0558005029 - ESAB Oxweld 1567 Series Gouging Nozzle - Size 1/2 - MAPP/Propylene

Precision Gouging with ESAB 1567 Series

The ESAB 1567-1/2 Nozzle is a specialized oxy-fuel consumable designed explicitly for gouging operations. Unlike standard cutting tips that sever metal completely, this gouging nozzle is engineered to remove surface metal, wash away old welds, or prepare cracks for re-welding with exceptional control. It is specifically calibrated for use with MAPP gas and FG-2 (Propylene), making it an ideal choice for shops that prefer high-performance alternate fuels over acetylene.

Constructed with the legendary quality associated with the Oxweld and Purox brands, this nozzle features a robust two-piece design. This configuration includes a heavy-duty outer sleeve made from heat-resistant copper alloy and an inner brass splined member. The two-piece architecture is critical for alternate fuels, as it creates a recess at the tip end that anchors the flame, ensuring stability even during aggressive gouging passes. The internal splines promote thorough mixing of the preheat gases, resulting in a hot, concentrated flame that rapidly brings the base metal to ignition temperature.

The "1/2" size designation indicates the nozzle's capacity, suitable for creating grooves approximately 1/2 inch wide in a single pass, depending on travel speed and oxygen pressure. This makes it versatile for a wide range of maintenance and fabrication tasks, from removing temporary lifting lugs to excavating deep cracks in heavy plate. The low-velocity oxygen stream washes molten metal away smoothly rather than blowing it out violently, leaving a clean, U-shaped groove that requires minimal secondary grinding.

Operators will appreciate the durability of the 1567 series. The chrome-like finish on the sleeve helps resist spatter adhesion, making cleaning easier and extending the service life of the tip. Whether you are working in a shipyard, a structural steel fabrication plant, or a heavy equipment repair facility, the ESAB 1567-1/2 provides the reliability and performance needed for demanding metal removal tasks.
