16Y85 - ESAB Oxweld C-62 Replacement Mixer Tube 16Y85

Precision Gas Mixing for Industrial Cutting

The ESAB 16Y85 Mixer Tube is a critical internal component engineered specifically for the renowned Oxweld C-62 series of hand cutting torches. In the realm of oxy-fuel cutting, the mixer plays a pivotal role in safety and performance; it is the chamber where high-pressure oxygen and fuel gas meet to form the preheat flame. The 16Y85 is manufactured to exacting OEM specifications, ensuring that this volatile mixture is controlled precisely to prevent backfires and flashbacks while delivering maximum thermal energy to the workpiece.

Constructed from high-quality industrial brass, this mixer tube is designed to endure the extreme thermal cycles and mechanical rigors associated with heavy fabrication, scrap cutting, and demolition work. Over time, mixer tubes can become fouled with carbon deposits or damaged by heat, leading to turbulent gas flow and unstable flames. Replacing a compromised mixer with the genuine ESAB 16Y85 restores the laminar flow characteristics required for a neutral flame, thereby optimizing cut quality and gas consumption. This component fits seamlessly into the C-62 torch head assembly, maintaining the structural integrity and balance of the tool.

Industrial MRO professionals understand that maintaining the integrity of gas apparatus is non-negotiable for shop safety. The 16Y85 represents ESAB's commitment to quality, offering a reliable solution for torch maintenance that meets original factory standards. Whether for routine maintenance or emergency repair, this mixer tube is the definitive part for ensuring your C-62 torch operates within its safe design parameters.
