639604 - Oxweld 1566HS Size 2 Machine Cutting Tip for Propane and Natural Gas

High-Performance Machine Cutting with ESAB Oxweld

The ESAB Oxweld Internal 1566 Series Size 2 Two-Piece Alternate Fuels Nozzle (SKU: 639604) is a premium consumable designed for industrial machine cutting applications. Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of automated cutting tables and structural steel fabrication, this nozzle is part of the renowned 1566HS (High Speed) series. It is specifically calibrated for use with alternate fuel gases, including Propane and Natural Gas, offering a cost-effective and efficient solution for facilities looking to move away from acetylene without sacrificing cut quality.

This Size 2 nozzle is rated for cutting metal up to 2 inches thick, making it a versatile choice for medium-to-heavy plate processing. The "HS" designation indicates its high-speed capabilities, allowing operators to achieve cutting speeds between 12 and 17 inches per minute. This increase in travel speed translates directly to higher throughput and improved productivity on the shop floor. Additionally, the nozzle features a "High Preheat" design, which generates a robust preheat flame. This is particularly advantageous when initiating cuts on steel that may have mill scale, rust, or primer coatings, ensuring consistent starts and reducing preheat dwell times.

The two-piece construction of the 1566 series allows for simplified maintenance. The inner and outer members can be separated, making it easier to clean out slag or debris that may accumulate during operation. Proper maintenance of the seating surfaces and gas passages ensures the longevity of the tip and maintains the precision of the oxygen jet. With a cutting oxygen pressure requirement of 90 PSIG and a fuel setting of 3-5 PSIG, this nozzle is optimized for standard industrial gas supply systems. Trust ESAB's Oxweld heritage for reliable, high-quality cuts in your manufacturing processes.
