Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if this fits my PowerMax system?
A: The 228958 is specifically for H65/H85 hand torches on PowerMax 65/85 systems manufactured after April 2012. Pre-2012 systems use different specifications.
Q: What’s the difference between hand torch and machine torch bodies?
A: Hand torch bodies like the 228958 are designed for portable, ergonomic operation, while machine torch bodies are built for stationary, automated cutting.
Q: Is this a complete replacement or just the body?
A: This is a main body replacement kit. You’ll need to transfer consumables and accessories from your existing torch or order them separately.
Q: How do I determine if my system is pre or post-April 2012?
A: Check your coupler size – post-April 2012 systems use 1/2″ couplers, while earlier systems use 3/8″ couplers.
Q: Can I upgrade from an older torch body to this model?
A: This replacement is designed for systems already using H65/H85 hand torches. Upgrading from different torch types may require additional components.
Q: What maintenance does a handheld torch body require?
