OVERVIEW

Keep Your Wire Feeder Running Smoothly

Don't let a small component cause big headaches in your welding shop. The ESAB Outlet Guide 030-035 (993860) is the replacement part you need when your wire feeder starts acting up. Over time, the constant friction of welding wire passing through the guide tube can wear it down, creating sharp edges or an oval-shaped bore. This wear often leads to "birdnesting"—where the wire tangles at the drive rolls—or inconsistent wire speeds that ruin your weld bead.

Designed specifically for .030" and .035" wires, this guide tube installs easily into your ESAB wire feeder, restoring the precise alignment needed for trouble-free operation. It acts as a funnel, directing the wire straight into the gun cable without snagging. This is particularly important when using softer wires or pushing wire over longer distances, where any resistance in the feed path can result in immediate failure.

Professional welders know that preventative maintenance is key to profitability. Keeping a spare outlet guide in your toolbox ensures that if a feed issue arises, you can swap out the part in minutes and get back to work. Trust genuine ESAB parts to provide the durability and fit required for heavy-duty welding applications.

FAQ

This guide is designed for wire diameters of 0.030 inches (0.8mm) and 0.035 inches (0.9mm).

It is installed in the wire feeder assembly, specifically at the outlet side of the drive rolls, guiding the wire into the MIG gun cable.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB OEM replacement part, ensuring perfect compatibility with ESAB feeders.

Signs of wear include visible grooves, an elongated hole, wire shaving debris near the drive rolls, or frequent birdnesting.

While the size may match, aluminum wire typically requires a Teflon or polymer guide to prevent friction and shaving. This guide is generally for steel or stainless steel wires.

Yes, as long as the flux-cored wire diameter is within the .030-.035 range.

Using the correct size prevents the wire from buckling (if the guide is too big) or binding (if the guide is too small), ensuring smooth feeding.

Using a larger guide for smaller wire can allow the wire to wander or buckle before entering the liner, leading to erratic feeding.
