steel liner for a chicago electric 90 amp flux core welder

[dugndeep]

I am in need of a steel liner that is 5/32" outside diameter,torch end just pushes into a self-captive connector and the welder end doesn't have to have any connector at all.The main concern is the diameter because of the connector on the torch,it has a plastic thing that when pushed in releases the liner from the connector on the torch.At least it does have a steel liner in the goose neck of the torch.As you can see there is nothing on the welder end.Mainly just need the steel liner ,no connectors.

I used a miller cricket liner on my Chicago electric 151, might be the same size.

Is there any way you could do a quick measurement for me to see if it is 5/32"

The miller liner in mine measures .195 in or about 5mm.
The original plastic one was .156 or about 4mm.
One of these might work if cut to length:

Why not just call Harbor Freight and order a liner?

They are plastic.

Thanks alot Mr. Kraft,there is an airgas store in Lexington,might ride over there in the morning,about a 25 minute ride depending on traffic.I cut just a small piece(1/8th of an inch) of the liner off just to take with me to compare,don't want to totally disable my welder until I have a replacement.I can't wait to get the steel liner on there to see the smoother wire feed that everyone talks about.That is exactly the size I need-0.030 to 0.035.Thanks for the help.....doug

A liner for a Tweco MiniMIG gun should work. You would have to cut the end off. They come in 15' lengths so you should be able to get two out of one.
