0558102515 - ESAB Rebel 235ic Brass Wire Outlet Guide Assembly

Genuine ESAB Replacement for Reliable Feeding

Maintain the industrial reliability of your welding equipment with the ESAB 0558102515 Brass Outlet Guide Set. Designed as a direct replacement for the ESAB Rebel EMP 235ic and compatible systems, this outlet guide is the final checkpoint for your welding wire before it enters the torch cable. The wire feed system is the heart of any MIG welder, and the outlet guide is one of its most vital arteries. When this component is in good condition, it supports the wire immediately after it leaves the drive rolls, preventing buckling and ensuring that the push-force is directed entirely into the liner.

Fabricators often experience feeding issues that they mistakenly attribute to the contact tip or the liner, when in fact, the issue originates at the feeder. If the outlet guide is misaligned or worn, the wire may drag or shave, accumulating debris in the liner that eventually causes blockage. The ESAB 0558102515 is precision-machined from brass to minimize friction and wear. Its geometry is strictly controlled to match the drive roll assembly of the Rebel series, ensuring that there is no gap where the wire could escape or kink. This is especially important when using softer wires or pushing wire over longer distances.

This kit includes the necessary components to refresh the outlet side of your wire drive. Regular inspection of your drive roll area is recommended; if you notice keyholing (elongation of the guide hole) or excessive metal dust, it is time to swap out the guide. Using genuine ESAB parts like the 0558102515 ensures that you maintain the warranty and performance standards of your machine. Don't let a small, inexpensive part compromise the quality of your welds or the efficiency of your operations. Keep a spare outlet guide in your maintenance kit to ensure you are always ready to weld.

Compatibility and Usage

While primarily designed for the Rebel EMP 235ic, this guide is part of the broader ESAB wire feed ecosystem. Always verify your machine's parts manual to ensure compatibility. This brass guide is ideal for standard ER70S-6 and stainless steel wires. For aluminum welding, verify if a Teflon or polymer guide is recommended for your specific setup to further reduce friction.
