Inlet Body 303329
Product Name: Inlet Body / MAXJET 5 Tilt-A-Jet Inlet Nozzle Body / Part No. 303329
Description:
This component is an inlet body, specifically a MAXJET 5 Tilt-A-Jet inlet nozzle body, designed for the cutting head assembly of a waterjet cutting system . It is a precision-machined stainless steel component that serves as the high-pressure water inlet interface for the cutting head. This part is designed for use on OMAX and Maxiem cantilever-style waterjet machines, and is also used on the Optimax Tilt-A-Jet machine . The inlet body directs ultra-high-pressure water from the supply line into the cutting head assembly while maintaining proper alignment with the orifice and mixing tube.
This component is rated for continuous operation at 60,000 PSI (approximately 4,137 bar) and is constructed from high-strength stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability under extreme pressure cycling .
Applications:
Serves as the high-pressure water inlet port for the MAXJET 5 cutting head assembly
Used on OMAX and Maxiem cantilever-style waterjet cutting machines
Installed as part of the Tilt-A-Jet cutting head system for bevel cutting applications
Directs high-pressure water from the supply line into the cutting head while maintaining alignment with the orifice assembly
Suitable for ultra-high pressure waterjet systems operating at 60,000 PSI (approximately 4,137 bar)
Features:
Precision-Machined Stainless Steel Construction: Provides excellent corrosion resistance and structural integrity under extreme pressure cycling
Integrated Inlet Port: Features a precision-machined high-pressure inlet port for secure connection to the water supply line
MAXJET 5 Compatibility: Specifically designed for the MAXJET 5 cutting head series and Tilt-A-Jet systems
OEM Specification: Manufactured to meet original equipment manufacturer standards for fit and performance
60,000 PSI Rating: Engineered for continuous operation at 4,137 bar
Cross-Reference Compatibility: Interchangeable with OEM part number 1-13124 and AccuStream equivalents
Maintenance:
Failure Diagnosis:
External Water Leakage: Visible water weeping from the inlet body connections indicates worn seals or damaged threads
Pressure Drop: Inability to maintain rated cutting pressure may indicate internal erosion or blockages in the inlet body passage
Thread Damage: Stripped, galling, or cross-threaded connections prevent proper sealing and require replacement
Visible Cracks or Deformation: Any cracking or distortion of the stainless steel body warrants immediate replacement
Inspection and Replacement Procedures:
Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the inlet body for signs of thread wear, galling, corrosion, or surface damage
Thread Care: Before reassembly, carefully inspect all threaded connections for wear, corrosion, or damage. Clean threads thoroughly
Seal Replacement: Always replace all O-rings and high-pressure seals associated with the inlet body connections whenever the component is removed
Torque Compliance: Tighten the inlet body connections to the specific torque values listed in the equipment service manual
Thread Lubrication: Apply a thin layer of high-pressure thread lubricant or anti-seize compound to threads during reassembly to prevent galling and ensure accurate torque application
Full Depressurization: Always fully depressurize the waterjet system and follow lockout/tagout procedures before removing or servicing the inlet body
Replace if Damaged: Replace the inlet body immediately if threads are damaged, cracks are visible, or deformation is detected
Storage: Store spare inlet bodies in a clean, dry environment to prevent contamination of precision-machined surfaces
