Description
Broco, Inc. the world leader in underwater cutting and welding systems, introduces the next generation underwater cutting torch. This new torch features 21 design improvements, including the removal of all rubber from direct oxygen pathway, a PTFE lined fiberglass reinforced coupler hose, improved flash arrestor with higher oxygen flow rate and better flash back protection, non-return valve to prevent back flow, and improved collet and collet washer design.
What's the difference between the BR-22 and the BR-22 PLUS?
The BR-22 PLUS has been built on the framework of the BR-22, improving elements of its design. With 21 design enhancements, the BR-22 PLUS stands out for its reliability and performance. Improvements include the elimination of all rubber from the direct oxygen pathway, a PTFE-lined, fiberglass-reinforced coupler hose, an enhanced flash arrestor for higher oxygen flow and better flashback protection, a non-return valve to prevent backflow, and an upgraded collet and collet washer design. The use of Acme threads prevents binding from mud or debris, ensuring quick and reliable rod insertion and retention. Additionally, interchangeable collets allow for the use of 3/8" and 1/4" diameter cutting rods.
The Broco BR-22 Plus Cutting Torch Features 21 new design improvements including:
Improved Grip: Redesigned collet provides tighter hold on the cutting rod.
Extended Life: Redesigned collet washer removes rubber from the oxygen stream and extends washer life.
Isolation: Ceramic washer provides noncombustible electrical isolation.
Reinforced: PTFE lined fiberglass reinforced hose withstands extremely high operating temperatures and is combustion resistant.
Internal Gasket: The internal gasket reduces electrolysis insulates the diver hand from electrical current and reduces potential for gas pockets in the torch.
Increase Oxygen: Sintered element slag arrestor withstands more heat and sparks and increases oxygen flow rate.
Control Flow: Non-return valve stops the flow of hot gases in the event of a flash back.
Manual: Valve lever and valve stem have been redesigned to allow manual return should the valve stem get stuck.
Meter Flow: Redesigned valve to better meter flow.
