19490 - Oxweld 4217 Size 6 Acetylene Cutting Nozzle

Product Overview

The ESAB Oxweld 19490 is a Series 4217, Size 6 cutting tip designed for use with acetylene gas. This nozzle features a one-piece copper construction, which is standard for acetylene applications to ensure optimal heat transfer and durability. The 4217 series is engineered to provide a stable preheat flame and a coherent cutting oxygen stream, allowing for high-quality cuts with minimal slag accumulation.

Technical Specifications

This specific nozzle, identified by SKU 19490, corresponds to a Size 6 tip. In the Oxweld sizing chart, a Size 6 tip is typically rated for cutting mild steel with a thickness of approximately 4 inches (100 mm). It requires appropriate oxygen and acetylene pressure settings to maintain a neutral flame and efficient cutting speed. The tip is compatible with Oxweld hand cutting torches such as the C-32, C-66, C-77, and C-97, as well as compatible machine torches.

Design and Compatibility

The internal geometry of the 4217 nozzle is swaged to minimize turbulence in the gas flow, resulting in a clean cut surface. As a one-piece tip, it combines the preheat and cutting orifices into a single solid copper alloy body. This design is robust against the heat reflected from the workpiece, making it suitable for sustained industrial use. Users should verify torch compatibility to ensure the seating mechanism matches the Oxweld style head.
