OVERVIEW

Stop Fighting Your Wire Feeder

If you are welding aluminum, you know the headache of a birdnest. You pull the trigger, the wire stops, and you open the feeder to find a tangled mess of wire right after the drive rolls. Often, this happens because the wire isn't being supported correctly as it leaves the rolls. The ESAB 0445830886 Outlet Guide is the fix for running 2.0mm aluminum wire in your Tweco or ESAB setup.

Aluminum is soft. If there is any gap or friction between the rolls and the liner, the wire will buckle. This outlet guide bridges that gap with a smooth, low-friction path designed specifically for the diameter of 2.0mm wire. It keeps the wire straight and moving forward, protecting it from shaving against steel parts that could create drag.

Don't settle for generic guides that are "close enough." Using the correct size guide for your wire diameter is the cheapest insurance against feed problems. Swap out your worn or incorrect guide with this genuine ESAB part and get back to laying beads instead of clearing jams.

FAQ

It guides the welding wire from the drive rolls into the gun liner, providing support to prevent the wire from buckling or birdnesting.

This guide is specifically sized for 2.0mm welding wire.

While it may physically fit, it is optimized for aluminum. Steel wire typically uses metallic guides with different tolerances. It is best to use the guide designed for your specific material.

Aluminum is softer than steel and more prone to shaving and buckling (birdnesting). A dedicated guide reduces friction and provides tighter support to prevent these issues.

It is installed inside the wire feeder unit, positioned immediately after the drive rolls at the outlet point where the gun connects.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB/Tweco replacement part.

Inspect it whenever you change wire spools. If you notice grooves, wear, or excessive shaving buildup, it should be replaced to ensure smooth feeding.
