5470144 - ESAB Oxweld 1427 Series Acetylene Cutting Tip, Size 14

Precision Engineering for Industrial Cutting

The ESAB Oxweld 1427 Series Cutting Nozzle (Size 14) represents the pinnacle of oxy-acetylene cutting technology, designed for professionals who demand exact tolerances and consistent performance. Manufactured by ESAB, a global leader in welding and cutting solutions, this nozzle is engineered to maximize the calorific potential of acetylene gas, delivering a high-intensity preheat flame and a coherent oxygen cutting stream. The Size 14 orifice is specifically calibrated for cutting mild steel plates with a thickness of approximately 2 inches (50mm), making it an essential component for structural fabrication, heavy equipment repair, and industrial scrapping operations.

Technically, the 1427 series distinguishes itself through its one-piece copper construction. Unlike two-piece alternatives that rely on an inner and outer shell, the solid copper design of the 1427 facilitates superior thermal conductivity. This rapid heat dissipation is critical in preventing the tip from overheating during prolonged cuts, thereby significantly reducing the risk of flashbacks and extending the service life of the consumable. The internal geometry of the nozzle is swaged to ultra-precise dimensions, ensuring laminar gas flow. This results in a stable, non-turbulent cutting stream that produces smooth kerf walls and minimizes the need for secondary machining or grinding.

Furthermore, the exterior of the nozzle features a durable chrome plating. This is not merely aesthetic; the chrome finish provides a robust shield against the adhesion of molten spatter and slag. In high-volume industrial environments, this feature reduces downtime associated with tip cleaning and maintenance. The seating surface is machined to strict Oxweld specifications, ensuring a gas-tight seal with compatible torches, preventing leaks and maintaining optimal system pressure. For MRO specialists and procurement officers, the ESAB 5470144 offers a blend of reliability, safety, and efficiency that aligns with the rigorous standards of modern industrial manufacturing.
