0560987979 - ESAB 2.7mm Heavy Duty Cutting Tip

Industrial Precision for Heavy Fabrication

The ESAB Cutting Nozzle Dia 2.7mm (SKU: 0560987979) represents the high standard of engineering required for industrial oxy-fuel cutting applications. Designed for professionals who demand reliability and precision, this nozzle features a 2.7mm cutting oxygen bore, making it suitable for processing thicker sections of steel with efficiency and control. In heavy fabrication environments, the quality of the cutting tip directly influences the quality of the cut edge, the speed of travel, and the amount of gas consumed. ESAB has engineered this nozzle to optimize the oxygen stream, ensuring a laminar flow that maintains a tight, hot cutting stream over greater distances.

Constructed from high-quality copper alloys, this nozzle is built to withstand the intense thermal cycling inherent in industrial cutting operations. The material selection ensures rapid heat dissipation, preventing the tip from overheating and reducing the likelihood of flashbacks or backfires during prolonged use. The precision-drilled preheat ports provide a uniform flame ring, essential for quick starts and maintaining the ignition temperature of the steel ahead of the cut. This balance of preheat and cutting oxygen flow is critical for automated machine cutting or steady hand-cutting operations where consistency is paramount.

For MRO specialists and procurement managers, choosing genuine ESAB consumables like the 0560987979 nozzle ensures compatibility with existing equipment and adherence to safety standards. Generic nozzles often suffer from poor machining tolerances which can lead to gas leaks, erratic flames, and increased slag production. By utilizing this OEM specification nozzle, facilities can maintain high productivity rates, reduce downtime associated with tip cleaning or replacement, and achieve superior edge quality that requires less secondary machining or grinding.
