Everlast Cooler and Weldcraft CS310

Thanks Kempy, I didn't realize I might have to trim back the rubber on the Dinse connector. I contacted arc-zone and Scott recommended the following:

"You should just get the CK Worldwide Dinse Plug (CK-SLWHAT-35), that one has a 6' side hose for the water return." and then he said that I'd need two of the QT water connectors and one of the QT gas connectors. I'll probably also get one of the extensions for the cold water line from Everlast.

I think that should do it . The support on this forum is AWESOME, every time I have an issue or question you guys are always so willing to help out. Thanks again for everyone's support helping out a newbie .

CK has that connector already with at least the gas Everlast QC fitting installed. I believe you used to just add QD to the part number, but a quick call to CK will confirm what the exact part number is. They might even be able to set you up with the QC water fittings pre-installed as well.

I should probably start a new thread for this but does anyone know why coolant would be shooting out of the tig torch? I got the cooler today and hooked up the water cooled torch to make sure everything works, and coolant is just streaming out of the end of the torch. I have it connected like it says in the manual. Blue hose to blue fitting, hose coming out of the Dinse connector to the red fitting and the remaining hose is connected to the gas on the 325EXT. When I turn on the cooler, it shoots water out of the tig torch. Any ideas?

Sounds like you have mixed up the gas and water lines. Be sure to flush everything out with clean water then run plenty of dry air through to dry your hoses or you will have no end of contamination problems.

I don't think that you read the manually fully about the connections. It shows the correct diagram and refers to the cooler connector colors and where to put the lines. and mentions how to double check your connections. The arrows were meant to show which onces they go to. Some of the earlier coolers had different front end connections so that's the reason the fittings aren't shown. And it also mentions that "some" torches are color coded this way, and mentions BOTH colors being there... ie...CK. That is why it gives several descriptions and how to double check. Was there no paper sticker on the gas line?

No paper sticker on the gas line, I got one blue hose and two black hoses. One black hose comes out of Dinse connector, which I connected to the "red" connector on the cooler. The blue hose I connected to the "blue" connector on the cooler, that one seemed straight forward. This is the torch that came with the machine.

I'll try the compressed air and see what I come up with.

I bet the particular torch you have used black for the water and blue for the argon, instead of the paper sticker. It's always best to double check the lines. That is one nice thing about threaded connectors, water is left hand thread while gas is right hand.
