0558005032 - ESAB Oxweld 1567-2 Gouging Nozzle for MAPP/FG-2

High-Performance Gouging with ESAB 1567-2

The ESAB 1567-2 Gouging Nozzle (Part Number 0558005032) is a specialized oxy-fuel consumable designed for industrial gouging applications. Unlike standard cutting tips that pierce and sever metal, this nozzle is engineered to wash away molten metal, creating a clean, U-shaped groove. It is specifically calibrated for use with MAPP gas and FG-2 (fuel gas), making it an essential tool for workshops that utilize alternative fuels rather than acetylene. The use of alternative fuels for gouging is often preferred for its safety profile and cost-efficiency in heavy removal tasks.

Constructed with the durability expected from the Oxweld heritage, the 1567 series features a robust two-piece design. This configuration includes a heavy copper outer shell and a brass inner member with precision splines. The two-piece architecture is critical for alternate fuels, as it creates a recess that anchors the flame, ensuring stability even when the torch is manipulated at aggressive angles typical of gouging operations. The nozzle effectively preheats the base metal and delivers a low-velocity oxygen stream that washes the metal away rather than blowing through it, allowing for controlled depth and width.

Industrial fabricators rely on the 1567-2 for preparing weld joints (J-grooves or U-grooves), removing defective welds, and washing away rivets or bolt heads. The nozzle's resistance to heat buildup and flashback makes it suitable for prolonged use in demanding environments such as shipyards, structural steel plants, and heavy equipment repair facilities. By optimizing the gas flow for MAPP and FG-2, ESAB ensures that operators achieve maximum efficiency without the instability often found when using generic tips with alternative gases.

This nozzle fits standard Oxweld and Purox torches compatible with the 1567 series seating. When selecting a gouging nozzle, ensuring the correct gas match is vital for safety and performance; the 1567-2 is the definitive choice for MAPP/FG-2 setups requiring a size 2 capacity.
