899F135 - ESAB 23-Inch Marathon Pac Dome Payoff Kit

Maximize Your Welding Uptime with the ESAB 23-Inch Dome Lid

If you are running a high-production shop, you know that every minute spent changing a wire spool is a minute you aren't welding. That is why you switched to bulk drums like the ESAB Marathon Pac. But simply opening a drum and feeding wire isn't enough—you need the ESAB 899F135 Dome Lid Payoff Kit to ensure that your bulk wire runs as smoothly as a small spool. Designed specifically for 23-inch OMP (Octagonal Marathon Pac) drums, this payoff kit is the unsung hero of the welding floor, ensuring that your wire feeds consistently, hour after hour, shift after shift.

The "Dome" design is the secret to its performance. When wire is pulled from a large drum, it comes off in loops. Without a proper lid, these loops can catch on the cardboard edges of the box or tangle with each other, leading to the dreaded "bird's nest" that stops production cold. The ESAB Dome Lid creates a smooth, snag-free ceiling that guides the wire gently into the center conduit. It acts like a funnel, taming the wire's natural cast and helix so it enters your feeder straight and true. This reduces strain on your drive rolls and liner, meaning less maintenance and fewer feedability issues for your welders.

Beyond just feeding wire, this kit protects your investment. A 500lb or 1000lb drum of wire might sit on the floor for days or weeks. In that time, shop dust, grinding grit, and oil mist can settle on the exposed wire. When that dirty wire hits your contact tip, it causes burn-backs and erratic arcs. The ESAB 899F135 seals off the top of the drum, keeping your wire factory-clean until the moment it is consumed. It is an essential accessory for anyone serious about quality and efficiency. Whether you are running a robotic cell or a manual station, this payoff kit ensures that your bulk wire system delivers the performance you paid for.
