Product Name: HP Adapter (Part No. 400008-8)

Description:
This component is a high-pressure (HP) adapter fitting for 60K (60,000 PSI / approximately 4,137 bar) waterjet cutting systems. It is a precision-machined stainless steel connector used to join or adapt high-pressure fluid lines and components within the intensifier pump assembly. Adapters such as this are critical for creating leak-free, metal-to-metal seal connections in the ultra-high pressure water circuit.

Applications:

• Connecting high-pressure tubing to on/off valves, cutting heads, or manifold blocks.

• Adapting between different thread types or port sizes in the high-pressure system.

• Providing a secure, high-pressure seal for fluid passage in the pump wet end.

Features:

• High-Strength Construction: Manufactured from stainless steel or high-grade alloy to withstand extreme pressure and cyclic stress.

• Precision Sealing Surfaces: Features a machined cone seat (typically 60 degrees) to ensure a metal-to-metal seal for leak-free operation.

• Corrosion Resistance: Durable material resists pitting and galling in harsh waterjet environments.

• Reusable: With proper care and lubrication, this adapter can be reused across multiple maintenance cycles.

Maintenance:

Installation Best Practices:

• Thread Preparation: Before installation, apply a thin, even layer of high-pressure anti-seize compound (e.g., Silver Grade or Blue Goop) to the threads to prevent galling.

• Cone Surface: Keep the cone sealing surface clean and free of debris. Do not apply lubricant to the cone itself.

• Torque Compliance: Tighten the fitting to the torque value specified in the equipment service manual using a torque wrench. Use two wrenches (one to hold the adapter) to avoid twisting stress.

Inspection & Replacement:

• Visual Check: Before assembly, inspect the adapter body, threads, and cone seat for nicks, cracks, galling, or corrosion. Damaged components must be replaced to prevent dangerous high-pressure leaks.

• Full Depressurization (Critical): Always fully depressurize the waterjet system (high-pressure water, hydraulic system, and air supply) and follow lockout/tagout procedures before installing, removing, or servicing the adapter.
