The Oxweld 1567 Series Gouging Nozzle (SKU: 639615) is a specialized oxy-fuel consumable designed for the rapid removal of metal through the gouging process. Engineered by ESAB under the renowned Oxweld brand, this nozzle is specifically calibrated for use with alternate fuel gases, primarily Propane and Natural Gas. Unlike standard cutting tips that project a high-velocity oxygen stream straight through the workpiece to sever it, this gouging nozzle features a large, low-velocity oxygen bore and a bent configuration. This design allows the operator to direct the oxygen stream along the surface of the base metal, washing away molten material to create a controlled "U" groove.
The 1/4-inch size designation refers to the approximate width and depth capability of the gouge under nominal operating conditions. The nozzle utilizes a heavy-duty construction to withstand the intense reflected heat generated during the gouging process. The preheat orifices are optimized for the combustion characteristics of propane, ensuring a stable flame that maintains the puddle temperature required for continuous gouging without the flame snapping out. This nozzle is compatible with industry-standard Oxweld torches, including the C-32, C-66, C-77, and C-97 models. It is an essential component for industrial fabrication environments where weld removal, crack repair, and edge preparation are frequent tasks.
Technically, the 1567 series employs a design that balances preheat intensity with oxygen volume. The use of propane as a fuel gas for gouging is often preferred in heavy industry due to its lower cost and availability compared to acetylene, as well as the softer flame profile which can be beneficial for washing operations. This nozzle requires appropriate pressure settings to function correctly; operators should consult the specific Oxweld pressure charts for the 1/4-inch 1567 tip to ensure optimal performance and safety.
