I had that happen once when I used a metal washer as a depth stop on my nozzle, held in place by the ceramic tip. The current arced up past the O-ring to the washer.
No, the whole nozzle assembly on the Hypertherm 85 is fully insulated, the nozzle is actually dragged on the metal. I believe the plastic rigs are a left over when nozzle wasn't insulated. Also this is a universal kit, I basing all of this on the fact, mine is a Hypertherm.
