D/F Water In Hoses, Gas Hoses, and Water Out & Power Cables

Overview

Typical modern torch setups utilize a unitized cable assembly with the gas, water, power and conduit combined into a single replaceable unit. When one cable goes bad the whole unit is replaced. This can be expensive. Also, this approach does not allow for a large enough inner power cable needed for necessary high amperage, and it is restricted in size by small passages for water, gas and wire. Water-cooling and gas coverage are both limited by the size restrictions.

D/F torches take an alternative approach to the setup. The torches use a separate gas hose, water-in hose, Water Out & Power Cable, and casing/conduit. When one cable goes bad it is simply replaced instead of attaching an entire new unitized cable assembly; a huge cost saver! This is also where the D/F Utility Station comes into play. The gas hose, water-in hose, and Water Out & Power Cable are interfaced with the customer’s existing lines via the Utility Station.
