Hobart, Tri-Mark, Corex and McKay brands. A typical process class lasts three days, includes classroom technical training and is supplemented by lab exercises that simulate job site applica- tions. 422/421 Worldwide Hose

Parker Hannifin has introduced its 422/421 Worldwide hose, a one-wire hose manufactured to strict international quality specifications (ISO 1436-1 Type 1SN). The 422/421 offers high- er working pressures than the existing Parker 421 hose, intended for improved reliability and expanded applications. Additional features of

HandyPlasma 380 is a plasma cutting package with the power to cut 9.5 mm and sever 12.7 mm.

This is contained in a compact portable design, weighing at 22 lbs. A compact, simple torch with ESAB's patented XT nozzle offers access to tight spaces and good visibility. Other fea- tures include a template following fea- ture, side-mounted pressure gauge, externally mounted and adjustable air regulator/filter, and automatic air purge when the unit powers on. The variable output feature allows the operator to turn down the output for precise cutting on thin materials. This 208/230 VAC single phase machine comes complete with torch, spare parts, air filter/regula- tor, input power cord with plug, and work cable with clamp.

Pulsating/Jetting Valve

CAT PUMPS introduced the MAG-

JET Valve for jet- ting. The MAG-

JET uses a SS magnetic valve and a strong cor- rosion resistant magnet to hold one inlet valve open, creating a strong pulse-jetting action to power nozzles through clogs. A push-in the MAG-Jet handle activates jetting action. When the MAG-JET holds the valve open, it reduces the pump flow by one-third, causing the desired pulsations. The

MAG-JET mounts into the inlet valve plug making field-retro-fit easy on many

CAT PUMPS models including the direct-drive 66DX, high-performance gearbox and larger truck and trailer mount pumps. The MAG-JET works with performances ranging from 3-25

GPM, 1,000-4,000 PSI.
