OVERVIEW

Keep Your MXL 200 Running Smoothly

If you are running an ESAB MXL 200 MIG gun, you know that the front-end consumables take the most heat and abuse. The gas distributor (often called a diffuser or tip holder) is the heart of your torch's front end. The ESAB 0559351046 is the genuine replacement distributor designed to keep your 200-amp torch welding like new. It connects your contact tip to the torch neck and makes sure your shielding gas comes out in a smooth, even stream.

Why does this matter? A bad distributor can cause all sorts of headaches. If the gas holes get clogged with spatter, you lose coverage and get porosity in your welds. If the threads get stripped or worn, your contact tip won't seat right, leading to a wandering arc or an overheating gun. This standard MKD distributor is built tough to handle the heat of day-to-day fabrication work. It screws on easily and holds your tip securely, ensuring the current transfers efficiently to the wire.

Don't let a cheap or worn-out part ruin your welds. Swapping out your gas distributor is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to tune up your MIG gun. Whether you are welding mild steel in the shop or doing repair work, this ESAB part ensures you get the gas coverage you need for a clean, professional bead. Keep a few in your toolbox so you aren't stuck waiting on parts when you should be burning wire.

Benefits for the Welder:

  • Better Gas Coverage: Smooth flow means less porosity and cleaner welds.
  • Reliable Arc: Solid electrical connection to the contact tip prevents stuttering.
  • Perfect Fit: Designed exactly for the MXL 200, so no cross-threading or loose tips.
  • Durable: Handles the heat of 200A welding without warping quickly.
