OVERVIEW

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.

FAQ

The outlet guide directs the welding wire from the drive rolls into the MIG gun liner, ensuring smooth feeding and preventing the wire from buckling or tangling (birdnesting) at the feeder.

This brass outlet guide set is designed specifically for the ESAB Rebel EMP 235ic and potentially other models in the Rebel series that utilize the same wire drive mechanism.

Brass is used because it provides a durable yet low-friction surface for steel and stainless steel wires, reducing wear on the guide and preventing damage to the wire coating.

The outlet guide should be replaced when you notice signs of wear, such as 'keyholing' (the hole becoming oval-shaped), grooves, or if you are experiencing consistent wire feeding issues.

While brass guides can sometimes be used, it is generally recommended to use a Teflon or polymer inlet and outlet guide for aluminum wire to minimize friction and prevent shaving of the soft aluminum wire.

Most ESAB replacement parts are designed for straightforward installation. Refer to your Rebel EMP 235ic user manual for the specific diagram and procedure for changing wire drive components.

Yes, the ESAB 0558102515 is a genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, ensuring perfect fit and performance with your ESAB equipment.

A worn outlet guide can cause erratic wire feeding, arc instability, and increased friction that may lead to burn-back or wire jamming inside the feeder.
