Product ID: 49864309 – High-Pressure Adapter (9/16" Male x 1/4" Female)

Description:
This component is a high-pressure reducing adapter designed to connect different sizes of ultra-high pressure (UHP) waterjet plumbing. Specifically, it converts a 9/16 inch male high-pressure (HP) connection to a 1/4 inch female HP connection. This adapter is a precision-machined stainless steel fitting that allows a standard 1/4 inch high-pressure hose or component to be directly connected to a 9/16 inch outlet or manifold port.

This particular adapter is rated for 60,000 PSI (approximately 4,137 bar) continuous operation. It is a standard hardware component used in KMT (KMT Waterjet Systems) high-pressure plumbing configurations. Alternative or cross-reference part numbers include: FT10079580, 10079580, 5000073, CN9HM4HF60, and 13162-60-4F9M .

Applications:

• Used to adapt a 1/4 inch high-pressure component (such as a hose, swivel, or cutting head inlet) to a 9/16 inch port on a manifold, intensifier outlet, or dump valve.

• Provides flexibility in plumbing configurations when mixing components with different port sizes.

• Suitable for ultra-high pressure waterjet systems operating at 60,000 PSI (approximately 4,137 bar).

Features:

• High-Strength Stainless Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel to resist corrosion and withstand extreme pressure cycling.

• 60,000 PSI Pressure Rating: Engineered for continuous operation at ultra-high pressure (4,137 bar) .

• Precision-Machined Threads: Features a 9/16 inch male high-pressure thread on one end and a 1/4 inch female high-pressure thread on the other, ensuring leak-free connections.

• Direct Replacement: Designed as a direct OEM-equivalent replacement for standard waterjet adapter components .

• Lightweight: The component has a light weight, approximately 0.2 kg (0.43 lbs) .

• Compact Design: Allows for easy integration into tight plumbing assemblies.

Maintenance:

• Inspection: During system maintenance, inspect the adapter for signs of thread damage, galling, corrosion, or cracking. Pay particular attention to the cone sealing surfaces on both ends.

• Thread Care: The 9/16 inch and 1/4 inch high-pressure threads require careful handling. Do not cross-thread or overtighten.

• Cone Seal Surface: The adapter relies on a metal-to-metal cone seal. Inspect the male cone for nicks, scratches, or deformation. A damaged cone will cause high-pressure leaks.

• Full Depressurization: Always fully depressurize the waterjet system and follow lockout/tagout procedures before installing or removing the adapter.

• Torque Compliance: Tighten the adapter to the specific torque value listed in the equipment service manual. Over-tightening can damage threads or the cone seal; under-tightening will cause high-pressure leaks.

• Thread Lubrication: Apply a thin layer of manufacturer-recommended high-pressure thread lubricant or anti-seize compound to the threads during reassembly to prevent galling and ensure accurate torque application.

• Replacement Criteria: Replace the adapter if threads are damaged, if the cone sealing surface is scored or deformed, or if cracks are detected. Do not attempt to repair a damaged adapter.
