Lincoln Electric IM10117 COOL ARC 55 WATER COOLER - Manual (Page 14)

C-1 ACCESSORIES C-1
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT (Field Installed)
K1536-1 Magnum Flow Sensor:
Protects valuable torches, guns and robotic welding
systems from damage when loss of coolant flow has
occurred for any reason such as a blocked or kinked
water line or a ruptured hose.
KP1529-1 Quick Connect Water Adapter:
Converts a male 5/8"-18 left hand hose fitting (CGA
Style) to a female quick connect fitting. The female
quick connect mates with the male quick connects on
water cooled MIG guns or hoses.
K1859-1 Water Cooler to Wire Feeder Hoses:
This kit includes two 25ʼ(7.6m) – 3/16 I.D. water hoses
with a 5/8" LH CGA style fitting on one end and a
male quick disconnect on the other. Most wire feeders
have female quick disconnects and this kit allows
direct hook up between the water cooler and the wire
feeder.
5/8"-18 Left Hand Male Hose Fitting Parts: (CGA Style)
Fittings that convert a standard 3/16" I.D. hose to a
5/8"-18 left hand male hose fitting. These male hose
fittings mate with the fittings on the back of the COOL
ARC
® 55.
Order the following:
(See Parts Lists for Itemʼs below)
(2) Connector Nuts
(2) Nipples for 3/16" I.D. Hose
(2) Hose Clamps
The connector and nipple listed fit tightly onto 5/32”
(4.0mm) to 3/16" (4.8mm) inner diameter hose, but if
clamped tightly to the hose, can fit up to a .25”
(6.4mm) inner diameter hose. These fittings are also
readily available from any industrial welding supplier.
K529-10 Power Input Cable with Water and Gas Hoses:
This cable assembly includes the following: (1) power
cable, (1) control cable, (1) gas hose and (2) water
hoses. The cable assembly connects a power source
to a wire feeder for water-cooled MIG applications.
The cable length is 10'(3.1m). The water hoses have
5/8"-18 left hand male hose fittings and the gas hose
has a 5/8"-18 right hand male hose fitting. The cable
and hose lengths are designed to connect a wire feed-
er to a COOL ARC
® 55 that is vertically mounted at
the rear of a power source on a dual cylinder under-
carriage. Refer to Figure A.6 for an illustration of this
connection.

KP504 TIG Hook Up Kit:
The Hook-Up Kit includes: (2) water hoses, (1) gas
hose, (2) water adapter fittings, male to male 5/8" LH
thread, (1) water hose coupler, female to female 5/8"
LH thread and (1) power cable adapter. Threads on all
hoses and fittings are CGA style.
DO NOT USE A WATER SOLENOID VALVE with
the COOL ARC
® 55. When a solenoid valve closes,
the pump would dead-head, causing the pump to
heat up excessively leading to premature failure of
the pump.
Coolant Hoses:
Coolant hoses are readily available from an industrial
welding supplier or in various MIG or TIG hook-up kits
provided by Lincoln Electric. Refer to Magnum acces-
sory literature sheets.
For lengths of coolant hoses over 25Ft(7.6m). and up
to 50Ft.(15.2m), 5/16 I.D. hose is recommended. 5/16
I.D. hose and accommodating fittings are available
from an industrial welding supplier.
