Shield 220976 Plasma Cutting Torch Consumables 105-125A compatible parts for Hyperthem fit 220975 220971

1. Product Identification & Critical Correction

• Hypertherm Part Number: 220976

• Actual Name: Retaining Cap (also called Shield Cup or Retaining Cup)

• This is NOT a Shield. The description is fundamentally incorrect. Part number 220976 is the main threaded body that holds the internal consumables (electrode, nozzle, swirl ring) in place.

Primary Function: This part serves as the structural housing for the swirl ring and nozzle. It also provides the threads for the actual shield to attach to. It is a critical alignment component, not a wear part like a shield.

2. Key Specifications

• Amperage Rating: Designed for the higher-amperage consumable sets (e.g., 105A and 125A) for specific Hypertherm systems.

• Compatible Systems: This retaining cap is designed for Hypertherm Powermax85 and Powermax105 systems.

• It is a key component of the 105A/125A shielded consumable sets for these models.

• It is NOT compatible with the Powermax125 system, which uses a different retaining cap (e.g., 420156).

3. Clarification of Stated Compatibility ("fit 220975 220971")

This compatibility list is incorrect and mixes consumables from two different Hypertherm platforms.

1. With Part 220975:

• 220975 is a Swirl Ring for the Powermax85/105.

• This is CORRECT. Retaining Cap 220976 and Swirl Ring 220975 are designed to work together as part of the Powermax85/105 consumable system.

2. With Set 220971:

• 220971 is a Drag & Cut Consumable Set for the Powermax125.

• This is INCORRECT and a critical error.

• The retaining cap for set 220971 is part number 420156.

• Retaining Cap 220976 (for Powermax85/105) has different threads and dimensions and will not physically fit onto a Powermax125 torch.

3. With "105-125A" and "Hypertherm":

• The amperage rating is partially correct for the system it belongs to. For Powermax85/105 torches, this cap is used in 105A and 125A applications.

• The brand is correct, but the system is wrong if intended for a Powermax125.

4. Correct Consumable Sets & Compatibility for Retaining Cap 220976

For Powermax85 / Powermax105 systems, the Retaining Cap 220976 is used in the following sets:

• Shielded Consumable Set (105A): Part Number 220915

• Shielded Consumable Set (125A): Part Number 220925

These sets would typically include:

• Electrode (e.g., 220909 for 105A)

• Nozzle (e.g., 220908 for 105A)

• Swirl Ring (220975)

• Retaining Cap (220976)

• Shield Cup (220974)<-- This is the actual "Shield" that attaches to the retaining cap.

5. The Correct Shield for Your Stated Set (220971)

If you are looking for the Shield that works with the Powermax125 consumable set 220971, the correct part number is:

• Shield Part Number: 420172

• This is the drag shield (hand guide) that is included in set 220971. It screws onto the Powermax125 retaining cap, which is 420156.

6. Summary of the Confusion and Correct Identification

The original description creates a mix-up between two systems:

Conclusion:

• Part 220976 is a Retaining Cap for Powermax85/105, not a Shield.

• It is compatible with Swirl Ring 220975 (both for Powermax85/105).

• It is NOT compatible with any part of set 220971, which is for the Powermax125.

• The description contains a fundamental error in the part's function (calling it a shield) and its system compatibility (matching it with a Powermax125 set).
