62N17 - ESAB 62N17 Wire Feeder Outlet Guide for 5/64-3/32 Inch Wire

Optimize Your Wire Feeding System with Genuine ESAB Parts

The ESAB 62N17 Outlet Guide is a critical component designed to maintain the efficiency and reliability of your wire feeding system. Engineered specifically for heavy-duty welding applications utilizing wire diameters between 5/64" and 3/32", this guide ensures that the consumable is directed precisely from the drive rolls into the welding gun liner. In industrial environments where downtime equates to lost revenue, maintaining the integrity of the wire feed path is essential. A worn or incorrect outlet guide can lead to wire shaving, increased friction, and erratic arc stability, all of which compromise weld quality.

This genuine ESAB replacement part is manufactured to exact tolerances, ensuring a seamless fit with compatible ESAB wire feeders. The guide acts as the final control point within the feeder mechanism, stabilizing the wire as it exits the drive rolls. This is particularly important when working with larger diameter wires, such as flux-cored or metal-cored wires, which can be more prone to feeding issues if not properly guided. By reducing the play and vibration of the wire at the exit point, the 62N17 helps prevent "birdnesting"—the tangling of wire at the drive rolls—which is a common and frustrating issue for operators.

Constructed from durable materials capable of withstanding the constant friction of moving metal, the ESAB 62N17 offers longevity and consistent performance. Regular inspection and replacement of the outlet guide are recommended as part of a preventative maintenance schedule. If you notice metal shavings accumulating near the drive rolls or experience inconsistent wire speeds despite correct tension settings, it may be time to replace your outlet guide. Trust in genuine ESAB components to keep your equipment running at peak performance levels.
