0455885001 - ESAB Migmaster Compact Outlet Guide for Soft Wire 0.8-1.2mm

Reliable Wire Feeding for Soft Alloys

The ESAB Outlet Nozzle 0.8-1.2mm Soft (0455885001) is a critical component for welders working with soft materials like aluminum. In MIG welding, the path the wire travels from the spool to the contact tip must be as smooth and friction-free as possible. This is particularly true for soft wires, which lack the column strength of steel and are prone to buckling or "birdnesting" if they encounter resistance or improper guidance within the drive system.

Designed specifically for the Migmaster Compact Series (models 173, 203, and 253), this outlet nozzle bridges the gap between the drive rolls and the torch liner. It is engineered to work in tandem with AL-Soft Feed Rolls, creating an optimized feeding environment that protects the integrity of the wire. By using the correct outlet nozzle, you ensure that the wire is supported correctly as it leaves the drive rolls, minimizing feeding issues that can interrupt production and degrade weld quality.

Whether you are fabricating aluminum structures or performing automotive repairs requiring soft wire applications, using genuine ESAB parts ensures your machine operates at peak performance. This nozzle accommodates wire diameters from 0.8mm to 1.2mm, covering the most common sizes used in light to medium industrial applications. Trust Josef Gas to supply the authentic components you need to keep your ESAB equipment running smoothly.

Compatibility and Application

This part is essential when converting your Migmaster Compact machine for aluminum welding. Standard steel guides may scratch or deform soft wires, leading to liner clogging and erratic arcs. The 0455885001 nozzle provides the correct geometry and material interface required for successful soft wire delivery.
