Product Name: Coning, Threading, and Bending Kit for High-Pressure Tubing (Part No. 302025-1)

Description:
This component is a comprehensive tool kit for preparing and shaping high-pressure (HP) tubing used in waterjet cutting systems . It is designed to perform three critical tubing preparation operations: coning (machining a precision conical seat on the tube end for high-pressure sealing), threading (cutting threads onto the tube to accept the retaining nut), and bending (forming the tube to a specific radius) . This kit enables operators to cut, prepare, and custom-fit high-pressure stainless steel lines on-site, which is essential for maintenance, repair, or complete system overhauls . It is rated for preparation of tubing used in systems operating up to 60,000 PSI (approximately 4,137 bar) .

Applications:

• Used for on-site custom fabrication of high-pressure tubing for waterjet cutting machines

• Replaces damaged or worn sections of high-pressure lines without needing pre-made replacement parts

• Essential for creating custom-length high-pressure hoses for manifolds, pumps, and cutting heads 

• Suitable for systems from major waterjet brands such as KMT, FLOW, BFT, and WSI 

• Capable of handling common tubing sizes (1/4", 3/8", 9/16") used in 60K/94K systems 

Features:

• Three-Function Capability: Performs all necessary coning, threading, and bending operations for a complete high-pressure tube assembly .

• Precision Coning Tool: Includes a specific tool and sharp, replaceable blades to form the precise 60-degree cone seat required for a leak-free, metal-to-metal seal .

• Threading Tool and Dies: Contains the threading die and guide to cut accurate threads on the tube that match the high-pressure fitting's gland nut .

• Tube Bender: Includes a lever-style bender with guides to create smooth, kink-free bends at specified radii, usually for 1/4" and 3/8" tubing .

• Comprehensive Accessories: Often includes essential support items such as a tube vice for holding the tube steady during work, deburring tools to clean the inner diameter (ID), and specialized cutting oil .

• OEM Compatibility: Serves as a direct replacement or equivalent to kits from major OEMs, with cross-reference numbers including 302025-1, 301044-x, 301043-x, and other industry standards .

Maintenance:

Tool Maintenance & Care:

• Cleanliness: After each use, thoroughly clean all tools (dies, blades, bender) of metal shavings, cutting oil, and debris to prevent rust and maintain precision.

• Blade Sharpness: Regularly inspect the coning blades and threading dies. Dull cutting edges will produce poor-quality finishes and increase the risk of damaging the high-pressure tube .

• Lubrication: Always use the recommended sulfur-based cutting oil during the coning and threading process. This is critical to prevent the tools from galling and to ensure a smooth, clean finish .

Operational & Safety Guidelines:

• Secure the Tube: Always use a proper tube vice (like the P/N 05108782 for 1/4" tubing) to hold the work piece rigidly. This is essential for accurate work and operator safety .

• Deburring is Mandatory: After cutting the tube to length, always use the deburring tool to clean the inner diameter (ID). Sharp edges inside the tube can create turbulence, cavitation, and metal fragments that will damage downstream components like the check valves and orifice.

• Anti-Seize on Threads: Apply "Blue Goop" anti-galling lubricant (P/N 400001-1) to the threads and cone seat before final assembly to prevent the stainless steel threads from seizing under high pressure .

• Bend Radius Compliance: Do not exceed the minimum bend radius specified for the tubing size (refer to manufacturer charts), as sharp bends can stress the metal and lead to premature failure
