0156230885 - ESAB A6 Flux Hopper 10L Right-Hand Mount

Keep Your Sub-Arc Rig Running Smoothly

If you are running an ESAB A6 sub-arc setup, you know that the flux hopper is more than just a bucket—it's the lifeline of your weld. The ESAB Flux Hopper 10L A6 Bent Right (0156230885) is the genuine replacement part you need when your old hopper gets cracked, heat-damaged, or just worn out from years of heavy service. Submerged arc welding relies on a thick, consistent blanket of flux to protect the molten pool, and a damaged hopper can lead to inconsistent flow, exposed arcs, and porosity in your welds.

This hopper holds a solid 10 liters of flux, which means you spend less time climbing up to refill the tank and more time laying down metal. The "Bent Right" shape isn't just for looks; it's designed to fit specific A6 head configurations where a straight hopper would hit the frame or the workpiece. Before ordering, take a look at your existing setup to make sure you need the right-hand bend to match your wire drive and nozzle alignment. Getting the geometry right means your flux drops exactly where it needs to be—right over the wire.

Built tough for the shop floor, this hopper resists the radiant heat from high-amperage welding and the knocks and bumps that happen in industrial environments. It connects easily to your existing A6 mounting hardware and flux hose systems. Whether you are retrofitting an older machine or fixing a breakdown on a critical job, sticking with OEM ESAB parts saves you the headache of trying to rig up a generic container that doesn't feed right. Ensure your bead looks like a stack of dimes (or a smooth river, in the case of SAW) by keeping your flux delivery system in top shape.

Don't let a broken plastic part shut down your automation. This 10L hopper is ready to mount and get you back to welding heavy plate with the reliability you expect from ESAB equipment.
