0558005090 - Oxweld 1566HS Size 6 MAPP/Propylene Cutting Tip

High-Performance Cutting with ESAB Oxweld 1566HS Series

The ESAB Oxweld 1566HS-6 Nozzle (0558005090) is a premium cutting tip engineered specifically for use with MAPP gas and Propylene (FG-2). Part of the renowned Oxweld 1566HS series, this nozzle is designed to deliver high-speed cutting performance without compromising on precision or edge quality. The "HS" designation stands for High Speed, indicating that the internal geometry of the nozzle is optimized to accelerate the cutting oxygen stream, allowing for faster travel speeds and cleaner cuts on carbon steel plates.

This Size 6 nozzle is intended for heavier applications, capable of piercing and cutting through substantial thicknesses of steel, typically in the range of 4 to 6 inches depending on gas pressure and torch setup. The two-piece construction—featuring a brass inner member and a copper outer sleeve—is a hallmark of alternate fuel nozzles. This design creates a stable preheat flame that is essential for the combustion characteristics of MAPP and Propylene, which differ significantly from Acetylene. The separation of the inner and outer parts also facilitates easier cleaning and maintenance, extending the overall lifespan of the consumable.

Durability is a key focus of the ESAB Oxweld line. The outer sleeve is chrome-plated to resist the adhesion of molten spatter, reducing the frequency of cleaning required during continuous operation. The seating surfaces are precision-machined to ensure a gas-tight seal with the torch head, preventing dangerous leaks and ensuring consistent flame stability. This nozzle is compatible with a wide range of Oxweld torches, including the C-32, C-66, C-77, and C-97 models, making it a versatile addition to any industrial fabrication shop or scrap yard utilizing alternate fuel gases.

Whether utilized in machine cutting applications where consistency is paramount, or hand cutting operations requiring robust performance, the 1566HS-6 delivers reliable results. By optimizing the oxygen stream and preheat flame for FG-2 gases, ESAB ensures that operators can achieve maximum efficiency and reduced gas consumption compared to generic replacement tips.
