16K47 - Purox 4209 Acetylene Rivet Washing and Gouging Tip

Precision Rivet Washing with Purox 4209

The Purox 4209 Rivet Remover Gouging Tip (SKU: 16K47) is a specialized oxy-acetylene consumable designed for the rigorous demands of industrial maintenance and heavy equipment repair. Unlike standard cutting tips that are engineered to sever metal plates, this gouging tip is crafted to wash away metal fasteners, such as rivets and frozen bolts, with exceptional control. This capability makes it an indispensable tool for professionals working on structural steel, bridge maintenance, and heavy earth-moving machinery where bucket teeth and wear plates frequently require replacement.

Superior Construction and Performance

Manufactured from a single piece of high-quality copper, the Purox 4209 ensures maximum heat conductivity and longevity. The manufacturing process utilizes precise CNC controlled drilling, which guarantees that every tip performs consistently right out of the box. The internal geometry features a triple swage design with mirror-smooth gas passages. These rounded internal angles reduce turbulence, allowing for a laminar gas flow that produces a stable, high-velocity preheat and cutting oxygen stream. This efficiency is critical when performing delicate washing operations where the goal is to remove the fastener without gouging the expensive base material underneath.

Optimized for Heavy Industry

This tip is particularly favored in the mining and construction sectors for maintaining excavator buckets and bulldozer blades. The "washing" action allows operators to quickly slice through the heads of rivets or the shafts of seized bolts, facilitating rapid disassembly of worn components. The tip's durability means it can withstand the reflected heat typical of gouging operations better than multi-piece alternatives. Whether you are in a fabrication shop or out in the field, the Purox 4209 delivers the reliability needed to keep downtime to a minimum.

Compatibility and Use

Designed to fit standard Purox cutting torches, this tip integrates seamlessly into your existing oxy-fuel setup. It is optimized for use with acetylene gas, providing the high flame temperature required for rapid starts and efficient metal removal. By choosing genuine Purox consumables, you ensure safety, performance, and compatibility with your welding and cutting equipment.
