KP2125-3 - Lincoln Electric Outgoing Guide Tube for LN-7 Wire Feeder (.052-1/16 in)

Genuine Lincoln Electric KP2125-3 Outgoing Guide Tube

The Lincoln Electric KP2125-3 is a specialized outgoing guide tube designed specifically for the LN-7 series of wire feeders. In the world of semi-automatic and automatic welding, the consistency of wire delivery is paramount to achieving high-quality welds. The guide tube plays a critical role in this process, bridging the gap between the drive rolls and the gun cable or conduit. This particular model is engineered to handle wire diameters ranging from .052 inches to 1/16 inches (1.3 mm to 1.6 mm), making it a versatile component for heavy-duty fabrication tasks where larger wire sizes are commonly employed.

Using genuine Lincoln Electric parts like the KP2125-3 ensures that your equipment operates at peak efficiency. The LN-7 wire feeder is a workhorse in the industry, known for its durability and reliability. However, even the most robust machines require regular maintenance. The outgoing guide tube is subject to constant friction as the welding wire passes through it. Over time, this friction can cause the tube to wear, creating grooves or enlarging the internal diameter. This wear can lead to wire misalignment, increased resistance, and ultimately, feeding problems such as bird-nesting or erratic arc stability. By replacing your guide tube with a factory-original KP2125-3, you restore the precise alignment and smooth path necessary for optimal wire feeding.

Installation of the KP2125-3 is straightforward, designed to fit perfectly into the outgoing side of the LN-7 drive roll assembly. Its precise machining ensures that the wire is directed accurately into the receiving bushing or gun liner, minimizing the risk of shaving or deformation of the wire. This is particularly important when using softer wires or flux-cored wires that can be sensitive to feeding pressure and path deviations. The robust construction of the guide tube resists wear, extending the service intervals between replacements and reducing downtime in your welding operations.

At Josef Gas, we understand that every component in your welding setup contributes to the final result. Whether you are welding structural steel, heavy machinery, or pressure vessels, ensuring your wire feeder is equipped with the correct and healthy guide tubes is a small step that prevents major headaches. The KP2125-3 is an essential spare part to keep on hand for any shop utilizing LN-7 feeders with .052 or 1/16 inch wires. Trust in the quality of Lincoln Electric components to maintain the integrity of your welding process and protect your investment in high-performance equipment.
