120980 - Hypertherm 120980 Extended Nozzle 80A (5-Pack) for Powermax 1250/1650

Hypertherm 120980 Extended Nozzle (80A) Overview

The Hypertherm 120980 Extended Nozzle is a critical consumable designed for high-performance plasma cutting operations. Engineered specifically for use with the Powermax 1250 and Powermax 1650 plasma systems, this nozzle is rated for 80 Amps of current. It is primarily compatible with the T80M machine torch, although it can be utilized in specific hand torch configurations where extended reach is required. As a genuine Hypertherm OEM part, it guarantees the tightest tolerances and material quality, ensuring that your plasma system operates at peak efficiency.

This nozzle features an "extended" form factor. Extended consumables are essential when the operator or the machine requires better visibility of the arc or needs to reach into confined spaces that standard nozzles cannot access. The unshielded design allows for a more focused approach in specific cutting scenarios, although care should be taken to maintain proper standoff distances to prevent premature wear. The nozzle constricts the plasma arc to focus the energy density, resulting in clean, precise cuts on conductive metals.

Supplied in a pack of five, the 120980 nozzle ensures that fabrication shops and industrial facilities have the necessary inventory to maintain continuous operations. Using genuine Hypertherm consumables helps prevent damage to the torch head and extends the life of other consumable stack components, such as the electrode and swirl ring. Whether used in automated cutting tables or specialized manual applications, this 80A nozzle delivers the reliability professionals expect from the Hypertherm brand.

Technical Specifications

The 120980 is manufactured from high-grade copper alloys to withstand the intense heat of the plasma arc while maintaining excellent electrical conductivity. It is designed to work in conjunction with the corresponding electrode and swirl ring to shape the plasma gas flow. Proper installation and regular inspection of the nozzle orifice for out-of-round wear are recommended to maintain cut quality and angularity.
