0459990062 - ESAB PP2R Wire Inlet Guide 1.4-1.6mm

Genuine ESAB Replacement Inlet Guide for PP2R Systems

The ESAB Inlet Guide (SKU: 0459990062) is a critical component designed for the maintenance and optimization of ESAB PP2R wire feeding systems. Engineered to precise manufacturer specifications, this inlet guide facilitates the smooth transition of welding wire into the drive mechanism, specifically accommodating wire diameters ranging from 1.4mm to 1.6mm (approximately 1/16 inch). In industrial welding environments, the integrity of the wire feed path is paramount to maintaining arc stability and weld quality.

Over time, inlet guides can become worn or grooved, leading to increased friction, erratic wire feeding, or the generation of metal shavings that can clog liners and contact tips. This replacement part restores the original performance of your equipment. It is particularly essential for push-pull systems where synchronization and low-friction feeding are necessary to prevent wire buckling, especially when working with softer materials like aluminum. By ensuring the wire is correctly aligned as it enters the drive rolls, this guide minimizes wear on downstream components.

Installation is straightforward, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly swap out worn guides during routine service intervals. Using genuine ESAB parts guarantees compatibility and dimensional accuracy, eliminating the fitment issues often associated with generic aftermarket alternatives. This component is an investment in the longevity of your welding torch and the consistency of your production output.

Key Technical Benefits:

• Precision Fit: Exact dimensions for PP2R housings prevent movement and misalignment.


• Wear Resistance: Manufactured from durable materials to withstand the constant friction of moving wire.


• Versatility: Covers the popular 1.6mm (1/16") wire size often used in heavy fabrication.
