OVERVIEW

Smooth Aluminum Feeding with Genuine Miller Teflon Liners

Frustrated with aluminum wire bird-nesting in your spool gun? The solution often lies in the condition of your liner. The Miller 197730 Teflon Head Tube Liner is an essential upgrade and replacement part for welders using Spoolmatic® 15A, 30A, or XR™-Pistol guns. When welding soft metals like aluminum, standard metal liners create too much drag, causing the wire to snag, buckle, and ruin your workflow. This genuine Miller liner is crafted from premium Teflon®, providing a slick, low-friction path that allows soft wires to slide effortlessly through the gun's neck.

Designed specifically for .047 to 1/16 inch wires, this 7.875-inch liner fits perfectly inside the head tube of your Miller gun. Aluminum welding requires precision; even a small amount of friction can lead to erratic arc stability or feed issues. By using a fresh Teflon liner, you ensure that the drive rolls can push the wire to the contact tip without resistance. This results in a consistent arc, better bead appearance, and significantly less downtime spent clearing jams from your gun.

Don't compromise your equipment's performance with generic substitutes. Genuine Miller parts are engineered to meet the exact tolerances of your machine. Whether you are fabricating aluminum trailers, repairing boat hulls, or performing industrial manufacturing, keeping a spare 197730 liner in your kit is a smart move. It is a small investment that protects your expensive spool gun and ensures your projects get done on time. Installation is quick and easy, getting you back under the hood faster.

Why Choose Teflon?

Teflon (PTFE) is the industry standard for feeding aluminum because it is self-lubricating and resists the buildup of aluminum oxide shavings. While steel liners act like a file against soft aluminum, Teflon cradles the wire, preserving its shape and surface finish before it enters the weld pool.

The liner is 7.875 inches long, designed specifically for the head tube section of the gun.

It is designed for wire diameters from .047 inches to 1/16 inches.

Teflon (PTFE) provides a low-friction surface essential for feeding soft wires like aluminum without snagging or bird-nesting.

While physically possible, Teflon liners are not recommended for steel wire as the harder steel can wear out the soft Teflon quickly. Use steel liners for steel wire.

Yes, this is a genuine Miller® OEM part, SKU 197730.

Replace the liner when you notice erratic feeding, increased resistance, or if the liner becomes kinked or clogged with debris.

No, this is the 'Head Tube Liner' (jump liner) that goes in the neck of the gun, not the main conduit from the feeder.
