The Hypertherm 220816 85A Nozzle is a critical consumable component designed for the Duramax torch series, widely used with Powermax65, Powermax85, and Powermax105 plasma cutting systems. Engineered to exacting standards, this nozzle is responsible for constricting the plasma arc to a specific diameter, focusing the energy density required to cut through conductive metals with speed and precision. At 85 Amps, the thermal dynamics within the torch head are intense; using genuine Hypertherm consumables ensures that the gas flow dynamics are optimized to protect the nozzle bore from rapid erosion.
One of the defining features of the Hypertherm 220816 is its ability to maintain a stable arc even under heavy duty cycles. The nozzle works in conjunction with the electrode and swirl ring to create a vortex of plasma gas. A key aspect of Hypertherm's design is the creation of a thin boundary layer of cool gas that separates the plasma arc from the copper nozzle itself. This insulation effect is vital for preventing the arc from contacting the nozzle directly—a phenomenon known as double arcing—which can instantly ruin the orifice and degrade cut quality. By maintaining this boundary layer, the 220816 nozzle delivers dramatically longer consumable life compared to generic alternatives, reducing downtime and operational costs in industrial environments.
This 5-pack of nozzles is essential for maintenance and repair operations (MRO) where consistent throughput is required. Whether utilized in automated X-Y cutting tables, track cutters, or handheld applications, the 220816 provides the reliability needed for clean, dross-free cuts on mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. It is compatible with both air and nitrogen gas sources, offering flexibility depending on the material and finish requirements. Regular inspection of the nozzle orifice is recommended; if the hole becomes out-of-round or gouged, immediate replacement is necessary to prevent damage to the torch head and to ensure the structural integrity of the cut.
