OVERVIEW

Tweco WeldSkill Aluminum Conduit Liner 1440-1136

The Tweco 1440-1136 is a specialized conduit liner designed for the WeldSkill series of MIG guns, specifically engineered for feeding 1/16-inch (1.6mm) aluminum welding wire. In industrial welding applications, feeding soft aluminum wire presents unique challenges compared to steel; standard steel liners can shave the soft aluminum, causing clogged liners, erratic feeding, and the dreaded "bird-nesting" at the drive rolls. This product addresses those issues with a high-quality nylon construction that provides a low-friction path for the wire.

Measuring 15 feet in length, this liner is suitable for standard length MIG cable assemblies. The nylon material is critical for aluminum applications as it prevents the wire from dragging against a hard metal surface. This reduction in friction is paramount for maintaining a stable arc and ensuring high-quality weld deposits. The liner is built to the exacting standards of Tweco, a leader in welding gun manufacturing, ensuring a perfect fit and reliable performance in WeldSkill equipment.

Proper maintenance of your MIG gun's feeding system is essential for productivity. When switching from steel to aluminum, or when your existing aluminum liner becomes worn or kinked, replacing it with the correct Tweco 1440-1136 liner restores optimal performance. This component is an indispensable part of any aluminum MIG welding setup, providing the smooth delivery required for professional results.

FAQ

This liner is designed for 1/16" (1.6mm) welding wire.

No, nylon liners are not recommended for steel wire as the harder steel can cut into the plastic. Use steel wound liners for steel wire.

The liner is 15 feet long.

It is designed for the WeldSkill series. Check your specific gun model's parts breakdown to confirm compatibility.

Aluminum is soft; steel liners can shave the wire, causing clogs and friction. Nylon provides a smooth, non-abrasive surface.

It typically includes the necessary attachment mechanism for the back end of WeldSkill guns, but check the specific package contents.

WS stands for WeldSkill, indicating the series of Tweco products it belongs to.

Change it if you notice erratic feeding, or if the liner becomes kinked or clogged with dirt/lubricant.
