OVERVIEW

Smooth Feeding for Heavy Wire Welding

Is your wire stuttering, surging, or burning back to the tip? If you are running heavy wire like 1/16" or 5/64" through a 15-foot gun, a worn-out liner is often the culprit. The Tweco 1440-1142 (Model WS44-564-15) is the direct replacement conduit you need to get your machine running smoothly again. Designed specifically for the demands of thicker welding wires, this liner provides a stable and low-friction path for the wire to travel, ensuring that what you set at the feeder is exactly what you get at the puddle.

Over time, MIG liners become clogged with copper dust, dirt, and metal shavings, or they can develop kinks that disrupt the wire feed. This is especially true with larger diameter wires which require more force to push. The Tweco 1440-1142 is built from robust zinc-plated spring steel to withstand this abrasion and pressure. The 15-foot length is standard for many shop floor setups, giving you the reach you need around large workpieces. If your gun is shorter than 15 feet, this liner can easily be measured and trimmed to fit your specific handle and power pin configuration.

Installing a fresh liner is one of the cheapest and most effective ways to improve your welding performance. A good liner prevents "bird-nesting" at the drive rolls and ensures a stable arc, which is critical when welding thick plate or structural components. This particular model fits Tweco WeldSkill guns and many other torches compatible with Tweco 44-series consumables. Don't let a cheap, clogged spring ruin your welds or waste your expensive wire. Keep a spare Tweco 1440-1142 in your toolbox and ensure your heavy-duty MIG setup is always ready for action.

FAQ

This liner is designed for wire diameters from 1/16 inch (1.6mm) to 5/64 inch (2.0mm).

The liner is 15 feet long but can be trimmed to fit shorter cable assemblies if necessary.

No, this is a steel wound liner. For aluminum welding, a Teflon or Nylon liner is recommended to prevent wire shaving and friction issues.

Signs include erratic wire feeding, the wire stuttering at the tip, excessive drive roll tension required, or visible kinks in the liner when removed.

It fits Tweco guns that utilize the 44-series liners, which includes many WeldSkill, Spray Master, and Professional series guns configured for 15ft cables.

It is made of zinc-plated spring steel wire.

While you can physically feed .045 wire through it, it is not recommended. The extra space inside the liner can cause the wire to wander, leading to poor arc stability. You should use a liner matched to your wire size (e.g., 44-45-15).

Remove the nozzle, contact tip, and gas diffuser. Disconnect the gun from the feeder. Pull the old liner out from the back end. Slide the new liner in, trim the excess at the front according to your gun's manual (usually flush or sticking out slightly), and reinstall the front-end parts.
