Lincoln Electric Incoming Guide Tube for NA-3S/NA-4/NA-5S Feeders

Reliable Feeding for Heavy-Duty Welding

Keep your automatic welding operations running without interruption using the Lincoln Electric KP2116-2 Incoming Guide Tube. This essential feeder component is designed to handle the rigorous demands of feeding large diameter wires, ranging from 3/32 inch up to 7/32 inch. It is specifically compatible with the Lincoln NA-3S, NA-4, and NA-5S wire feeders, making it a go-to part for shops utilizing these workhorse machines for structural and heavy manufacturing projects.

The incoming guide tube serves a vital function by directing the wire from the payoff source directly into the drive rolls. Without a properly functioning guide tube, wire can become misaligned, leading to slippage, erratic feeding, or damage to the drive mechanism. The KP2116-2 is built to handle both solid and flux-cored wires, providing a smooth, low-friction path that helps straighten the wire slightly before it is gripped by the rolls. This results in consistent wire feed speed, which is directly responsible for maintaining a steady arc and high-quality weld bead.

Installing genuine Lincoln Electric parts like the KP2116-2 ensures that your equipment operates as intended by the manufacturer. Whether you are setting up for a long submerged arc run or heavy flux-cored welding, relying on the correct guide tube eliminates variables that could compromise your weld. Durable and easy to replace, this guide tube is a smart investment for any welder or maintenance technician responsible for keeping NA-series feeders in top condition.
