0258002583 - ESAB A9 Push-Pull Gun Inlet Nozzle 1.2mm

Precision Wire Feeding for A9 Systems

The ESAB Inlet Nozzle 1.2mm A9 (Part Number: 0258002583) is a specialized replacement component engineered for the classic A9 push-pull MIG gun systems. In the world of industrial welding, particularly when working with softer wires like aluminum or utilizing long conduit runs, the A9 system is renowned for its reliability. However, the performance of such a sophisticated feed system relies heavily on the condition of its internal guides. This inlet nozzle serves as the critical entry point for the welding wire as it moves into the gun's feed mechanism, ensuring perfect alignment and reducing the risk of feedability issues.

Designed specifically to accommodate 1.2mm welding wire, this nozzle features a precision-bored internal diameter that provides just enough clearance for the wire to pass through smoothly without excessive play. If an inlet nozzle is too large, the wire may wander, leading to erratic arc placement. If it is too tight or worn, it can cause friction, wire shaving, or even birdnesting at the drive rolls. By using this genuine ESAB part, operators ensure that the wire path remains unobstructed and geometrically correct, which is essential for maintaining a stable arc and high-quality weld deposits.

Over time, the constant friction of metal wire passing through the inlet guide will naturally cause wear. A grooved or deformed nozzle can scratch the wire surface or misalign it as it enters the liner or contact tip. Replacing the inlet nozzle is a simple yet effective maintenance step that can dramatically improve the consistency of your welding operations. This component is manufactured to ESAB's exacting standards, ensuring durability and a perfect fit within the A9 gun assembly. Whether you are performing heavy industrial fabrication or precision aluminum work, ensuring your A9 gun is equipped with a fresh inlet nozzle is key to minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.

Trust in genuine ESAB parts to maintain the integrity of your welding equipment. The 0258002583 Inlet Nozzle is the exact OEM specification for 1.2mm setups, providing peace of mind and reliable performance shift after shift.
