Product Overview

This consumable kit that ensures the structural integrity and alignment of the electrode and nozzle within the torch of your Hypertherm XPR300 plasma system. 

•   FM.420200: This is the Shield Retaining Cap. It is the outermost component that threads onto the torch body, securing the shield (Swirl Ring) in place.

•   FM.420365: This is the Nozzle Retaining Cap. It is installed inside the Shield Retaining Cap and is responsible for holding the nozzle securely against the electrode.

Key Features & Benefits

•   Precision Machining: Manufactured to Hypertherm's exacting tolerances for a perfect fit and reliable performance.

•   Optimal Gas Flow: Designed to maintain the precise gas dynamics required for clean, dross-free cuts and maximum bevel control.

•   Heat Management: Made from specially formulated, high-temperature copper alloy to effectively dissipate heat and extend the life of internal consumables.

•   Secure Alignment: Locks the nozzle and electrode in perfect concentric alignment, which is critical for achieving a stable arc and square cuts.

•   Durability: Engineered to withstand the extreme thermal and mechanical stresses of high-definition plasma cutting.

These retaining caps are compatible with the following official Hypertherm consumable kits for the XPR300:

•   220990 XPR300 100/200 Amp Shielded Consumable Kit

•   220991 XPR300 100/200 Amp Unshielded Consumable Kit

Installation & Usage Notes

1.  Safety First: Always ensure the plasma system is powered down and disconnected from its air and power sources before replacing consumables.

2.  Inspection: Regularly inspect retaining caps for signs of excessive wear, thread damage, or oxygen scoring. Replace them if any defects are found.

3.  Proper Order: When assembling the torch, the Nozzle Retaining Cap (FM.420365) is installed first into the Shield Retaining Cap (FM.420200), followed by the nozzle and other components.

4.  Torque: Do not over-tighten. Hand-tighten plus a quarter turn with the appropriate wrench is typically sufficient. Over-tightening can damage threads and distort components.

5.  Synchronized Replacement: It is recommended to replace retaining caps as part of a full consumable set change (including electrode, nozzle, and shield) for best performance.
