0446183001 - ESAB OEM Hose Clamp for Wire Feeders and Cooling Units

Genuine ESAB Replacement Component

The ESAB 0446183001 Clamp is a critical Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) component designed specifically for the maintenance and repair of ESAB welding automation and manual equipment. In the complex ecosystem of a wire feeder or cooling unit, the integrity of fluid and gas delivery systems is paramount. This clamp is engineered to provide the exact radial tension required to secure hoses against fittings without damaging the hose material or loosening under the high-frequency vibrations typical of industrial welding environments.

Primarily utilized in ESAB's renowned Origo Feed and Aristo Feed series, as well as OCE cooling units, this clamp serves a vital role in preventing coolant leaks and shielding gas loss. A compromised clamp can lead to pressure drops, atmospheric contamination of the weld pool, or catastrophic failure of liquid-cooled torches due to coolant interruption. By utilizing the genuine 0446183001 part, maintenance personnel ensure that the equipment remains within its factory specifications for safety and performance.

Constructed from high-grade materials, this clamp offers resistance to the thermal cycling and environmental contaminants found in fabrication shops. Unlike generic hardware store clamps which may have incorrect band widths or tightening mechanisms that interfere with internal machine clearances, this ESAB specific part fits perfectly into the tight confines of the wire feeder chassis. It represents a small but essential investment in the longevity and reliability of your high-performance welding assets.

Technical Application

This component is frequently identified in the spare parts diagrams for the Origo Feed 302, 304, 484, and 4804 units, often securing the internal gas hose or water cooling lines. It is also found in the assembly of the OCE-2 H cooling unit. Proper installation requires verifying the hose condition before tightening to ensure a hermetic seal.
