INSTALLATION OF WATER COOLED
ACCESSORIES
After following the installation instructions above, the
COOL ARC
®
55 S is ready for connection to a water-
cooled accessory.
WATER COOLED TIG TORCH AND MIG GUN
Follow Figure A.3 when using the COOL ARC
®
55 S
with water-cooled TIG torches. Follow Figure A.5
when using the COOL ARC
®
55 S with water-cooled
MIG gun. Consult the manufacturer's instruction man-
ual when using the COOL ARC
®
55 S with other
water-cooled TIG and MIG accessories.
CONNECTION TO WIRE FEEDERS
Follow Figure A.4 when using the COOL ARC
®
55 S
in conjunction with a wire feeder. The feeder will need
to have pass-through water hoses installed in order to
correctly function with the COOL ARC
®
55 S, since
the cooler requires continuous flow. DO NOT USE A
WATER SOLENOID VALVE with the COOL ARC
®
55
S. Water pass-through connection kits are available
for wire feeders. Refer to product literature or the wire
feeder's instructions manual for kit availability and fur-
ther connection details. It is not required to run the
water lines through the wire feeder, but is does pro-
vide a very neat MIG gun connection. If pass-through
water hoses are unavailable, connect the MIG gun as
shown in Figure A.5.
DO NOT USE A WATER SOLENOID VALVE with
the COOL ARC
®
55 S. When a solenoid valve clos-
es, the pump would dead-head, causing the pump
to heat up excessively leading to premature failure
of the pump.
K529-10 POWER INPUT CABLE WITH WATER
AND GAS HOSES
This cable assembly includes a (1) power cable, (1)
control cable, (1) gas hose and (2) water hoses to
connect a power source to a wire feeder. The cable
length is 10'. 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 feeder to a
COOL ARC
®
55 S. Refer to Figure A.6 for an illustra-
tion of this connection.
