KP2119-2 - Lincoln KP2119-2 Outgoing Guide Tube for .068-3/32 Wire

Precision Wire Feeding with Lincoln Electric

The Lincoln Electric KP2119-2 Guide Tube is an essential component for maintaining the reliability of your industrial wire feeding system. Specifically designed as an outgoing guide tube, this part is positioned at the exit side of the drive roll assembly. Its primary function is to capture the wire as it leaves the rolls and direct it smoothly into the welding gun cable or conduit. This particular model is engineered to accommodate heavy-duty wire sizes ranging from .068 inches to 3/32 inches (approx. 1.7mm to 2.4mm), making it suitable for high-deposition MIG and Submerged Arc Welding applications.

Using the correct guide tube is vital for preventing common feeding problems. A tube that is too large can cause the wire to wander, leading to poor electrical contact and arc instability, while a tube that is too small can cause drag and shaving. The KP2119-2 is manufactured to tight tolerances, ensuring the perfect clearance for the specified wire diameters. This precision helps eliminate "birdnesting"—where the wire tangles at the feeder—and ensures consistent wire stick-out and arc performance.

Constructed from high-quality, wear-resistant materials, this genuine Lincoln Electric part is built to withstand the abrasive nature of flux-cored and solid wires. Regular inspection and replacement of guide tubes are recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule. When grooves form or debris accumulates in the guide, feeding efficiency drops. By installing a fresh KP2119-2, you restore the mechanical integrity of your wire drive, ensuring your welding operations run smoothly and efficiently.

Trust in genuine Lincoln Electric parts to provide the durability and fitment required for professional welding environments. Whether you are operating a MAXsa wire drive or another compatible Lincoln feeder, the KP2119-2 is the correct choice for .068-3/32" outgoing wire guidance.
