0332318002 - ESAB Inlet Guide Nozzle for 3/32-1/8 Cored Wire

Smooth Feeding for Cored Wire Welding

Keep your welding operations running smoothly with the ESAB 0332318002 Inlet Nozzle. If you are running heavy cored wires, you know that feeding issues can ruin a good weld and kill your productivity. This inlet nozzle is designed specifically to tackle the challenges of feeding 3/32" to 1/8" flux-cored and metal-cored wires. It acts as the first point of contact for your wire as it enters the feeder, ensuring it is perfectly aligned with the drive rolls without snagging or scraping.

Worn inlet guides are a common, yet often overlooked, cause of erratic wire feeding. As the wire cuts grooves into an old guide, it adds friction and drag, causing the motor to work harder and the arc to stutter. Replacing your inlet nozzle with this genuine ESAB part restores the smooth, low-friction path your wire needs. It is built tough to withstand the rough surface of cored wires, meaning you spend less time swapping out parts and more time laying down metal.

Whether you are working on structural steel, heavy equipment repair, or shipbuilding, reliable equipment is key. Don't let a small part cause big downtime. The ESAB 0332318002 ensures your heavy-duty feeder operates at peak efficiency, protecting your wire from deformation and ensuring consistent delivery to the weld pool.
