Connecting
48-1 / 48-2 cooling tubing connections
Water enters at the laser’s rear plate through the lower side-mounted 1/4 inch diameter cooling tubes and
exits through the top-mounted cooling tubes. Both circuits must be used in parallel to maintain thermal
balance. The two right angle connections are installed on the front plate. The cooling kit also includes
quantities of both straight and elbow fittings; you can order other compatible fittings from your local
fitting supply house. All fittings are quick-disconnect types.
To connect cooling tubing to your 48-1 or 48-2 water-cooled laser, refer to Figure 1-3 and perform the
following steps:
Figure 1-3 48-1 / 48-2 cooling connections
1
Connect the Water Intake manifold to both of the laser’s lower coolant tubes on the rear plate.
2
Connect the Water Intake fitting to your coolant source.
3
Connect the Water Outlet manifold to both of the laser’s upper coolant tubes on the rear plate.
4
Connect the Water Outlet fitting to your coolant return or drain.
5
On the front plate, connect one right angle connection between one of the lower coolant tubes and
its corresponding upper coolant tube. Repeat this step on the other set of lower/upper tubes.
