08Z88 - Oxweld 1515 Series Acetylene Heating Head - Size 8

ESAB Oxweld 1515 Heating Nozzle - Size 8 (08Z88)

The ESAB Oxweld 1515 Heating Nozzle, part number 08Z88, is a premium industrial component designed for heavy-duty heating applications. Engineered by one of the most trusted names in oxy-fuel equipment, this Size 8 multi-flame head is specifically calibrated for use with Acetylene gas. It is an essential tool for professionals in structural steel fabrication, shipbuilding, and heavy equipment repair who require rapid, concentrated heat input for manipulating metal.

The 1515 series is renowned for its durability and efficiency. Constructed from high-quality copper, the nozzle is designed to withstand the intense reflected heat generated during prolonged heating cycles. The multi-flame configuration distributes heat evenly over a targeted area, making it far superior to standard cutting tips or single-flame welding nozzles for tasks such as bending, straightening, and shrinking. The Size 8 specification indicates a high-capacity flow rate, capable of delivering the BTUs necessary to bring thick steel sections to working temperature quickly.

Compatibility is key in industrial environments, and the 08Z88 fits seamlessly with standard heavy-duty Oxweld torch handles, including the W-17, W-26, and W-48 models. This versatility ensures that existing shop equipment can be utilized without the need for specialized adapters. Whether used for preheating prior to welding to prevent cracking, or for flame priming to remove scale and rust, the Oxweld 1515 Size 8 nozzle delivers consistent, reliable performance. Its design maximizes the high flame temperature of acetylene, providing the intense thermal shock needed for efficient flame straightening operations.

Invest in genuine ESAB Oxweld components to ensure safety and performance. The precision machining of the gas ports ensures a stable flame profile, reducing the risk of flashbacks when used with properly maintained equipment. This nozzle represents the standard for acetylene heating in heavy industry.
