Connecting Hoses and Applicators
WARNING! Risk of fire or equipment damage. Before connecting hoses and
applicators to the melter, confirm that the power required by each
hose/applicator pair and each hose/applicator module, does not exceed the
maximum wattages specified in Appendix A, Table A‐2, Maximum Allowable
Wattages.
To connect hoses
See Figures 3‐9 through 3‐12 to properly connect the hose hydraulic fittings
based on the manifold configuration. If hoses are not connected properly, the
melter will not operate correctly.
If applicable, connect a return hose (see Figure 3‐8). To do this, remove the
O‐ring fitting from the return hose port and install the hose connector fitting
from the ship‐with kit. The return hose port is located on the rear of the melter
at the top of the hopper.
See Figure 3‐13 to connect hose cordsets.
Observe the following guidelines:
S For information about choosing the correct Nordson hot melt hose for
your manufacturing process, refer to the latest edition of Nordson's hot
melt dispensing equipment Replacement Parts Catalog or contact your
Nordson representative.
S Refer to the user's guide provided with each Nordson hose. The guide
contains important information about routing and installing the hose.
S Save all of the port plugs removed from the manifold. A port plug will
need to be reinstalled into the manifold if a hose is later removed.
