Hypertherm XPR460 - Regulator Requirements for Supply Gases

NOTICE
INCORRECT HOSES, CONNECTIONS, OR FITTINGS CAN CAUSE DAMAGE AND BAD
PERFORMANCE
Noncompliant hoses, hose connections, or hose fittings can crack or leak. Incorrect fittings can
cause malfunctions with the internal valves because contaminants can enter the valves through
damaged or loose fittings.
All hoses, hose connections, and hose fittings used for supply-gas plumbing must be designed
for use with the appropriate gas and pressure rating. NEVER connect a supply gas to a hose,
connection, or fitting that is not designed for that gas type or pressure. A replacement hose,
connection, or fitting must meet all applicable regulations and codes.
NOTICE
DIRTY, OILY AIR CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AIR FILTER BOWL
Some air compressors use synthetic lubricants that contain esters. Esters can damage the
polycarbonates in the air filter bowl.
Add additional gas filtration if necessary.
Regulator requirements for supply gases
NOTICE
LOW-QUALITY REGULATORS CAN REDUCE PERFORMANCE AND CUT QUALITY
Low-quality gas regulators do not provide consistent supply-gas pressure. They can reduce system
performance and decrease cut quality.
Do not use low-quality gas regulators.
