0558005026 - ESAB Oxweld 1567-18 Propane/NG Gouging Tip

ESAB Oxweld 1567-18 Gouging Nozzle for Natural Gas & Propane

The ESAB Oxweld 1567-18 (SKU: 0558005026) is a specialized two-piece gouging nozzle designed to deliver superior performance when using alternate fuel gases such as Propane or Natural Gas. Engineered by ESAB under the renowned Oxweld brand, this nozzle is an essential consumable for industrial fabrication environments where efficient weld removal, groove preparation, and defect excision are required. Unlike standard cutting tips, the 1567 series is geometrically optimized to wash away molten metal smoothly, creating a clean, U-shaped groove that facilitates subsequent welding operations.

Constructed with a durable outer sleeve and a precision-machined inner member, the 1567-18 ensures a stable preheat flame and a focused oxygen stream necessary for effective gouging. The two-piece design is specifically tailored for the combustion characteristics of alternate fuels, which burn at a different velocity compared to acetylene. This ensures that the flame remains attached and stable even during aggressive gouging passes. The size 18 orifice provides a substantial capacity for removing metal, making it suitable for medium-to-heavy duty applications in shipyards, structural steel shops, and heavy equipment repair.

Compatibility is key with the Oxweld line. This nozzle fits a wide range of industry-standard Oxweld torches, including the C-32, C-66, C-77, and C-97 models. By utilizing Propane or Natural Gas, operators can take advantage of lower fuel costs without sacrificing the quality of the gouge. Whether you are back-gouging a root pass or removing old welds for repair, the ESAB 1567-18 provides the control and reliability professional welders demand.
