Help finding a vendor for this welding wire liner
(OP)
I have been unsuccessful trying to find a vendor for this welding wire liner. I know I can buy it from a welding supply shop like praxair but they only offer it with ends appropriate for installing it in a particular MIG gun.
Anyone know what this type of item is called? Maybe something like wire wound flexible conduit? I not sure what buzzword will get me results.
Thanks in advance

Google returned a lot of suppliers, but you haven't give a make of your machine.
Good hunting.

B.E.
You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

The one in my photo is from a hand held Miller MIG torch. We are putting it on a machine we are designing.

The photo looks a lot like a spring, but it could just have a big burr from cutting hiding the interlocking parts. If it is just a wound spring, they are easy to find or have made. You call it a "liner", so it may not be interlocking, its primary function may be controlling bend radii, hence a spring.

I only called it a liner as that's what welders call them. A more generic term would be conduit. It is used to guide welding filler wire to the torch tip.

I'd think any spring winding company could make it.

so you can cut it to length and crimp your own connections/connectors onto the ends.

That's exactly what I was after. Thanks a bunch.
