KP4418-1 - Lincoln Electric KP4418-1 Replacement Gun Tube for K113-2 SAW Gun

Restore Precision to Your Submerged Arc Operations

The Lincoln Electric KP4418-1 Submerged Arc Gun Tube is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the K113-2 Submerged Arc Gun. In the demanding world of heavy fabrication and industrial welding, equipment reliability is paramount. Submerged Arc Welding (SAW) processes often involve high deposition rates and long duty cycles, placing immense stress on the gun assembly. Over time, the gun tube—which guides the wire and helps direct the welding current—can wear down, leading to feeding issues or inconsistent arc performance. This genuine Lincoln Electric replacement part ensures that your equipment continues to operate at peak efficiency.

Engineered to accommodate 3/32-inch (2.4 mm) welding wire, this gun tube provides the precise internal clearance necessary for smooth wire delivery. A worn tube can cause drag on the wire, resulting in sputtering or irregular bead profiles, which are unacceptable in structural or pressure vessel applications. By installing the KP4418-1, operators can eliminate these variables, ensuring that the wire is directed exactly where it is needed in the joint. The robust construction of the tube is designed to resist the intense heat generated during the SAW process, maintaining its structural integrity even during prolonged welding shifts.

At Josef Gas, we understand that downtime is costly. Using genuine OEM parts like the KP4418-1 guarantees a perfect mechanical fit with your existing K113-2 gun, eliminating the need for modifications or the risk of incompatibility found with aftermarket copies. This tube is easy to install, allowing maintenance teams to swap out worn components quickly and get the welding cell back up and running. Whether you are welding thick plate steel, pipe, or heavy machinery components, trusting Lincoln Electric parts ensures your welds meet the rigorous standards required by your industry.

Invest in the longevity of your welding equipment. The KP4418-1 is not just a spare part; it is an assurance of quality and continuity in your production line. Keep your submerged arc systems performing like new with this essential replacement tube.
