998073 - ESAB Purox Type 50 Welding Nozzle for W-300 Torch

Heavy-Duty Precision for Industrial Welding

The ESAB Purox Type 50 Welding Tip (SKU: 998073) is a specialized consumable designed for use with the renowned Purox W-300 heavy-duty welding torch handle. Engineered for industrial environments where reliability and heat consistency are paramount, this size 50 tip offers a robust solution for welding thicker gauges of steel and performing intensive heating applications. The tip is manufactured from high-grade copper, utilizing a single-piece swaged construction that maximizes thermal conductivity. This design helps keep the tip cool even during high-amperage equivalent gas flows, significantly reducing the risk of flashback and premature wear.

The internal geometry of the nozzle is precision-bored to ensure a laminar gas flow, resulting in a stable, long cone flame that is easy to control. This stability is critical when working on structural welds or pipe fabrication where defect-free joints are required. The size 50 orifice is calibrated to deliver a substantial volume of oxy-acetylene mixture, making it suitable for heavy plate welding and pre-heating tasks that smaller tips cannot handle efficiently. By maintaining a focused flame profile, operators can achieve deep penetration and proper puddle control without excessive turbulence.

Compatibility is key with the ESAB 998073. It is designed to seat perfectly into the mixer assembly of the W-300 series handles, ensuring a gas-tight seal that prevents leaks and ensures safety. Whether used in a fabrication shop, a shipyard, or for heavy equipment repair, this genuine ESAB part restores the original performance specifications of your oxy-fuel equipment. Regular inspection and cleaning of the tip face with appropriate tip cleaners will further extend the lifespan of this essential component.
