The Lincoln Electric Cored or Solid Wire Drive Roll Kit — KP1505 large-diameter series is designed for high-deposition MIG/GMAW and FCAW applications requiring wire diameters from .068–.072 in (1.7–1.8 mm) through .120 in (3.0 mm). These heavy-gauge roll kits provide the positive traction and feed consistency needed for large-diameter solid and flux-cored wires used in structural fabrication, heavy plate joining, and high-deposition overlay applications.
Large-diameter wires place greater demands on the wire feed system — requiring higher feed force, greater roll surface contact, and precisely matched groove geometry to prevent slippage and maintain the steady wire speed that stable GMAW and FCAW arcs require. The KP1505 large-diameter kits are Lincoln Electric factory-matched components that ensure your feeder performs to specification across the most demanding high-deposition AWS GMAW and FCAW applications.
