Welding Kit
Description
Model WT2530 is an aluminum welding
kit designed for use on all Campbell
Hausfeld wire feed MIG welders (WG
series). This kit includes: PTFE wire liner
(Part Number: WC600210AV) , smoothgroove drive roller (Part Number:
WC500008AV) and four pieces of
0.030" (0.8 mm) aluminum contact tips
(Part Number: WT501800AV). 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 (Part Number:
WT601100AV).
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 1a). WG3020: Remove four
screws (see figure 1b).
3. Disassemble torch handle by
Figure 1b – Remove these four screws
Figure 2a – Remove these four screws
Figure 2b – Remove screw and twist nut
removing four screws (see figure
2a). WG3020: Remove one screw
and twist nut (see figure 2b).
4. Remove swan neck/valve assembly
from handle (see figure 3a).
WG3020: (see figure 3b).
5. Remove the existing wire liner from

the valve. Unlock by pulling up,
then out from the valve (see figure
4a). WG3020: Pull liner from valve
while pressing collar of liner fitting
(see figure 4b).
6. Straighten the torch hose and
Figure 4a
Figure 4b
remove the existing wire liner. Then,
insert the PTFE wire liner into the
torch hose.
7. Push new liner into the valve at an
angle until seated fully and then
push sideways to lock it in position
(see figure 4a). WG3020: Push new
liner into fitting. It locks
automatically.
8. Place swan neck/valve assembly into
torch handle, making sure small
black wires are located correctly (see
figure 5a). Reassemble torch handle
with four screws. WG3020: Make
sure trigger is positioned correctly
(see figure 5b).

9. Reattach torch cable cover onto
drive deck, making sure wire liner is
aligned with drive roller, but not
touching the roller (see figure 6).
Note: Trim the liner’s length as
needed.

Smooth-Groove Drive Roller
The existing serrated-groove drive roller
will cut notches in the soft aluminum
welding wire. These notches increase
the drag within the wire liner. The
smooth-groove drive roller eliminates
this problem. WG3020: Use the smoothgroove drive roller supplied with your
welder.
1. Verify the welder is OFF and
UNPLUGGED.
2. Open wire feed door and locate
drive deck. Release tension on swing
arm by removing tension screw and
spring.
3. Remove roller cover by removing
two screws (see figure 7).
Figure 7 – Remove these two screws
4. Remove serrated-groove drive roller
and replace with smooth-groove
drive roller. Install drive roller with
"0,8-0,9" stamping facing out. This
aligns the correct groove for 0.030"-
0.035" (0.8-0.9 mm) wire with the
liner.
5. Reinstall roller cover, tension screw
and spring.
Aluminum Contact Tip
The contact tips in this kit have been
designed specifically for welding
aluminum. The hole is slightly oversized
to reduce drag. There is more mass to
handle the extra heat associated with
aluminum welding. And, the tip is
tapered for use with shielding gases.
These tips are to be used with 0.030"
(0.8 mm) aluminum MIG wire.
1. Remove nozzle by turning
counterclockwise.
2. Remove existing contact tip by
turning counterclockwise.
3. Install 0.030" (0.8 mm) aluminum
contact tip.
4. Reinstall nozzle.
Aluminum Welding Help
• Make sure your base metal is very
clean. New aluminum will oxidize
almost immediately. Thin layers of
oxidation are clear and cannot be
seen. Use a stainless steel brush to
clean the weld area and the work
clamp area. Use the stainless steel
brush only on aluminum to prevent
contamination.
• The center of the contact tip must be
clean to transfer the current required
for welding aluminum. Even new
contact tips can benefit from cleaning
with a tip cleaner.
• Since aluminum conducts heat so
well, higher welder output is
required. Also, the wire and travel
speeds need to be faster.
• Work clamp connection must be
thoroughly clean and as close to the
weld area as possible.
• When welding thin material, it is
usually easier to use a "push"
technique rather than a "pull"
technique.
