The ESAB 46V68 is a specialized replacement conduit (liner) assembly designed specifically for the ESAB/L-Tec ST-16 series of MIG welding guns. Engineered for heavy industrial applications, this liner is constructed to handle large diameter welding wires, specifically up to 3/32 inch (2.4 mm). This makes it an essential component for operations utilizing heavy flux-cored wires or large solid wires in structural steel fabrication, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment manufacturing.
Proper wire feeding is critical to weld quality and arc stability. Over time, liners can become clogged with debris, kinked, or worn down by the abrasive action of the welding wire, leading to erratic feeding, burn-backs, and increased downtime. The 46V68 offers a direct OEM fit for 10-foot cable assemblies, ensuring seamless installation and optimal performance. Its robust steel spiral construction provides the necessary rigidity and low-friction path required to push heavy wires over distance without buckling.
By maintaining your equipment with genuine ESAB parts like the 46V68 conduit, you ensure the longevity of your welding torch and the consistency of your welding parameters. This component is part of the legacy support for the durable ST-16 platform, keeping trusted equipment operational in demanding environments.
