Abstract: A filter component includes a sealing surface configured to sealingly engage a valve stem and a filter coupled to a valve seat. The filter is configured to remove contaminants from a stream of fluid flowing therethrough to protect the sealing surface and the valve stem from damage and to prevent blockage and/or damage to downstream components. A conduit seat is configured to secure a fluid conduit in alignment with an opening in the valve seat. The fluid conduit is configured to be coupled to a downstream component.

Abstract: A cutting head includes a cutting head body with an integrated collet and a shield configured to direct expended abrasive particles away from the cutting head. A wear insert is secured within the cutting head body and configured with a venturi chamber in which a stream of water accelerates a metered stream of abrasive. A focusing tube is secured to the wear insert assembly by the cutting head body with the integrated collet. The integrated collet aligns a focusing orifice of the focusing tube with an orifice through which the stream of water flows. A nut secures the integrated collet to the focusing tube and seals an interior of the cutting head body. The shield is selectively positionable along a length of the focusing tube to optimize shielding.

Abstract: A cutting head for a high pressure water jet cutting assembly includes a body having an inner chamber and an aperture that extends into the inner chamber. A focusing tube is removably insertable within the inner chamber along a longitudinal axis. An engagement member is at least partially disposed within the aperture and movable between a first position and a second position in which a portion of the engagement member is disposed within the inner chamber. A retaining member is engageable with the body and movable with respect to the body to bias the engagement member into engagement with the focusing tube to retain the focusing tube within the inner chamber and to align the focusing tube substantially along the longitudinal axis.
