Miller 330 a/bp, torch connection questions

admin

I realized the electrical subforum probably isn't the best place for this post (below). Moderator, please close the thread in that forum if possible. Thanks - Lee---------Hi all,I lucked into a deal on a Miller 330 a/bp, and am just now working out the connections. For now, I'm using a 17 size air cooled torch but a water cooled torch is on my wish list. I have a couple of questions about the torch setup- the torch has a separate dinse 25 connector (non gas-through) and a male threaded gas connection. I believe I can thread the gas connection directly to the solenoid on the machine, but how do I connect the dinse connector to the electrode stud on the front of the machine? I see power block adaptors are available, but none seem to come with a dinse socket - they all look to have female threaded ends.- the machine came with an older Miller recirculating cooler, but it also has a solenoid for connecting directly to tap water (and draining directly to a drain). Is there a benefit to one over the other?- if I were to connect to the tap, does it matter if the faucet and drain are a couple of feet higher than the welder? (The water connections come into my shop higher than would be ideal,so my sink had to be placed on a higher level). Or can the water pressure overcome that since it'll be a closed system from faucet to drain?Thanks in advanceLee
