639322 - Oxweld 1566HS High Speed Propane/Natural Gas Cutting Tip - 1/2 Inch

High-Performance Machine Cutting Solution

The ESAB Oxweld 1566HS Series External Natural Gas/Propane Nozzle is a premium consumable designed to elevate the performance of oxy-fuel cutting operations utilizing alternative fuels. Engineered specifically for the unique combustion characteristics of natural gas and propane, this nozzle features a high-preheat design that compensates for the lower flame temperature of these gases compared to acetylene. This ensures rapid piercing times and sustained thermal energy transfer, which is critical for maintaining cut quality and preventing drag lines on the cut face.

This specific SKU is calibrated for a cutting capacity of 1/2 inch, making it an essential component for fabrication shops processing medium-gauge mild steel. The "HS" designation stands for High Speed, indicating the nozzle's ability to support faster travel speeds without compromising flame stability. This is achieved through a precision-engineered two-piece construction, consisting of a heavy-duty outer shell and a splined internal member. This design not only optimizes gas flow dynamics for a coherent cutting stream but also simplifies maintenance, as the components can be separated for thorough cleaning of carbon deposits or slag.

Durability is a hallmark of the Oxweld brand, and the 1566HS series is no exception. The nozzle is constructed with high-quality copper alloys and often features a chrome plating to resist spatter adhesion, thereby extending the service life of the tip in high-duty cycle environments. Whether employed in automated shape-cutting machines, track burners, or hand-held torches, this nozzle delivers consistent, slag-free results. It is fully compatible with standard Oxweld torch systems, allowing for seamless integration into existing production lines. By optimizing fuel efficiency and cutting speed, the 1566HS series helps industrial operations reduce their cost per foot of cut while maintaining rigorous quality standards.
