Installing and replacing wire liner

The Flexlite GX MIG welding gun cable packs are delivered with the wire liner preinstalled, except the S-models (long cable packages). Refer to this section when the wire liner needs to be replaced or when taking a Flexlite GX S-model in use.

The wire liner is a consumable part, which needs to be changed if worn and when the filler wire material changes.

For replacing the steel wire liner, refer to Replacing steel wire liner.

For replacing the DL Chili wire liner, refer to Replacing DL Chili wire liner.

For the multi-neck wire liner replacement, refer to Replacing wire liner for multi-neck in conjunction with the main wire liner replacement instructions.

If you change the filler wire to a different diameter or material, change also the feed rolls in the wire feed system accordingly.

With most of the Flexlite GX welding gun models both steel wire liner and DL Chili wire liner can be used. However, with Flexlite GX S-models, it is recommended to use only DL Chili wire liners.

The filler wire must be removed before the wire liner replacement.

This replacement instruction applies to wire liners with a joint end cap and sleeve nut assembly (A). For replacing a wire liner using a separate end cap and sleeve nut assembly (B), refer to the instructions here (pdf). Always read the instructions delivered with the replacement wire liner as well.
