OVERVIEW

Optimize Your Twinarc Welding System

The Lincoln Electric KP1982-1 Guide Tube Upper & Lower Twinarc is a critical component designed to maintain the high-performance standards of your Lincoln Electric Twinarc welding systems. In heavy industrial applications where deposition rates and efficiency are paramount, the Twinarc process utilizes two wires fed into a single puddle. This requires exceptional precision in wire delivery, which is exactly what this guide tube set provides. Manufactured to Lincoln Electric's rigorous OEM specifications, these guide tubes ensure that both wires travel smoothly through the drive roll assembly without crossing, tangling, or shaving.

Wear and tear on guide tubes are inevitable in high-volume welding environments. Over time, the friction from the moving wire can create grooves or burrs inside the tube, leading to erratic feeding or arc instability. Replacing your worn guides with the KP1982-1 set restores the smooth mechanical path required for consistent electrical contact and arc performance. This kit includes both the upper and lower guide tubes, allowing for a complete refresh of the wire path through the feeder mechanism.

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime costs money. That is why we stock genuine Lincoln Electric replacement parts like the KP1982-1. Whether you are operating a Submerged Arc (SAW) setup or a specialized high-deposition MIG station, using genuine parts ensures compatibility and longevity. These guide tubes are hardened to withstand the abrasive nature of welding wire, reducing the frequency of maintenance intervals and keeping your production line moving.

Proper installation of the KP1982-1 is straightforward and essential for the Twinarc process. Misalignment in dual-wire setups can lead to significant weld defects or equipment jams. By choosing this genuine Lincoln part, you are investing in the reliability and precision that your heavy-duty welding projects demand.

FAQ

The KP1982-1 guides welding wire into and out of the drive rolls, ensuring precise alignment and preventing tangling, specifically for Twinarc (dual wire) systems.

Yes, the description indicates it includes both the Upper (inlet) and Lower (outlet) guide tubes for a complete replacement.

No, this part is specifically designed for Twinarc systems which feed two wires. Standard feeders require different guide tubes.

Replace guide tubes when you see visible wear, such as grooving or keyholing, or if you experience inconsistent wire feeding and arc instability.

Yes, this is a genuine Lincoln Electric OEM part, ensuring perfect fit and performance with your Lincoln equipment.

They are typically made from hardened steel to resist the abrasive wear caused by the continuous sliding of welding wire.

Yes, Twinarc is a process often used in Submerged Arc Welding, and these guides are suitable for that application provided the feeder is Twinarc-equipped.

Yes, provided the wire diameter matches the Twinarc system specifications, these guides can generally handle solid and flux-cored wires used in that process.
