If you have a VWI or OptiMix gas connect console, refer to Connect supply gases and
shield water to the gas connect console (VWI or OptiMix) on page 122.
CAUTION
INCORRECT SUPPLY-GAS CONNECTIONS CAN CAUSE BAD PERFORMANCE
Cutting system performance can be bad if a supply-gas hose is connected to the wrong port on a gas
connect console.
NEVER connect a supply gas to a hose, connection, or fitting that is not designed for that gas type or
pressure.
NOTICE
PTFE TAPE CAN CAUSE CLOGGED VALVES, REGULATORS, AND TORCHES
Never use PTFE tape on any joint preparation. Use only a liquid or paste thread sealant on male thread
ends.
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.
NOTICE
INCORRECT GAS PRESSURES CAN CAUSE BAD PERFORMANCE
Gas leaks or pressure and flow rates that are outside of recommended ranges can:
• Cause problems with system performance
• Result in bad cut quality
• Shorten the life of consumables
If the quality of the gas is bad or if the pressure setting is incorrect, it can decrease:
•Cut quality
• Cut speed
• Cut thickness capabilities
