OVERVIEW

Restore Your Wire Feeder's Functionality

Keep your welding operations running smoothly with the ESAB 0458682880 Gas Spring Complete. If you have noticed that the lid on your ESAB wire feeder is sagging, slamming shut, or refusing to stay open, it is likely time to replace the gas strut. This small but essential component is responsible for lifting and holding the protective cover, allowing you to change wire spools and adjust drive rolls with both hands free.

Designed as a direct replacement for the original part found in ESAB DD4 and compatible wire feeders, this gas spring offers the durability and reliability you expect from ESAB. A functioning lid support is more than just a convenience; it is a safety feature that prevents the heavy cover from falling on fingers or interfering with the wire path. By replacing a worn-out strut immediately, you protect both your personnel and your equipment from accidental damage.

This unit comes as a complete assembly, ready for installation. It is built to withstand the harsh conditions of a welding shop, resisting dust and grime that often compromise inferior parts. Don't struggle with a broken lid or use makeshift props that can slip. Invest in the correct OEM part to ensure your equipment remains professional, safe, and fully operational for years to come.

Key Benefits
