TUBE TO TUBESHEET WELD HEAD  

OPERATION MANUAL 

 
 
10.0 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE 
 

If the weld head is to be stored for more than 1 month, the residual water or 

         water/coolant mix should be purged from the hoses and weld head to 
         minimize internal corrosion. This is also important if the weld head is to be 
         stored where the temperature might fall below freezing, as trapped water 
         can freeze and damage weld head and/or hose internals. 

      
Although you may not be storing the adapter and /or extension cables, 

         leave them hooked up to the weld head when purging out the water.  

 

 
10.1  To drain the coolant from the weld head and cables, use Arc 
         Machines, Inc. fitting part number 294-PB-06. Unplug the water 
         “supply” line from the cooling unit, (leaving the water “return” line 
         connected to the cooling unit) and attach the (female) fitting  
         (294-PB-06) to the disconnected “supply” line. See Fig. 13. 
 

              

 

                                                        Fig. 13                                                         
 
 

10.2  Using a pressurized air source of maximum 20 PSI, (139 Kp)  

    (1.38 Bar) blow air into the fitting to force the water out of the 
    cables and weld head, and back into the cooling unit.  See fig. 13.
