65Z05 - Oxweld 1418 Acetylene Gouging Tip Size 14

Precision Oxy-Acetylene Gouging Performance

The ESAB Oxweld 1418 Series Acetylene Gouging Nozzle (Size 14) represents the gold standard in oxy-fuel metal removal technology. Designed for professional fabricators and industrial maintenance teams, this nozzle transforms standard cutting torches into powerful gouging tools capable of washing away old welds, preparing plate edges for welding, and removing cracks with exceptional precision. The 65Z05 model is specifically engineered for use with acetylene gas, leveraging the high flame temperature to rapidly bring the base metal to ignition temperature for efficient grooving.

Manufactured from a high-grade copper alloy, the 1418 series features a robust one-piece construction. This design methodology maximizes thermal conductivity, keeping the tip cooler during the intense heat reflection experienced during gouging operations. The internal geometry is precision-machined to produce a low-velocity oxygen stream that washes molten metal away smoothly rather than severing it like a cutting tip. This results in a clean, U-shaped groove that often requires minimal secondary grinding before re-welding.

This Size 14 nozzle is a heavy-duty consumable suitable for substantial metal removal rates. It is fully compatible with the legendary Oxweld torch line, including the C-32, C-66, C-77, and C-97 models. Whether utilized in a hand torch for repair work or a machine torch for automated edge preparation, the ESAB 65Z05 delivers consistent flame characteristics and reliable performance in demanding environments.
