0560988023 - ESAB 1.7mm Replacement Cutting Tip 352284

Precision Engineering for Industrial Cutting

The ESAB Cutting Nozzle (0560988023) represents the high standard of engineering expected from a global leader in welding and cutting technologies. Designed with a specific 1.7mm diameter orifice, this nozzle is referenced by the part number 352284 and is intended for use in compatible ESAB oxy-fuel cutting systems. In industrial metalworking, the quality of the cutting nozzle is a critical determinant of the final cut quality. A precisely machined bore ensures that the cutting oxygen stream remains laminar and focused, which is essential for achieving square edges and minimizing the width of the kerf.

Constructed from high-thermal-conductivity copper alloy, this nozzle is built to dissipate heat rapidly, preventing the tip from overheating during prolonged cutting operations. Overheating can lead to flashbacks or premature degradation of the tip face, issues that this ESAB component is engineered to mitigate. The internal geometry of the nozzle is designed to optimize the mixture of preheat gases, providing a stable and uniform flame ring that brings the base metal to ignition temperature efficiently without melting the top edge excessively.

For maintenance and repair operations (MRO) managers and procurement specialists, selecting genuine OEM parts like the ESAB 0560988023 ensures compatibility and safety. Generic nozzles often suffer from poor machining tolerances, leading to gas leaks at the seat or irregular flame patterns that require constant operator adjustment. By utilizing this specific 1.7mm nozzle, operators can maintain consistent cutting parameters, reducing downtime associated with troubleshooting poor cut quality or frequent tip changes. This component is an essential consumable for fabrication shops relying on ESAB torch systems for processing carbon steel plates and structural components.

The 1.7mm sizing places this nozzle in a versatile range, typically suitable for medium-thickness steel plate cutting. It strikes a balance between cutting speed and gas consumption, making it a workhorse for general fabrication duties. Proper maintenance, including regular cleaning with appropriate tip cleaners, will extend the operational life of this nozzle, ensuring it delivers value over its lifespan.
