0469837882 - ESAB Outlet Guide 5/64-3/32 for Steel/Stainless/Cored Wire

Keep Your Wire Running Smooth

There is nothing more frustrating than a wire feed issue right in the middle of a long weld. If you are running heavy wire—like 5/64" or 3/32"—you know that the drive system takes a beating. This ESAB Outlet Guide (0469837882) is the piece that sits right after your drive rolls, guiding that thick wire safely into the gun liner. It’s built tough to handle the drag and friction of heavy steel, stainless, and even flux-cored wires without binding up.

Why does this little part matter? Because if your outlet guide gets grooved or worn out, your wire starts to wander. That wandering leads to friction, erratic feeding, and the dreaded birdnest at the feeder. This guide is designed specifically for the big stuff—FE (Steel), SS (Stainless), and CO (Cored) wires. It keeps everything aligned perfectly so your drive rolls can do their job without slipping or chewing up the wire.

Swapping this out is a quick fix that can save you hours of headache down the line. If you are noticing your wire chattering or your arc pulsing, check your guides. If you are running ESAB gear with these larger diameters, this is the genuine replacement you need to get back to laying down smooth beads. Don't let a cheap worn-out guide ruin your day; keep a spare in your box.
