The Hypertherm Duramax HRT Upgrade Hand Torch is a retrofit torch designed for use with Powermax1000, 1250, and 1650 plasma cutting systems. It features a 7.6-meter (25-foot) lead and is engineered to provide reliable and efficient plasma cutting performance for professional fabricators and industrial users.

This torch utilizes the Easy Torch Removal (ETR) connection system, making installation and replacement straightforward by matching the original torch connection of your Powermax system. The proprietary fiber-reinforced handle offers five times greater impact resistance compared to standard designs, enhancing durability in demanding work environments. Additionally, the new spring strain-relief design improves bend reliability by a factor of ten, reducing wear and extending torch life.

Equipped with Spring Start electrode technology, this torch eliminates moving parts within the electrode, resulting in more consistent and reliable arc starting. The Hypertherm 228788 handheld retrofit torch is an ideal upgrade for maintaining optimal cutting performance and minimizing downtime in plasma cutting operations.
