Features

1. Adjustable Edge Thickness for Flexible Mounting

· Unique 38-51 mm edge thickness range (the only K100-series adapter with variable thickness) allows customization to match different mounting depth requirements. This flexibility is critical for setups where standard 45 mm fixed thickness would cause misalignment or interference—such as retrofitting older 980/982 machines or pairing with custom attachments.

· The adjustable design eliminates the need for shims or modifications, reducing installation time and ensuring a precise, flush fit with the machine’s surface.

2. Low-Profile Flushmount Design

· Engineered to sit evenly with the machinery’s exterior, minimizing protrusions that could catch on debris, damage surrounding structures, or limit access in tight spaces (e.g., narrow mine shafts, indoor construction areas). This low-profile build is a key advantage over bulkier adapters like the 223-8108 RH BOLT ON CORNER ADAPTER (39.4 kg) for confined operations.

· The flushmount configuration also distributes stress more evenly across the adapter’s surface, reducing wear on both the adapter and connected components (e.g., tips, retainers).

3. Lightweight Durability

· Weighs 16.2 kg—the lightest among all K100-series adapters—making it easy for maintenance teams to handle during installation, removal, or adjustments. Despite its lightweight build, it maintains industrial-grade durability, withstanding the rigors of heavy-duty tasks like lateral breaking and material handling.

· The balanced weight ensures the adapter does not add unnecessary load to the machine, preserving fuel efficiency and reducing strain on the machinery’s core components.

4. Seamless K100 Series Compatibility

· Strictly adheres to the K100 size series standards, enabling seamless integration with all K100-series tips (e.g., 475-5500 HEAVY ABRASION TIP, 475-5497 GENERAL PURPOSE TIP) and retainers (e.g., 220-9090 RETAINER). Operators can switch between tips based on task needs without modifying the adapter, saving time and reducing downtime.

· Works in tandem with other K100 adapters (e.g., 223-8104 CENTER 2 STRAP, 229-7102 LH 2 STRAP LONG LIFE (ARM)) to build hybrid setups—combining the flushmount adapter’s flexibility with the strength of other adapters for complex tasks.

Applications

1. Confined-Space Mining

In narrow mine shafts or underground mining areas, the K100 229-7104 FLUSHMOUNT ADAPTER’s low-profile design and adjustable thickness (38-51 mm) prevent interference with mine walls or support structures. It enables 980/982 machines to perform precision ore extraction or rock trimming in tight spaces, where bulkier adapters would be impractical. When paired with the 475-5500 HEAVY ABRASION TIP (14.3 kg), it resists wear from abrasive mining materials while maintaining a flush fit.

2. Indoor Construction & Renovation

Indoor construction projects (e.g., warehouse renovations, building expansions) often require machinery to operate in spaces with low ceilings or narrow corridors. The adapter’s flushmount design and lightweight 16.2 kg build make it ideal for these scenarios, as it reduces the risk of damaging overhead fixtures or walls. It supports tasks like concrete trimming, wall demolition, or floor preparation, and pairs seamlessly with the 475-5497 GENERAL PURPOSE TIP (9.4 kg) for routine indoor work.

3. Custom Material Handling Setups

Manufacturing facilities or ports with custom material handling equipment (e.g., specialized conveyors, automated lifters) rely on the adapter’s adjustable thickness to align with unique mounting requirements. The 38-51 mm edge thickness range allows it to fit different attachment depths, while the flushmount design ensures smooth material flow (e.g., preventing snagging when moving delicate or irregularly shaped items). When used with the 475-5492 HEAVY DUTY TIP (11.2 kg), it safely handles heavy loads in custom configurations.

4. Machinery Retrofitting & Maintenance

Maintenance teams use the K100 229-7104 FLUSHMOUNT ADAPTER to retrofit older 980/982 machines or replace worn adapters in non-standard setups. Its adjustable thickness compensates for dimensional variations in aging machinery, ensuring compatibility with new or existing tips and retainers. The lightweight design simplifies installation in hard-to-reach areas, reducing maintenance downtime and extending the service life of legacy equipment.

FAQ

1. Why does the 229-7104 FLUSHMOUNT ADAPTER have a variable edge thickness (38-51 mm) while other K100 adapters have fixed 45 mm?

The variable thickness is a intentional design to address flexibility needs:

· Most K100 adapters (e.g., 223-8104, 223-8108) have fixed 45 mm thickness for standard, high-stress applications.

· The 229-7104 FLUSHMOUNT ADAPTER’s 38-51 mm range caters to setups where standard thickness causes misalignment—such as retrofitting older machines, custom attachments, or confined spaces. This adaptability makes it a versatile solution for non-standard 980/982 configurations.

2. Can this adapter be used on machines other than the 980 and 982 models?

No. The K100 229-7104 FLUSHMOUNT ADAPTER is exclusively calibrated for 980 and 982 heavy-duty machines. It will not fit other machine models or size series outside of K100, as dimensional mismatches (even with adjustable thickness) would cause installation errors and safety risks during operation.

3. Is the adapter compatible with the 220-9090 RETAINER?

Yes. The adapter works seamlessly with the 220-9090 RETAINER when paired with compatible tips (e.g., 475-5500 HEAVY ABRASION TIP). The retainer secures the tip to the adapter’s flush mounting surface, while the adapter’s adjustable thickness ensures the entire assembly aligns with the machine’s core. This combination is recommended for high-wear tasks in confined spaces.
