Description

Model WT2531 is an aluminum welding
kit designed for use on Campbell
Hausfeld wire feed MIG welders
(WG206X and WG208X series). This kit
includes: Teflon

®

wire liner (Part

Number: WC403621AV) , smooth-
groove drive roller (Part Number:
WC500806AV) , four pieces of 0.030"
(0.8 mm) aluminum contact tips (Part
Number: WT501700AV), and 2
compression seals. These parts, when
installed in your welder, allow welding
aluminum with greater success. Along
with this kit, you will need a spool of
0.030" (0.8 mm) aluminum MIG wire
(Part Number: WE303001AV) and a
bottle of 100% Argon shielding gas
(available from your local welding gas
supplier).

Teflon

®

Wire Liner

The Teflon

®

wire liner reduces the drag

on the soft aluminum welding wire.

DO NOT USE TO WELD STEEL.

This

liner should be used for aluminum
welding only to prevent
contamination.

6. Straighten the torch hose and

remove the existing wire liner,
compression nut and compression
seal. Then remove the compression
nut from the wire liner. Note:
sometimes the compression seal is
stuck to the wire liner; therefore,
new seals are included in this kit.

7. Insert new Teflon wire liner into

torch hose. Slide compression nut
and new compression seal onto wire
liner. Slide wire liner into swan neck
until it stops against the back of the
contact tip. Tighten the compression
nut and then tighten the jam nut.

8. Place swan neck/valve assembly into

torch handle, making sure small
wires are located correctly (see
figure 5). Reassemble torch handle
with five screws
