The ESAB Wear Insert (Part No. 0700200182) is an essential replacement part for professional welders utilizing ESAB wire feed units. This guide is specifically calibrated for wire sizes between 0.8mm and 1.6mm, covering the most common applications from light-gauge sheet metal work to heavy structural welding. The insert serves as a low-friction conduit, aligning the wire perfectly with the drive rolls to maximize traction and minimize deformation.
Over time, the constant friction of moving wire can groove or widen the bore of the guide, leading to play in the wire path. This misalignment often manifests as unstable arc starts or inconsistent wire stick-out. Replacing the wear insert is a simple yet effective maintenance step that can dramatically improve weld consistency. This OEM part is manufactured to strict tolerances, ensuring that the wire is supported correctly as it enters or exits the drive mechanism.
Designed for durability, the 0700200182 insert resists the abrasive nature of welding wires, including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. It is a vital component for preventing "shavings"—small metal particles that can clog liners and guns—by ensuring the wire enters the liner cleanly. Keep your ESAB equipment running at peak performance by integrating regular inspection and replacement of wear inserts into your maintenance schedule.
