K1546-1 - Lincoln Electric Feed Plate Incoming Bushing for K515/K565 Conduit

Reliable Wire Delivery for Professional Welders

As a professional welder, you know that a consistent arc starts with consistent wire feeding. Nothing is more frustrating than a burn-back or a stuttering arc caused by drag in the wire line. The Lincoln Electric K1546-1 Incoming Bushing is the unsung hero of your wire delivery system, specifically designed to keep your operation running smoothly. This feed plate incoming bushing connects directly to your wire conduit, acting as the secure funnel that guides your wire from the spool or drum into the protective liner. It is the first step in ensuring that your wire travels from the source to the puddle without a hitch.

Perfect for Booms and Long Runs

If you are working in a shop with boom-mounted feeders or if you have your wire drums set up away from the welding station, you are relying on long conduit runs. In these setups, the connection points are where problems usually start. The K1546-1 is built to handle these rigorous applications. It provides a solid anchor for Lincoln K515 and K565 conduits, ensuring that even as the boom swings or the cable moves, the wire path remains aligned and protected. By reducing friction at the entry point, it helps the drive rolls push wire effortlessly, reducing wear on your equipment and fatigue on the welder.

Versatile Wire Compatibility

Whether you are welding thin gauge sheet metal with .025" wire or laying down heavy structural beads with 1/16" flux-core, this bushing has you covered. It is engineered to accommodate this entire range of diameters, meaning you don't need to swap out this specific part every time you change wire sizes within that range. This versatility makes it a staple for maintenance departments and fabrication shops that handle diverse projects. It eliminates the guesswork—if you are running standard wire sizes through Lincoln conduit, this is the part you need.

Genuine Lincoln Quality

When you use genuine Lincoln Electric parts like the K1546-1, you are investing in the longevity of your entire welding system. Cheap aftermarket replacements often lack the precise tolerances required to prevent wire shaving, which can clog your liners and contact tips over time. This bushing is designed to mate perfectly with Lincoln feed plates and conduits, ensuring a tight seal against dust and shop grime. Keep your wire clean, your feed smooth, and your arc stable with the right hardware for the job. It’s a small investment that pays off in reduced downtime and frustration.
