What the 220671 plasma nozzle does and who it suits
The nozzle focuses the plasma arc through a small orifice. As the orifice wears or distorts, the cut gets wider, angled and rougher with more dross.
It suits Powermax45 owners who cut sheet and plate regularly and go through consumables. The part number matches the right family, which is more useful than the vague “45 cutting torch” wording on the listing.
How to check it fits
- Confirm your machine is a Powermax45 and look at the torch consumable list in your Hypertherm manual.
- Check that the nozzle part number in the manual is 220671 for your torch.
- Look at the Amazon seller name and the product images for Hypertherm packaging.
- Check whether the pack includes electrodes or only nozzles.
- Do not mix it with 65, 85 or 105 amp machine consumables.
Hypertherm part 220941 is a 45 A nozzle for Powermax65, 85 and 105 torches, not the Powermax45. Use our 220941 nozzle review to see that difference.
Pros and limitations
- Pros: Matches a standard Powermax45 part number; copper construction is the norm for plasma nozzles; a quick and cheap consumable swap.
- Limitations: It is unclear whether the seller offers OEM stock; the listing gives no life figures, and consumable wear varies with air quality and technique.
Getting more life from plasma consumables
- Use clean, dry compressed air with a filter or dryer.
- Keep the correct standoff and avoid dragging the torch on plate unless designed for it.
- Pierce at an angle to limit blow-back onto the nozzle.
- Replace the nozzle and electrode as a set when cut quality drops.
- Wear eye protection with a shade suited to your cutting current, gloves, and ventilate the area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is 220671 the right nozzle for a Powermax45?
Retailers such as Airgas list Hypertherm 220671 as a 45 A nozzle for the Powermax45 hand and machine torch. Confirm your machine variant in the manual, since XP and other models can use different part numbers.
Is this listing genuine Hypertherm or aftermarket?
The listing does not make this clear, so check the seller, brand and packaging details. Aftermarket nozzles can work but may wear faster or fit with small differences, so compare with the part number and look for seller return terms.
Which parts should I change with the nozzle?
Change the nozzle and electrode together as a set, and inspect the swirl ring and retaining cap each time. A worn electrode damages a new nozzle quickly, so check both when cut quality drops.
Can I cut aluminum or stainless with it?
Plasma cutters can cut conductive metals such as steel, stainless and aluminum within the machine’s rated thickness. Check your Powermax45 manual for cut capacities and for the right air supply, since moisture and oil ruin consumables.
Verdict
220671 is the right kind of part for a Powermax45, but verify who is selling it and whether it matches your machine variant before ordering.
