376246-012 - Tweco .045 Drive Roll Kit for Fabricator 181i/211i/252i

Precision Wire Feeding for Fabricator Series Welders

The Tweco 376246-012 Drive Roll Kit is an essential maintenance component designed for the Thermal Arc and ESAB Fabricator series of multi-process welders, specifically the 181i, 211i, and 252i models. This kit is engineered to handle .045-inch (1.2mm) welding wire, providing the precise traction required for consistent arc performance. The designation "FL/S" indicates versatility in handling both Flux-Cored and Solid wires, making it a critical accessory for fabricators who switch between processes or require specific wire types for structural applications.

Proper wire feeding is the backbone of any MIG or Flux-Cored welding operation. Worn drive rolls can lead to slippage, irregular wire speeds, and ultimately, poor weld quality. This OEM kit replaces the entire feeding interface, including the drive rolls themselves and the associated inlet and outlet guides. By replacing these components simultaneously, operators ensure that the wire path is aligned correctly and that the wire is supported throughout its travel from the spool to the gun liner.

Manufactured to Tweco's high standards, the rolls feature precision-machined grooves that grip the wire firmly without deforming it. This is particularly important for flux-cored wires, which are tubular and more susceptible to crushing than solid wires. The kit's robust construction ensures durability in industrial environments, reducing downtime associated with feed failures. Whether used in automotive repair, light fabrication, or maintenance operations, this drive roll kit restores the reliability of the wire feed system.

Compatibility Note: This kit is specifically designed for the 2-roll wire feed systems found in the specified Fabricator models. Please verify your machine model and desired wire diameter before installation to ensure proper fitment and performance.
