OVERVIEW

ESAB Oxweld 1566HS-1 High-Speed Machine Cutting Nozzle

The ESAB 0558005074 is a premium Size 1 cutting nozzle from the renowned Oxweld 1566HS series. Engineered specifically for machine cutting applications utilizing alternative fuels such as Natural Gas and Propane, this nozzle represents the pinnacle of high-speed oxy-fuel cutting technology. The "HS" designation stands for High Speed, indicating a divergent bore design that accelerates the cutting oxygen stream to supersonic velocities, allowing for travel speeds significantly faster than standard straight-bore tips.

This Size 1 tip is calibrated for cutting mild steel ranging from 3/4-inch to 1-1/2-inches in thickness. It features a robust two-piece construction consisting of a brass inner member with precision-milled splines for gas distribution and a heavy-duty copper outer shell. The outer shell is chrome-plated, a critical feature that reflects radiant heat and prevents the adhesion of molten spatter, thereby extending the service life of the nozzle in continuous industrial environments.

Industrial fabricators rely on the 1566HS series for its ability to maintain a stable preheat flame even during rapid acceleration, ensuring consistent cut quality with minimal kerf width and slag accumulation. Whether used in gantry cutting systems or track burners, this nozzle optimizes gas efficiency while maximizing throughput.

FAQ

The 1566HS-1 is designed for use with alternative fuels, specifically Natural Gas and Propane. It is not suitable for Acetylene.

The Size 1 nozzle is rated for cutting mild steel between 3/4 inch (19mm) and 1-1/2 inches (38mm) thick.

While it physically fits Oxweld torches, the 1566HS series is specifically designed for high-speed machine cutting applications where travel speed is mechanically controlled.

HS stands for 'High Speed'. These tips feature a divergent bore that expands the cutting oxygen stream, allowing for faster cutting speeds compared to standard tips.

This is a two-piece tip, consisting of a brass inner member and a copper outer shell, which is standard for alternative fuel nozzles.

The two-piece design can be taken apart for cleaning. The splines on the inner member should be cleaned with a soft brush or chemical cleaner; do not use standard wire tip cleaners on the splines as it may damage the gas passages.

It is compatible with Oxweld-style machine cutting torches, such as the C-67 series.
