If you have ever welded aluminum with a MIG gun, you know the frustration of "birdnesting." You pull the trigger, the drive rolls spin, but the wire stops coming out of the tip—instead, it tangles into a mess right at the feeder. This nightmare scenario is often caused by using the wrong liner. The Lincoln Electric KP1958-1B1 is your solution. Specifically designed for aluminum welding, this "Black" liner is made from a durable, low-friction polymer that allows soft aluminum wire to slide through the cable without dragging or buckling. Unlike steel liners that can scratch and shave your wire, this smooth conduit protects the integrity of the wire surface, ensuring that it arrives at the weld puddle clean and consistent.
This liner is built to handle the two most popular aluminum wire sizes: .035 inch and 3/64 inch. Whether you are welding thin gauge aluminum sheet for an automotive project or fabricating marine components, this liner provides the support your wire needs. It comes in a 10-foot length, which is the industry standard for aluminum push-only guns; keeping the gun cable short is another trick to successful aluminum welding, and this liner fits that setup perfectly. If your gun is slightly shorter, the liner is easily trimmed to the perfect length during installation. The black color coding takes the guesswork out of your setup—when you see the black end protruding from your machine, you know you are rigged for .035 or 3/64 aluminum.
We know that in a busy shop, downtime is money. That is why this product comes in a convenient 10-pack. Aluminum liners can wear out or get kinked if a forklift runs over your cable. With a 10-pack in your tool crib, you are never left stranded waiting for a part delivery. You can simply grab a fresh liner, install it in minutes, and get back to laying down perfect beads. Upgrade your equipment with genuine Lincoln Electric consumables and experience the difference that the right liner makes in your arc stability and wire feed speed.
