OVERVIEW

Wire Wizard A-16F-6 Conduit Connector for EC-6

The Wire Wizard A-16F-6 Conduit Connector is a specialized accessory designed to optimize the performance of industrial wire feeding systems. Engineered specifically for use with EC-6 Extra Flexible Conduit, this connector serves as a critical interface between the conduit and various components of the welding setup, such as wire feeders, bulk wire drums, or payoff packs. By ensuring a secure and stable connection, the A-16F-6 helps maintain the structural integrity of the wire delivery path, which is essential for consistent welding arc performance.

This connector features a 1/2" NPT Female (National Pipe Thread) connection. This standard threading allows for broad compatibility with a wide range of industrial fittings, pipe nipples, and equipment ports. Whether you are retrofitting an existing robotic cell or setting up a new semi-automatic welding station, the A-16F-6 provides the versatility needed to create a custom wire delivery solution. The female thread design allows it to accept 1/2" NPT male fittings, making it easy to adapt to different feeder inlet guides or drum hoods.

Constructed from high-quality materials, the Wire Wizard A-16F-6 is built to withstand the rigors of heavy manufacturing environments. The compression-style mechanism grips the EC-6 conduit firmly without crushing it, ensuring that the inner diameter remains consistent for smooth wire travel. This prevents the "chatter" or friction that can lead to burn-backs and erratic arc starts. Proper conduit termination is often overlooked, but using the correct connector like the A-16F-6 is vital for preventing contamination from entering the wire liner and for protecting the wire from physical damage.

In the realm of welding automation and high-volume fabrication, downtime caused by wire feeding issues can be costly. The Wire Wizard ecosystem is renowned for its ability to solve these problems, and the A-16F-6 is a key component in that solution. It ensures that the low-friction benefits of the EC-6 conduit are fully realized by providing a seamless transition point. This product is an essential stock item for maintenance departments supporting MIG welding operations utilizing bulk wire systems.

FAQ

The A-16F-6 is designed specifically for EC-6 Extra Flexible Conduit.

It features a 1/2" NPT Female thread.

While it is optimized for Wire Wizard EC-6 conduit, it may fit other conduits with similar outer diameters, but compatibility is not guaranteed.

Slide the nut and ferrule over the conduit, insert the conduit into the connector body, and tighten the nut to compress the ferrule for a secure grip.

Yes, the connector body is reusable, though the compression ferrule may need replacement if the connection is disassembled frequently.

The connector is typically made of durable brass or industrial-grade metal components suitable for welding environments.

Yes, the A-16F-6 is supplied as a complete assembly including the body, compression nut, and ferrule.

A female NPT connector allows for easy attachment to male NPT fittings, pipe nipples, or specific feeder inlets that require a female receiving port.
