0455072001 - ESAB Steel Intermediate Wire Guide .062-5/64

Reliable Wire Feeding with ESAB Genuine Parts

The ESAB Intermediate Guide Steel .062-5/64 (Part Number: 0455072001) is a critical component for maintaining the efficiency and reliability of your industrial wire feeding system. Designed specifically for use with ESAB wire feeders, this intermediate guide is engineered to handle steel wires with diameters ranging from 0.062 inches (1/16") to 5/64 inches. In high-volume welding environments, the integrity of your wire delivery system is paramount. Even minor misalignments or wear in the guide path can lead to feeding issues, arc instability, and costly downtime.

Constructed from high-grade steel, this guide is built to withstand the abrasive nature of steel welding wires. Unlike generic replacements that may suffer from poor tolerances, this genuine ESAB part ensures a perfect fit within the drive roll assembly. It sits between the drive rolls, bridging the gap and ensuring the wire does not buckle or wander as it is pushed through the system. This is particularly important when pushing thicker wires, which require significant force and precise alignment to prevent "birdnesting" or tangling at the drive rolls.

At Josef Gas, we understand that having the right parts on hand is essential for your operations. Whether you are fabricating heavy structural steel or performing maintenance repairs, ensuring your wire feeder is equipped with the correct guides for your wire size is a simple yet effective way to guarantee weld quality. This guide is specifically color-coded or marked (where applicable) to identify its size range, making changeovers quick and error-free during setup.

Regular inspection of your wire feeder's guide tubes is recommended. Over time, the constant friction of the moving wire can create grooves or burrs inside the guide, which increases drag and can cause erratic feeding. Replacing worn guides with the ESAB 0455072001 restores the smooth, low-friction path required for consistent arc performance. Trust Josef Gas for all your ESAB consumables and replacement parts.
