OVERVIEW

Keep Your Wire Running Smoothly with the Tweco WS44-116-25

If you are running a 25-foot MIG gun, you know that wire feeding problems can be a nightmare. The longer the cable, the more friction the wire encounters on its way to the puddle. The Tweco WS44-116-25 (Part # 1440-1146) is the replacement liner you need to keep your WeldSkill gun operating at peak performance. Designed specifically for running heavier wires like 1/16" and 5/64", this liner is built to handle the demands of heavy fabrication where reach and reliability are non-negotiable.

Why Replace Your Liner?
A worn-out liner is the number one cause of erratic arcs and burn-backs. If you feel the wire "stuttering" in the gun or see the arc length fluctuating despite a steady hand, your liner is likely clogged or kinked. Inside the cable, the liner acts as the highway for your welding wire. Over time, it gets clogged with dirt, metal shavings, and lubricant. Replacing it with a fresh Tweco WS44-116-25 restores that smooth, consistent feed you had when the gun was new. This specific model is zinc-plated, which helps the wire slide easily and prevents rust from forming inside your cable.

Installation Tips for 25ft Guns
Installing a liner in a 25-foot gun requires a bit of care. Always lay the gun cable out completely straight on the floor before removing the old liner or inserting the new one. This prevents the new liner from kinking as you push it through. Once inserted, make sure to trim it to the correct length according to your gun's manual—usually just sticking out slightly from the neck to ensure a tight seal against the diffuser. Don't let a bad $20 part ruin a day's worth of welding; keep a spare WS44-116-25 in your toolbox so you're always ready to weld.
