Product Overview
Hypertherm 220179 swirl ring engineered for HyPerformance plasma cutting torches running 80 A and 130 A cutting configurations. This gas distributor creates the high-velocity vortex that centers and stabilizes the plasma arc around the electrode, ensuring consistent energy density, reduced dross, and square edge cuts across plate materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which torch models accept the 220179 swirl ring?
This consumable fits Hypertherm HyPerformance HPR torches, including the HPR130, HPR130XD, HPR260, HPR260XD, and HPR400XD setups operating at 80 A or 130 A.
Are sealing O-rings installed on this unit?
Yes. The dual exterior O-rings and internal bore seal are mounted and intact on the body.
Why buy individual genuine swirl rings instead of full consumable kits?
Plasma torches cycle through nozzles and shields far faster than swirl rings, often leaving shops with uneven consumable inventories. Buying individual genuine Hypertherm components lets you replenish the exact pieces your machines consume without paying for redundant parts you do not need. More pieces cost less each, and the price-break table on this page shows what each quantity costs. Orders ship for an $8 flat rate, qualify for free shipping at $28, and leave our Idaho warehouse the same or next business day.
Clean cuts on a CNC table start with steady gas dynamics, and having the right swirl ring on hand keeps the arc focused where metal meets torch. Drop it into the torch body, lock the stack down, and get back to cutting steel.
