OVERVIEW

Reliable Wire Feeding for Your ESAB Rebel

The ESAB Wire Guide Tube (0558102516) is a critical component designed specifically for the wire drive assembly of the ESAB Rebel EMP 235ic multi-process welder. Precision-engineered to handle wire diameters from .023" to .030" (0.6mm to 0.8mm), this guide tube plays a vital role in ensuring that your welding wire travels smoothly from the spool, through the drive rolls, and into the liner. Without a properly sized and functioning guide tube, welders often experience erratic feeding, wire shaving, or the frustrating "birdnesting" that can halt production and waste valuable materials.

At Josef Gas, we understand that the smallest components often dictate the reliability of your entire welding setup. This genuine ESAB part features a specific length of 30.25mm, tailored to bridge the gap in the Rebel 235ic's drive system perfectly. Using the correct guide tube for your wire size is essential; a tube that is too large allows the wire to wander, leading to poor alignment with the drive roll groove, while a tube that is too small will cause excessive friction and drag. This unit is optimized for the lighter gauge wires typically used in auto body work and thin sheet metal fabrication.

Maintenance of your wire feeder is key to consistent arc performance. Over time, guide tubes can become grooved, clogged with debris, or misaligned. Replacing your old guide with this factory-original ESAB part restores the mechanical integrity of your feed system. Whether you are welding mild steel with solid wire or using stainless steel consumables, this guide tube ensures the wire is supported and directed accurately, minimizing downtime and maximizing weld quality.

FAQ

This guide tube is designed for wire diameters ranging from .023 inches to .030 inches.

No, this specific part (30.25mm length) is listed for the Rebel EMP 235ic. Please check your manual for the 215ic part number.

It is installed in the wire drive assembly inside the machine, guiding the wire into or out of the drive rolls.

Over time, the wire can wear a groove in the tube or it can become clogged with debris, causing friction and poor feeding.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB replacement part, number 0558102516.

Yes, as long as the flux-cored wire diameter is within the .023-.030 range, though these sizes are typically solid wire.

No, this is for the guide tube only. Drive rolls are sold separately.
