INSTALLATION AND DISASSEMBLY
16. Tighten the set screw on the Tweco
®
, Panasonic
®
, and
or Lincoln
®
rear connector plug. For Miller
®
style rear
connector plug, re-install the threaded connector plug
nipple. This connection should be wrench tight.
17. Re-insert the factory-supplied 5/32” T-handle allen
wrench into the hole for the “Conduit Set Screw” on the
front handle cap and rotate the set screw clockwise. The
set screw should be hand tight. Refer to Figure 3-5.

18. Trim the conduit extending from the front of the conductor
tube assembly by following the steps below:
Method “A” – Using a tape measure or scale, mark and
cut the conduit to the cut length noted in the
table below. Refer to Figure 3-6 — Method
“A”.
Method “B” – The diffusers have a machined groove
around the outer diameter. Position the
diffuser as shown in Figure 3-6 — Method
“B” and mark and cut the conduit.

19. After trimming to length, remove any obstructions from the end of the conduit radius.
20. Re-install the diffuser, tip, and nozzle onto the conductor tube assembly.
21. Loosen the fixture connection and insert the cartridge kit of the torch and conductor tube assembly into position. The
keystock located on the cartridge kit should be placed into the mating slot on the fixture until the sleeve bottoms against
the fixture plate. Re-tighten the connection to secure the assembly in place. Refer to Figure 3-7.

NOTE
For cable assemblies longer than 5ft. (1,52m), it
is recommended incorporating a spring-loaded
stabilizer bar/balancer to the robot work cell to
provide support to the center of the cable assembly.
This will eliminate both excessive drooping of the
cable assembly and any interference with the
fixtures and tooling in the work area.
22. Install the rear connector plug into the feeder.
23. If the torch being installed is a water-cooled QFW series,
a water supply providing not less than ¾ gallons/minute
(2.84 liters/minute) water flow, must be used during
operation. The water supply should be installed to run
when the power source is turned “on” if possible to avoid
any damage to the torch and cable assembly.
