0349312644 - ESAB Caddy Mig Gas Hose Assembly US Complete

Genuine ESAB Gas Hose Assembly for Caddy Mig Systems

The ESAB Gas Hose Caddy Mig US Compl (SKU: 0349312644) is a critical replacement component designed specifically for the ESAB Caddy Mig series of portable inverters, including the popular C160i and C200i models. As an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, this hose assembly guarantees the precise fitment and performance standards required by high-end ESAB equipment. In the world of MIG welding, the integrity of the shielding gas delivery system is paramount; even minor leaks or kinks in the supply line can lead to porosity, oxidation, and compromised weld integrity. This assembly eliminates those risks by providing a factory-spec solution.

This specific unit is designated "US Compl" (US Complete), meaning it is pre-fitted with the standard connection hardware used in the United States market. This ensures seamless integration with standard US gas regulators and the rear inlet of the Caddy Mig machine. The hose itself is constructed from durable, industrial-grade materials capable of withstanding the rigors of mobile welding applications. Whether the machine is being moved around a workshop, a construction site, or a garage, the hose maintains flexibility while resisting abrasion, cuts, and environmental wear.

For procurement specialists and facility managers, stocking genuine ESAB parts like the 0349312644 ensures that downtime is minimized. Attempting to retrofit generic hoses onto specialized portable equipment often results in poor connections and wasted shielding gas. This complete assembly allows for a "plug-and-play" repair or replacement, restoring the machine to factory operating conditions immediately. It is an essential spare part for any fleet managing ESAB Caddy Mig units, ensuring that the premium arc characteristics of the machine are supported by reliable gas coverage.

The assembly includes the hose and necessary end fittings, crimped and tested to withstand the pressures associated with welding shielding gases (Argon, CO2, and mixes). By maintaining the correct internal diameter and pressure rating, this hose supports the precise gas flow rates that the Caddy Mig's internal valves are calibrated for, ensuring consistent arc starts and stable welding performance across the machine's duty cycle.
