0700200179 - ESAB MXH Aluminum Liner 0.8mm (0.030")

Smooth Feeding for Precision Aluminum Welding

If you have ever wrestled with a bird-nest of aluminum wire at the drive rolls or experienced the frustration of a stuttering arc while trying to lay down a perfect bead on thin-gauge aluminum, you know that the liner is the unsung hero of your MIG gun. The ESAB 0700200179 Liner is specifically crafted to address the unique headaches associated with welding aluminum. Designed for 0.8mm (0.030") wire, this liner is the perfect match for your ESAB MXH push-pull torch, ensuring that your equipment works with you, not against you.

Aluminum wire is soft and unforgiving. Using a standard steel liner—or even a dirty or worn-out Teflon liner—acts like a brake on the wire. This friction causes the wire to stretch, shave, or buckle, leading to erratic feeding and burn-back. This ESAB liner features a high-grade, low-friction composition that allows the wire to glide effortlessly through the cable assembly. This is crucial for push-pull systems where synchronization between the cabinet drives and the gun drives relies on minimal resistance in the conduit. The result is a consistent wire feed speed, which translates directly to a stable arc and a clean, professional weld appearance.

Installation is straightforward, designed to fit seamlessly into your existing MXH setup. Whether you are fabricating marine components, repairing automotive panels, or working on custom aluminum projects, trusting your feed system is half the battle. A fresh liner eliminates the micro-vibrations and drag that ruin weld consistency. It also prevents the buildup of aluminum oxide and shavings that can contaminate your weld pool or cause electrical conductivity issues within the gun.

Don't let a cheap or worn-out liner compromise your work. Aluminum welding requires precision, cleanliness, and the right tools. By using the ESAB 0700200179, you are ensuring that the path from the spool to the puddle is as smooth as possible. Keep a spare in your toolbox; when you start feeling that familiar drag or seeing your arc wander, a quick liner swap is often all it takes to get back to stacking dimes with confidence.
