0459990062 - ESAB PP2R Wire Inlet Guide 1.4-1.6mm

Keep Your Wire Feeding Smooth with ESAB

If you are running an ESAB PP2R system, you know that smooth wire feeding is the name of the game. The moment your inlet guide starts to wear out, you start seeing issues: erratic arc, wire chatter, or even birdnesting at the feeder. This ESAB Inlet Guide (0459990062) is the direct replacement you need to get back to welding smoothly. It is sized specifically for 1.4mm to 1.6mm wire, making it perfect for those running 1/16" wire in heavy-duty applications.

Think of the inlet guide as the funnel that lines everything up before the drive rolls grab the wire. If it's grooved or clogged with dirt, your drive rolls have to work harder, and the wire might shave off metal flakes that end up clogging your liner further down the line. Swapping this out is a cheap and easy fix that saves you a ton of headache. It takes just a minute to install but can save you hours of downtime troubleshooting feed issues.

This isn't a generic part that "might" fit; it's the OEM part from ESAB. That means no filing, no forcing, and no guessing. It drops right in and works. Whether you are welding aluminum and need that friction-free feed, or pushing heavy flux-core, a fresh inlet guide is one of the simplest maintenance tasks you can do to keep your beads looking right.

Why Welders Replace This Part:

• Fixes Feeding Issues: Solves slipping and stuttering caused by misalignment.
• Protects the Liner: Stops wire shavings from entering the cable.
• Quick Maintenance: Easy to change out during a wire spool change.
