OVERVIEW

Keep Your Wire Running Smoothly

There is nothing more frustrating than a wire feed issue right in the middle of a long bead. If you are experiencing stuttering wire, erratic arc starts, or the wire just doesn't seem to want to line up with the drive rolls, it might be time to check your guides. The ESAB 950566 Insert Tubing is the replacement part you need to get your machine feeding like new again. This little tube plays a huge role in making sure your wire goes exactly where it's supposed to—straight into the liner and out to the puddle.

Think of this insert tubing as the highway for your welding wire. If the road is full of potholes (or in this case, grooves and wear marks), traffic slows down and accidents happen. A worn guide tube can cause the wire to drag, scrape, or even buckle, leading to bird-nesting at the feeder. By swapping out your old, worn tube for a fresh ESAB 950566, you eliminate that friction. The result? Smoother feeding, a more consistent arc, and less time spent fixing jams.

This is a genuine ESAB part, meaning it fits right the first time. You won't have to file it down or force it in. It's built tough to handle the constant friction of steel, stainless, or aluminum wire sliding through it all day. Whether you are doing production MIG work or just fixing equipment in the shop, keeping your wire path clean and precise is the secret to hassle-free welding. Don't let a cheap worn-out part ruin your day—replace it and get back to burning metal.

Why Replace Your Guide Tubing?

  • Prevent Jams: Stops wire from buckling or tangling at the drive rolls.
  • Better Arc: Smooth feeding means a steady arc and better looking welds.
  • Protect Your Liner: Aligns the wire perfectly to reduce wear on your gun liner.
  • Easy Fix: A quick, inexpensive maintenance swap that solves major headaches.

FAQ

It acts as a guide for the welding wire as it passes through the feeder mechanism, ensuring alignment and reducing friction to prevent feeding issues.

Signs of wear include visible grooves inside the tube, metal shavings accumulating around the drive rolls, or inconsistent wire feeding (slipping or stuttering).

Yes, the 950566 is a genuine OEM replacement part manufactured by ESAB.

No, this part is designed specifically for certain ESAB wire feeder models. Please check your equipment's parts manual for compatibility.

Generally, yes, but for aluminum, it is critical to ensure all guide surfaces are smooth and free of burrs to prevent shaving the soft wire.

Typically, the insert tubing is sold as the tube only. Retaining clips or collets are usually sold separately or reused from the existing assembly.

It is typically made from a durable metal or hard polymer designed to resist wear from the sliding welding wire.

It depends on usage volume, but it is good practice to inspect it whenever you change your drive rolls or liner.
