Aluminum
Welding Kit
BUILT TO LAST
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: PTFE 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).
PTFE Wire Liner
The PTFE 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.
1. Verify the welder is OFF and
UNPLUGGED.
2. Open wire feed door and locate
drive deck. Remove torch cable
cover by removing three screws (see
figure 1).
3. Disassemble torch handle by
removing five screws (see figure 2).

4. Remove swan neck/valve assembly
from handle (see figure 3).
5. Using two 14 mm wrenches, hold
the compression nut and loosen the

remove the compression nut. Slide
the wire liner, compression nut and
compression seal out of the swan
neck being careful not to kink the
wire liner in the process (see figure
4b).

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 PTFE 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
