0461248880 - ESAB A2 Multitrac SAW to GMAW Conversion Kit

Turn Your Sub-Arc Tractor into a MIG Powerhouse

If you are running an ESAB A2 Multitrac for your beam or plate welding, you know it's a workhorse for submerged arc welding. But what happens when the job specs change, and you need to run heavy MIG or Flux-Cored wire with gas shielding? Instead of letting your tractor sit idle or buying a completely separate rig, the ESAB Conversion Kit A2 SAW-GMAW (0461248880) lets you swap modes and keep the sparks flying. This kit is the bridge between two worlds, giving you the freedom to tackle a wider variety of joints with the same reliable travel carriage you already trust.

Switching from Sub-Arc to MIG isn't just about changing a tip; it requires a proper setup to handle the gas shielding and different wire characteristics. This genuine ESAB kit provides the hardware you need to make that transition smooth. It replaces the flux hopper and SAW torch components with the necessary GMAW front-end parts. This means you can take advantage of the A2's steady travel speed and consistent wire feeding for long, continuous MIG welds. It’s perfect for those long structural seams where hand welding would be back-breaking and inconsistent.

For the operator, this means less hassle and more welding. The components are designed to fit perfectly—no jury-rigging required. You get the same robust build quality you expect from ESAB, meaning these parts can take the heat and abuse of a heavy fab shop. Whether you are welding bridge girders, ship panels, or large tanks, having the ability to switch processes on the fly makes your station the most versatile spot on the floor. Don't limit your A2 to just one trick; unlock its full potential with this conversion kit.

Why Convert?

While Sub-Arc is king for thick plate in the flat position, GMAW offers different advantages, including visibility of the arc and suitability for different material grades or pass requirements. By having this kit on the shelf, you ensure that your shop is never caught off guard by a change in welding procedure specifications. It’s a smart, cost-effective tool for the serious industrial welder.
