65Z44 - Oxweld 1808 Size 30 Acetylene Cutting Tip

Industrial Grade Precision for Heavy Fabrication

The ESAB Oxweld 1808 Series Cutting Nozzle (Size 30), identified by SKU 65Z44, represents the gold standard in oxy-acetylene cutting technology. Designed for professional fabricators and industrial maintenance teams, this nozzle is engineered to deliver consistent, high-quality performance in demanding environments. The 1808 series is renowned for its robust one-piece copper construction, which maximizes heat dissipation and durability, reducing the risk of tip overheating during prolonged cutting operations.

This specific Size 30 nozzle is calibrated for cutting mild steel with a thickness of approximately 2 inches (50mm). It features precision-drilled preheat ports and a central cutting oxygen orifice that have been swaged to ensure laminar gas flow. This attention to internal geometry results in a stable, focused flame that produces clean kerfs with minimal slag accumulation, significantly reducing post-cut grinding and cleanup time. For industrial procurement managers, choosing genuine ESAB consumables means investing in reliability and safety, ensuring that your workforce is equipped with tools that meet rigorous manufacturing standards.

Compatibility is key in mixed-fleet environments. The 65Z44 fits standard Oxweld style torches, including the popular C-31, C-32, and C-66 series, making it a versatile addition to your tool crib. The seating surfaces are machined to tight tolerances to ensure a gas-tight seal within the torch head, preventing dangerous flashbacks and leaks. Whether used in structural steel fabrication, scrap yards, or heavy equipment repair, the Oxweld 1808 Size 30 nozzle provides the thermal efficiency and cutting speed required to maintain high productivity levels.

Proper maintenance of the nozzle face and orifices will extend the service life of this consumable. We recommend using appropriate tip cleaners designed for the specific drill sizes of the 1808 series to avoid altering the flame characteristics. By standardizing on high-quality ESAB consumables, operations can achieve more consistent cut quality across different shifts and operators.
