KP45N-116-15 - Lincoln Electric Aluminum MIG Gun Liner 1/16in 15ft

Lincoln Electric KP45N-116-15 Aluminum Cable Liner Overview

The Lincoln Electric KP45N-116-15 is a specialized cable liner designed to facilitate the smooth feeding of aluminum welding wire. In the world of industrial welding, aluminum presents unique challenges due to its softness and lower column strength compared to steel. Using a standard steel liner for aluminum often results in friction, shaving of the wire, and the dreaded "bird-nesting" at the drive rolls. This genuine Lincoln Electric liner is engineered to solve those problems, providing a low-friction path that protects the wire and ensures consistent delivery to the contact tip.

This particular liner is sized for 1/16-inch (1.6 mm) wire and is cut to a length of 15 feet, making it suitable for standard length MIG gun cables. Proper maintenance of your MIG gun is essential for high-quality welds, and the liner is often the most overlooked component. Over time, liners can become clogged with dust, dirt, and metal shavings, or they can develop kinks that impede wire flow. Replacing your old or worn liner with the KP45N-116-15 restores the performance of your equipment, reducing downtime caused by feeding issues.

Investing in the correct liner for your material application is a small cost that yields significant operational savings. By preventing wire feed jams and erratic arcs, the KP45N-116-15 helps welders achieve cleaner beads and better penetration, ultimately leading to a more efficient and profitable workflow.
