal insulation. Once that barrier is compromised, you risk arcing inside the barrel, which can destroy your gooseneck and even damage your machine. This genuine ESAB replacement kit is built tough. It handles the heat of long beads and high amps without melting or becoming brittle, giving you the confidence to weld without worrying about your equipment failing mid-pass.

Installation is straightforward for anyone familiar with torch maintenance. Simply disassemble the front end of your compatible ESAB gun, remove the old, charred insulation, and slide this new kit into place. It fits perfectly because it's made by the same people who built your gun. No trimming, no guessing, and no "making it work." It seals up tight, helping to maintain proper gas coverage while ensuring total electrical isolation.

Don't wait until your gun fails completely to check your insulation. If you see cracks or burn marks during your nozzle changes, swap it out with the ESAB 36452. It’s a small part that plays a huge role in the quality of your welds and the safety of your setup. Keep a kit in your toolbox so you're never stuck waiting on parts when you have deadlines to meet.
