Connection to Adapted Feeders
Gun cable assemblies which were assembled with a
K466-2 Connector Kit will connect easily to any
properly adapted feeder.
a. Check that the adapter and feeder outgoing guide,
as well as the drive roll, are appropriate for the
electrode size being used.
b. Fully push the brass connector end of the gun
cable into the brass adapter on the outgoing side of
the feeder wire drive. Secure the cable using the
hand screw or set screw in the adapter.
c. Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger
circuit into the mating socket on the gun cable con-
nector handle.

Connection to Miller Feeders

Gun and cable assemblies which were assembled
with a K466-3 Connector Kit will connect easily to a
variety of popular Miller wire feeders.
a. Check that the gun liner, connector cap liner, drive
rolls and guide tubes are appropriate for the elec-
trode size being used. Three different diameter
pieces of liner material are included in each kit.
b. Fully push the brass connector end of the gun and
cable into the connector receptacle on the outgoing
side of the feeder wire drive. Tighten the hand
screw to clamp down on the connector.
c. Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger
circuit into the mating socket on the gun cable con-
nector handle.

Connection to Hobart Feeders

Gun and cable assembles which were assembled with
a K466-4 Connector Kit will connect easily to a variety
of Hobart wire feeders.
a. Check that the gun liner, connector cap liner, drive
rolls and guide tubes are appropriate for the elec-
trode size being used. These different diameter
pieces of liner material are included in each kit.
b. Fully push the brass connector end of the gun and
cable into connector receptacle on the outgoing
side of the feeder wire drive. Tighten the hand
screw to clamp down on the connector.
c. Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger
circuit into the mating socket on the gun cable
connector handle.
d. Slide the free end of the flexible hose (mounted to the
gun in K466-4 Installation Section) onto the gas fitting
on the Hobart wire feeder. Move the corresponding
tubing clamp down near the end of the tube to
assure a good gas seal.

Connection to L-Tec Adapted Feeders
Gun cable assemblies which were assembled with a
K466-5 Connector Kit will connect easily to an L-
Tec feeder equipped with an L-Tec feeder connector
assembly. L-Tec feeders require this connector
assembly (similar to a Tweco
with a gun and cable.
a. Check that the adapter and feeder outgoing guide,
as well as the drive roll, are appropriate for the
electrode size being used.
b. Fully push the brass connector end of the gun
cable into the brass adapter on the outgoing side of
the feeder wire drive. Secure the cable using the
hand screw, set screw or pin.
c. Insert the control cable plug from the feeder trigger
circuit into the mating socket on the gun cable con-
nector handle. For machines with a twist-lock trig-
ger lead receptacle, if the L-Tec gun control cable
does not easily connect with the socket, the gun
control cable that came with the K466-5 kit can be
used. To do this, cut off the gun control leads as
close to the forked terminals as possible and skin
back the leads 7/16 inch (11 mm). Remove the
twist-lock plug from the L-Tec control cable and
connect it to the K466-5 cable Make sure the outer
jacket of the connector is caught within the plug's
strain relief.
