65Z12 - Victor Type 55 Heating Nozzle Size 15 - 16 Inch Length

Heavy-Duty Heating with Propane and Natural Gas

The Victor Type 55 Multi-Flame Heating Nozzle (Size 15), identified by SKU 65Z12, is a premier solution for industrial professionals requiring substantial heat output without the cost or volatility of acetylene. Designed specifically for use with alternative fuels such as propane and natural gas, this nozzle leverages a multi-flame design to generate a broad, intense heat pattern ideal for large-scale applications.

Optimized for Alternative Fuels

Unlike standard welding nozzles, the Type 55 series is engineered to maximize the combustion efficiency of slower-burning gases like propane. This results in a high BTU output that rivals acetylene for heating purposes, making it an economical choice for shops that consume large volumes of gas for preheating. The Size 15 tip is one of the larger configurations available, capable of bringing thick steel sections to working temperature rapidly.

Extended Reach and Durability

Measuring 16 inches in length, this nozzle assembly provides the operator with significant reach, keeping hands and torch handles at a safer distance from the radiant heat of the workpiece. This is particularly important when working on large castings or thick structural beams where reflected heat can be intense. Constructed from high-quality brass and copper, the nozzle is built to withstand the rigors of heavy industrial environments, ensuring a long service life even under continuous use.

Versatile Industrial Applications

This nozzle is an essential tool for metal fabrication, shipyards, and structural steel erection. It excels in applications such as preheating prior to welding to prevent cracking, straightening bent shafts or beams through localized heating, and removing old paint or scale. Compatible with Victor heavy-duty torch handles (300 series), it integrates seamlessly into existing oxy-fuel setups.
