430-128564 - Torch Main Body Replacement Kit for T60/T80/RT80 Plasma Torches

Revitalize Your Plasma Torch Performance

The Hypertherm 128564 Torch Kit is an essential maintenance component for owners of the Powermax 1000, 1250, and 1650 plasma cutting systems. Over time, the internal components of a plasma torch—specifically the main body and bonnet—can suffer from thermal stress, thread wear, and internal arcing. This genuine OEM kit provides a complete solution to rebuild the core of your T60, T80, or RT80 torch, restoring it to factory specifications without the need to purchase an entirely new torch lead assembly.

Precision Engineering and Durability

Manufactured to Hypertherm's exacting standards, the main body included in this kit is crafted from high-quality brass. This material choice is critical for maintaining excellent electrical conductivity and managing the intense heat generated during plasma cutting. The precision-machined threads ensure that your consumables (electrodes, nozzles, and shields) seat perfectly, which is vital for maintaining gas pressure and arc focus. A compromised torch body can lead to poor cut quality, premature consumable wear, and even safety hazards, making this replacement kit a smart investment for professional fabricators.

Comprehensive Repair Solution

This kit is not just a single part; it is a comprehensive repair package. It typically includes the brass torch body, the bonnet, and necessary O-rings. The bonnet serves as the outer retaining shell that protects the internal connections and ensures the swirl ring and nozzle are held securely in place. By replacing both the body and the bonnet simultaneously, you eliminate potential leak points and ensure that the gas flow dynamics within the torch head are optimized for clean, dross-free cuts.

Installation and Compatibility

Designed for straightforward installation, the 128564 kit fits the standard hand and machine torches found on older generation Powermax systems. Whether you are operating a T60 hand torch on a Powermax 1000 or a T80 machine torch on a Powermax 1650, this kit provides the correct geometry and electrical connections. Regular inspection of your torch body during consumable changes can help you identify when a replacement is needed—look for signs of pitting, burnt insulation, or cross-threaded consumable mounts.
