Torch Gas Connections

Perform the following steps to connect the torch gas hoses to the manual gas console, torch base, and manifold assemblies. See figure 8.

Note: When making hose connections, only tighten the brass fittings enough to make gas seals. The fittings are subject to damage if over tightened.

7.5 Foot Shield Gas Hose 20

1. Route one end of the 7.5 foot (2.3 m) shield gas hose through the torch handle and connect to the shield gas fitting on the torch base.

2. Connect the other end of the 7.5 foot (2.3 m) shield gas hose to the shield gas outlet on the 5-gang manifold.

17 Inch Plasma Gas Hose

21

1. Route one end of the 17 inch (432 mm) plasma gas hose through the torch handle and connect to the plasma gas fitting on the torch base.

2. Thread the torch handle onto the torch base, being careful not to twist the torch leads and gas hoses when tightening the torch handle.

3. Tighten the base to the handle using a pin style adjustable spanner wrench

(fits 2" diameter with ¼" diameter pin).

4. Attach the 2-gang manifold assembly to the torch handle. The top of the manifold bracket should be flush with the top of the torch handle.

5. Connect the other end of the 14 inch (432 mm) plasma gas hose to the plasma gas outlet on the 2-gang manifold.

6. Mount the torch handle/base/manifold to the positioner. Note the alignment indicators on the torch base (slot) and torch head (circle). These aid in aligning the quick-disconnect torch base and head and should be oriented so they are clearly visible when the operator is changing heads.

6 Foot Preflow/Postflow/Marking Gas Hose 22

1. Connect one end of the 6 foot (1.8 m) preflow/postflow/marking gas hose to the preflow/postflow/marking outlet on the 5-gang manifold.

2. Connect the other end of the 6 foot (1.8 m) preflow/postflow/marking gas hose to the preflow/postflow/marking inlet on the 2-gang manifold.

Marking Gas Hose

23

1. Connect one end of the marking shield gas hose to the marking shield outlet on the rear of the MGC.

2. Connect the other end of the marking shield gas hose to the marking shield inlet on the 5-gang manifold.
