Hello Jim. :wave:
I would like to connect a Duramax HRT torch (
#228918) without the quick disconnect to my Powermax600 with the quick disconnect. I have the gas connection taken care of, and I just wanted to check that the wiring is as straightforward as it seems to be.
White wires connected to where the original white wires connect, red to red, and the 3 wire (purple/orange/blue) connector swapped with the original connector.
However, one thing is holding me back. The wiring on my machine has 1 purple wire coming from the torch going to the 3 wire connector. The Duramax torch has this same wire, along with a SECOND purple wire that is spliced into the orange wire going to the 3 wire connector. If you look closely at the photo, you can see it along side the orange wire exiting the Duramax torch.
Is this something I need to be concerned about, or can I proceed with making the connections as described?
Thank you for you help!
