0558005088 - Victor Style 1566HS Size 2-1/2 High Speed Machine Cutting Tip

Industrial High-Speed Machine Cutting Tip

The ESAB Victor 1566HS-2-1/2 Machine Cutting Tip (SKU: 0558005088) is a premium consumable designed for industrial fabrication environments utilizing automated cutting systems. Part of the renowned 1566HS series, this nozzle is engineered specifically for use with alternative fuel gases, including MAPP and Propylene (FG-2). The "HS" designation stands for High Speed, indicating that the internal geometry of the oxygen bore is optimized to maintain a coherent, high-velocity cutting stream over greater distances, allowing for faster travel speeds without sacrificing cut quality.

Constructed with a two-piece design, the tip features a brass inner member with precision-milled splines for gas mixing and a heavy-duty copper outer shell. This configuration is essential for alternative fuels, which require a recessed tip face to anchor the flame properly. The chrome-plated finish provides excellent resistance to heat and spatter adhesion, extending the service life of the tip in high-duty-cycle applications. The size 2-1/2 orifice is calibrated for cutting mild steel plates typically ranging from 2 to 3 inches in thickness, making it a versatile choice for structural steel processing and heavy equipment manufacturing.

Operators and facility managers choose the 1566HS series for its reliability and efficiency. By maximizing the thermal potential of MAPP and Propylene gases, this tip reduces preheat times and minimizes slag accumulation, leading to reduced post-cut grinding and lower overall operational costs. It is fully compatible with standard Victor-style machine torches.
