13 TO 14 LB INNERSHIELD COILS

This assembly includes the same smaller frame as used in the K377 and the fully enclosed canister system for dereeling of the 14 lb coil. This system has a fixed brake for the 14 lb coil. See Attaching the Wire Reel Stand Procedure at the end of this section for installation procedures.

K435 SPINDLE ADAPTER FOR

14 LB COILS

Permits 14 lb (6 kg) Innershield coils to be mounted on 2 in. (51 mm) O.D. spindles. For K377 and K445, or K303 and K376 with optional K162H adapter.

K438 50 TO 60 LB READI-REEL ADAPTER

Adapts Lincoln Readi-Reel coils of 50 to 60 lb (22.7 to

27.7kg) to a 2 in. (51 mm) spindle. (Included with K445.)
