Pt-4 Torch Tip Re-Assembly - ESAB PT-24 Instruction Manual

SECTION 5
5.2 PT-24 Torch Tip Re-assembly
1. Electrode
Apply a thin film of silicone grease to the O-ring, just enough to produce a shiny surface. Thread electrode in place
and tighten snugly with tool provided. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
2. Nozzle & Swirl Baffle
Place swirl baffle into nozzle with the grooved end of the baffle going inside nozzle. When properly assembled,
the small spherical tip of nozzle makes a metal to metal coolant seal with the nozzle retainer. Apply a small amount
of Krytox (antiseizing compound) on the small diameter of the nozzle retainer as shown. This grease prevents pos-
sible galling/seizing between the nozzle and retainer. It also facilitates a watertight seal. Do not put Krytox on
nozzle.
3. Nozzle Retainer/Diffuser
Thread the nozzle retainer onto torch and hand tighten.
