OVERVIEW

Genuine Tweco 90935 Outlet Guide for Heavy-Duty Welding

Maintain the reliability of your MIG welding setup with the Tweco 90935 Outlet Guide, a premium replacement part designed for professional welders. This specific guide is sized to accommodate .045-inch and 1/16-inch welding wires, making it an essential component for heavy fabrication environments where larger diameter wires are the standard. It serves as the critical interface between your wire feeder's drive rolls and the welding gun cable, ensuring the wire enters the liner smoothly and without deformation.

The primary function of the outlet guide is to support the wire column. Without a properly sized guide, the wire is prone to buckling under the push force of the drive rolls, especially if there is any resistance downstream in the gun liner or contact tip. The Tweco 90935 is machined to tight tolerances to minimize this risk. It prevents the wire from rubbing against the feeder housing or adapter walls, which can cause metal shavings to accumulate and eventually clog the liner. By keeping the wire centered and supported, this guide significantly reduces drag and promotes a stable, consistent arc.

Durability is a hallmark of Tweco products, and this outlet guide is no exception. It is built to resist the abrasive wear caused by thousands of feet of wire passing through it daily. However, like all consumables, it is a wear item. Regular inspection and replacement of the outlet guide are recommended to prevent feeding erraticism. If you notice unstable arc lengths or the wire "stuttering" despite good drive roll tension, a worn outlet guide could be the culprit.

Compatible with standard Tweco connection styles and adapters, the 90935 is easy to install. It is an inexpensive investment that protects your more costly equipment and ensures downtime is kept to a minimum. Trust Welders Supply for all your genuine Tweco replacement parts and keep your arc burning smoothly.

FAQ

This outlet guide is designed specifically for wire diameters of .045" (1.2mm) and 1/16" (1.6mm).

It is installed at the outlet side of the wire feeder mechanism, guiding the wire into the MIG gun cable adapter.

While the wire would physically fit, it is not recommended. Using a guide that is too large can allow the wire to buckle or wander, leading to feeding issues. You should use a guide matched to your wire size.

Yes, this is a genuine Tweco 90935 replacement part, ensuring proper fit and material quality.

Replace the guide if you see visible grooves worn into the ID, if it becomes clogged with debris that cannot be cleaned, or if you are experiencing persistent wire feeding resistance.

For aluminum wire, nylon or Teflon guides are typically recommended to prevent shaving. This metal guide is best suited for steel, stainless steel, and flux-cored wires.

A worn guide can cause wire drag, shaving (creating metal dust), and instability in the wire feed, resulting in an erratic arc or birdnesting at the feeder.

It is compatible with feeders and adapters designed to accept standard Tweco outlet guides. Check your specific feeder adapter manual for part number verification.
