Hypertherm part 220941 is a 45-amp nozzle used with Duramax and Duramax Lock consumable systems. The part number is the key ordering check. “Powermax nozzle” is too broad because Hypertherm uses different consumable families, amperage ranges, torch platforms, and process setups. Before ordering a 220941 five-pack, confirm the exact torch and the intended cutting setup rather than matching only the machine name.
What Hypertherm confirms for 220941
Hypertherm’s current product page identifies #220941 as a Duramax and Duramax Lock 45 A nozzle with an operating range of 15 A–45 A. The same manufacturer page associates the consumable with drag and mechanized cutting contexts and lists Powermax45 XP, Powermax65, Powermax85, and Powermax105 among compatible system families. That does not mean every torch, process, and full consumable stack on every one of those systems uses 220941. Hypertherm specifically tells users to view the compatible systems, applications, torches, and additional consumables for the product.
| Ordering check | Verified detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Hypertherm part | 220941 | Prevents a generic “45 A nozzle” substitution |
| Consumable family | Duramax / Duramax Lock | Torch platform matters |
| Published operating range | 15 A–45 A | Confirms the manufacturer’s range for this nozzle |
| Arc Weld package | Pack of 5 | Verify package quantity before comparing listings |
| Fit decision | Torch + process + complete consumable stack | Machine name alone is not enough |
Why machine model alone can be misleading
A Powermax power supply may support more than one torch arrangement or consumable setup. The nozzle is only one component in the stack. Electrode, swirl ring, retaining cap, shield, nozzle, and torch configuration have to match the intended process. If a shop simply searches the machine model and buys the first 45 A nozzle it finds, it can end up with a part from the wrong consumable generation or a setup that does not match the torch in hand.
The safer ordering sequence is to read the nozzle’s part number, identify the torch, confirm the process being used, and compare that combination to the current Hypertherm consumable chart or manual for the exact system. Treat a distributor title as a shortcut to the part, not as a replacement for the manufacturer’s consumable chart.
45 A does not mean “all 45 A consumables are interchangeable”
Amperage is one selection variable, not the complete identity of a plasma consumable. Two nozzles can both be associated with 45-amp cutting and still belong to different torch families or process stacks. The 220941 part number and Duramax/Duramax Lock identity are therefore more useful ordering data than a generic “45 amp” description.
When a five-pack makes sense
Arc Weld’s current listing is for a pack of five. That can make sense for a shop that already has a verified Duramax/Duramax Lock 220941 setup and wants replacement consumables on hand. It is less useful as a first-time troubleshooting purchase if the shop has not confirmed why its current nozzle is failing. Poor air quality, incorrect torch height, damaged adjacent consumables, piercing technique, incorrect process setup, or using the wrong part family can all shorten consumable life. Replacing nozzles without checking the rest of the system can turn a consumable purchase into a recurring symptom rather than a fix.
Fit-check sequence before ordering
- Read the current nozzle part number and confirm 220941 is actually specified.
- Identify the installed torch as Duramax or Duramax Lock and verify the exact torch variant.
- Confirm the process: drag cutting, mechanized cutting, or another application shown by Hypertherm for the consumable stack.
- Use the current Hypertherm system manual or consumable chart to verify the surrounding electrode, shield/cap, and other consumables.
- Verify that a five-pack is the package quantity you want.
- If premature wear is the reason for buying, inspect air quality, setup, torch height, and adjacent consumables before assuming the nozzle itself is the root cause.

What this guide does not establish
This article does not create a universal Powermax consumable recipe. It does not prove that 220941 is correct for every torch attached to a Powermax45 XP, 65, 85, or 105 power supply. It also does not replace Hypertherm’s manual, consumable chart, or service guidance. The purpose is narrower: preserve the exact part number, explain the verified 45 A Duramax/Duramax Lock identity, and give buyers a repeatable way to avoid ordering by a vague machine description.
