21065 - ESAB 21065 Replacement Insulator Wire Guide

Keep Your MIG Gun Running Smooth with the ESAB 21065

Every welder knows that a smooth wire feed is the secret to a frustration-free day in the shop. If you are fighting with an erratic arc, stuttering wire, or mysterious shorts inside your gun, it might be time to check your internals. The ESAB 21065 Insulator Wire Guide is the small but mighty part that keeps your MIG gun firing on all cylinders. It’s designed to replace worn-out or cracked insulators that can cause big headaches if left unchecked.

This little part does two big jobs. First, it acts as a traffic cop for your welding wire, guiding it straight through the gun so it doesn't snag or drag. A worn guide can cause the wire to wander, leading to friction and those dreaded bird-nests back at the feeder. Second, and just as important, it acts as an electrical shield. It keeps the hot welding current where it belongs—in the wire and the arc—and stops it from arcing out against other metal parts of your gun. If you've ever felt a zap or seen sparks where they shouldn't be, a cracked insulator is often the culprit.

Built tough by ESAB, this replacement part stands up to the heat and abuse of daily welding. It’s not just a cheap piece of plastic; it’s a heat-resistant composite made to last. Swapping it out is usually a quick job that you can do right at the bench or even in the field. Don't let a five-dollar part cost you hours of downtime or ruin a critical weld. Keep a few of these 21065 Insulator Wire Guides in your toolbox so you are always ready to fix the issue and get back to burning rod.

Whether you are running a production line or working on custom fab projects, using genuine replacement parts helps your gear last longer. This guide fits specific ESAB and Tweco-style setups, so check your manual, grab the right part, and keep your beads looking slick.
