998738 - Oxweld 1567-8 Propane Cutting Tip Size 8

Heavy-Duty Propane Cutting Performance

The ESAB Oxweld 1567-8 Cutting Tip (SKU: 998738) is a premium consumable designed for industrial oxy-fuel cutting applications utilizing alternate fuels such as propane or natural gas. As part of the renowned Oxweld 1567 series, this nozzle features a two-piece construction consisting of a brass inner member with splined gas passages and a copper outer shell. This design is critical for alternate fuels, which have a lower flame propagation rate than acetylene; the recessed tip end creates a stable anchoring point for the flame, preventing blow-off even at high pressures.

The "Size 8" designation indicates a large orifice diameter intended for severing thick materials, typically ranging from 8 to 12 inches in thickness. The tip is engineered with "Heavy Preheat" characteristics, meaning the splines allow for a substantial volume of preheat gas flow. This is essential when piercing or starting cuts on heavy plate, castings, or forgings where heat dissipation is rapid. The outer shell is chrome-plated, a signature feature of high-quality Oxweld tips, which significantly reduces the adherence of molten slag and spatter, thereby extending the service life of the nozzle and reducing downtime for cleaning.

Compatibility is key in MRO environments. This tip is designed to seat perfectly in Oxweld injector-style torches, including the C-31, C-32, C-66, C-77, and C-97 hand torches, as well as compatible machine torches. The precision manufacturing ensures a leak-proof seal and optimal gas mixing ratios, providing a clean, smooth cut face with minimal kerf width for the size.
