Connecting Hoses and Applicators
DuraBlue melters use standard Nordson hoses and applicators and support
the connection of up to two hose/applicator pairs.
WARNING! Risk of fire or equipment damage! Before connecting hoses and
applicators to the melter, confirm that the power required by the hoses and
the applicators does not exceed the maximum wattages specified in
Appendix A, Calculating Melter Power Requirements.
To connect hoses
See Figure 3‐5.
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 Connect hoses to any of the hose ports provided on the manifold. The
melter is shipped with one hose fitting (capped) pre‐installed on the
manifold.
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 plugs that were removed from the hose ports. A plug will
need to be reinstalled into a hose port if a hose is later removed.
S Connect switched hand‐held applicator hoses or footswitches, to the
switch receptacles on the back of the melter.
NOTE: Only connect a switched hand‐held applicator or the optional
footswitch to the switch receptacle. The receptacle in not intended for
automatic control of the motor.
