0558005073 - ESAB 1566HS Series High-Speed Machine Cutting Tip - Size 3/4 - Propane/NG

High-Performance Machine Cutting with ESAB 1566HS

The ESAB 1566HS-3/4 Nozzle (SKU: 0558005073) represents the pinnacle of high-speed machine cutting technology for alternate fuel gases. Engineered specifically for use with Natural Gas and Propane, this nozzle belongs to the renowned 1566HS series, which is designed to maximize productivity in automated cutting environments. Unlike standard straight-bore tips, the 1566HS features a divergent bore geometry. This advanced aerodynamic design accelerates the cutting oxygen stream to supersonic velocities, allowing for cutting speeds that are typically 20% to 30% faster than conventional tips without sacrificing cut quality.

Structurally, the nozzle employs a robust two-piece design, consisting of a brass internal member and a heavy-duty, chrome-plated outer shell. The separation of the preheat splines from the outer shell allows for easier cleaning and maintenance, while the chrome plating significantly reduces the adherence of slag and spatter, extending the service life of the consumable. The internal geometry is specifically tuned for the combustion characteristics of propane and natural gas, ensuring a stable, high-temperature preheat flame that is essential for piercing and maintaining the cut on heavy plates.

This specific model, the 1566HS-3/4, is calibrated for precise flow rates suited for its designated thickness range. It is compatible with Oxweld and ESAB machine torches that accept the 1500 series seating. Industrial fabricators relying on large-scale table cutting operations will find that the 1566HS series reduces thermal distortion due to faster travel speeds and minimizes post-cut grinding by producing a narrower kerf and sharper top edges.
