Overview
Ships as a 2-piece set, this chain is a direct replacement for Homelite UT43123 / UT43122 models. Chains wear down over time from regular use, and a fresh chain cuts faster and safer than a dull one.
Key specifications
- Bar length: 16”
- Quantity: 2 chains per pack
Compatibility
Fits Homelite UT43123 / UT43122 as a direct replacement for the factory chain. Always confirm your saw’s model number and bar length before ordering to ensure proper fit.
Installation notes
Turn off the chainsaw and remove its power source before servicing. Unscrew the bar cover, back off the tensioner, and pull the old chain free. Route the fresh chain around the clutch drum and into the bar groove, making sure the drive links seat properly. Tighten the tensioner until the chain snaps snugly against the underside of the bar but still slides freely, then run the saw briefly at idle to confirm smooth tracking.
Common questions
Q: Will this 2-pack of 16” chains fit my Homelite UT43123 electric chainsaw, or do I need to match anything besides the bar length?
Yes, this chain set is made for the Homelite UT43123 and UT43122 with a 16-inch bar, so it is the correct replacement for those models. It’s still a good idea to confirm your saw is using the factory 16” bar, since bar length and model match both matter for proper fit.
Q: I have a Homelite UT43122 with the original 16” bar—do I need to do anything special when installing one of these new chains?
Make sure the saw is unplugged first, then install the chain with the cutting edges facing forward on the top side of the bar. After mounting it, adjust the chain tension so it sits snugly against the bar but can still be pulled around by hand, and recheck tension again after the first few minutes of use.
Q: How often should I sharpen or replace these 16” chains on my Homelite UT43123?
Sharpen the chain when it starts producing fine sawdust instead of chips, pulls to one side, or requires extra pressure to cut. Replace the chain if the cutters are worn down, the chain stretches beyond proper adjustment, or there is visible damage such as cracked or broken links.
