23611791 - ESAB Outlet Guide Tube .035-.045

Precision Wire Feeding with ESAB Genuine Parts

The ESAB 23611791 Guide Tube is a critical component designed to ensure the seamless operation of your wire feeding system. Engineered specifically for welding wires ranging from 0.035 inches to 0.045 inches in diameter, this guide tube plays a pivotal role in bridging the gap between the drive rolls and the gun liner. In high-precision industrial welding, even minor misalignments or friction points in the wire path can lead to arc instability, irregular bead profiles, or mechanical failures. By utilizing genuine ESAB replacement parts, operators can maintain the tight tolerances required for optimal welding performance.

Manufactured from high-quality, wear-resistant materials, this guide tube is built to withstand the constant abrasion of moving steel, stainless steel, or flux-cored wires. Its internal bore is precision-machined to provide just enough clearance for the wire to move freely without excessive play, which is essential for accurate wire targeting. Over time, guide tubes can develop grooves or burrs that scrape the wire, creating shavings that clog liners and contact tips. Replacing your guide tube with the ESAB 23611791 at regular intervals is a proactive maintenance step that protects downstream components and ensures consistent electrical conductivity.

This component is compatible with specific ESAB wire feeders and welding systems. Proper installation of the guide tube ensures that the wire is supported immediately as it leaves the drive rolls, preventing it from buckling under the compressive force—a common issue known as "birdnesting." Whether you are running solid MIG wire or softer cored wires, the structural integrity of the guide tube is paramount. Trust in ESAB's engineering legacy to provide the reliability and durability needed for continuous industrial operations.

At Josef Gas, we understand that every component in the welding circuit matters. The ESAB 23611791 Guide Tube represents the quality and precision professionals expect from top-tier welding equipment manufacturers. Ensure your equipment operates at peak efficiency by replacing worn guides with this authentic ESAB part.
