120979 - Hypertherm 120979 Unshielded Deflector for T60/T80/T100 Torches

Hypertherm 120979 Deflector for T-Series Torches

The Hypertherm 120979 Deflector is a critical consumable component designed for the T-Series plasma torches, including the T60, T80, and T100 models. Engineered by Hypertherm to meet rigorous industrial standards, this deflector is specifically optimized for unshielded and FineCut applications. It serves as the front-end protection and gas-direction component for your plasma torch, ensuring that the arc is stabilized and the consumable stack is protected during operation. This part is essential for maintaining the high-performance output of Powermax1000, Powermax1250, and Powermax1650 plasma cutting systems.

When utilizing unshielded configurations, the 120979 deflector allows for improved visibility and accessibility in tight spaces compared to shielded setups. It is rated for use across a broad amperage spectrum, effectively handling currents from 40 Amps up to 100 Amps depending on the specific torch and machine setup. By using genuine Hypertherm OEM parts, operators ensure compatibility and safety, avoiding the performance degradation often associated with aftermarket copies. The precision manufacturing of this deflector contributes to cleaner cuts with less dross, reducing the need for post-cut grinding or finishing.

Installation is straightforward, threading directly onto the retaining cap of the T-series torches. Regular inspection and replacement of the deflector are recommended to prevent damage to the torch head and to maintain optimal gas flow dynamics. This component is part of Hypertherm's patented consumable technology, which is designed to deliver faster cut speeds and dramatically longer life, ultimately lowering the overall operating costs for fabrication shops and industrial maintenance teams.

Whether you are performing detailed FineCut work on thin gauge materials or general unshielded cutting on thicker plate, the 120979 deflector provides the reliability required for consistent production environments. It is a standard stock item for users of the legacy Powermax G3 series systems looking to maintain factory-spec performance.
