400008-2-Adapter-HP.1987.3-1
Product Name: High Pressure Adapter / HP Adapter (Part No. 400008-2)
Description:
This component is a high-pressure adapter specifically engineered for 60K (60,000 PSI) waterjet cutting systems. It functions as a precision connector designed to transition between different thread types or sizes within the ultra-high pressure fluid path. Typically manufactured from heat-treated stainless steel, it ensures a leak-free, metal-to-metal seal under extreme pressure cycling.
Applications:
Serves as a transition fitting to connect components with incompatible port sizes or thread standards (e.g., connecting a 9/16-18 UNF component to a 1/4" HP line).
Used as a directional adapter to reroute high-pressure water flow in tight manifold assemblies.
Functions as a depth adapter to properly position sealing cones or valves within deeper ports.
Suitable for waterjet intensifier pumps, check valves, and cutting head assemblies.
Features:
High-Strength Construction: Machined from solid stainless steel bar stock to withstand continuous operation at 60,000 PSI without deformation.
Precision Threading: Features precisely cut UNF or HP threads that meet OEM specifications for a perfect, secure fit.
Anti-Galling Compatibility: Designed to be used with high-pressure thread lubricants to prevent stainless steel thread seizing.
Corrosion Resistance: Passivated finish protects against rust and degradation from water and chemicals.
Maintenance:
Inspection: Before installation, inspect the adapter body, threads, and cone seat for nicks, cracks, or deformation. Damaged parts compromise the high-pressure seal and must be replaced.
Full Depressurization: Always fully depressurize the waterjet system and follow lockout/tagout procedures before installing, removing, or servicing the adapter.
Lubrication: Apply a thin layer of high-pressure anti-seize compound ("Silver Grade" or "Blue Goop") to the threads during installation to prevent galling.
Torque Compliance: Tighten the adapter to the specific torque value in the equipment service manual. Use two wrenches to counter-hold to prevent twisting stress on the adapter body.
Reusability: The adapter is a durable component and can be reused if threads and sealing surfaces remain undamaged. Replace if damaged.
