The W7004967 Outlet Guide is a critical component for the wire drive assembly of the Thermal Arc (ESAB) Fabricator 181i multi-process welding system. Located immediately after the drive rolls, this guide tube directs the filler metal into the gun receiver bushing, ensuring a straight and unobstructed path into the liner.
Proper wire alignment is essential for preventing feedability issues. If the wire is not supported correctly as it leaves the drive rolls, it can buckle under the push force, leading to tangles and downtime. This guide is machined to tight tolerances to support wire diameters from 0.023 inches (0.6 mm) to 0.045 inches (1.2 mm), making it a versatile part for shops that frequently switch between light and medium-duty applications.
Constructed from durable materials to resist wear from the constant friction of moving wire, this OEM part restores the original factory performance of your wire feeder. It is recommended to inspect the outlet guide periodically for grooves or burrs and replace it if wear is detected to prevent damage to the welding wire surface.
