OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Heating Power with ESAB Reliability

The ESAB 998795 Rosebud O-A Tip Assembly #15 is a premier choice for industrial professionals requiring substantial heat output for heavy-duty metalworking. Known in the industry as a "rosebud" due to its multi-flame head configuration, this tip is engineered to deliver a large volume of heat rapidly and evenly across a workpiece. It is specifically calibrated for Oxy-Acetylene gas service, leveraging the high flame temperature of acetylene to perform tasks that require intense thermal energy, such as preheating thick steel plates prior to welding or bending large structural beams.

Constructed from high-quality copper alloy, the tip is designed to withstand the extreme temperatures generated during operation while effectively dissipating heat to prevent damage to the tip itself. The size #15 designation indicates a high capacity, making it suitable for fabrication shops, shipyards, and heavy equipment repair facilities where speed and efficiency are paramount. Unlike single-point cutting tips, the multi-flame design spreads the heat over a wider area, reducing the risk of localized melting while ensuring deep thermal penetration.

At Josef Gas, we understand that precision heating is just as critical as precision welding. Whether you are straightening warped steel sections, shrinking heavy parts for assembly, or preparing materials for cutting, this ESAB heating tip provides the consistent performance you need. Its durable design ensures a long operational life, provided it is used with the correct gas pressures and flow rates. Ensure your oxy-fuel setup is equipped to handle the demands of heavy fabrication with this essential heating component.

Key Applications

  • Preheating: Bringing heavy plate steel to the required temperature before welding to prevent cracking.
  • Bending & Straightening: Applying localized heat to structural steel beams, pipes, and bars to facilitate mechanical bending or to correct warping.
  • Shrink Fitting: Expanding metal components like gears or bearings for assembly onto shafts.
  • Flame Priming: Removing scale and moisture from steel surfaces.

FAQ

This tip is designed specifically for Oxy-Acetylene gas mixtures.

Rosebud refers to the multi-flame configuration of the tip head, which resembles a flower bud and allows for a wide, even heat distribution.

No, this is a heating tip only. It does not have the central oxygen jet required for the oxidation process used in cutting steel.

This tip typically fits heavy-duty ESAB, Oxweld, or Purox style torch handles. Check your torch manual for specific compatibility with size #15 heating heads.

Yes, large heating tips consume a high volume of acetylene. You must ensure your acetylene supply (cylinder size or manifold system) can support the withdrawal rate to avoid drawing acetone from the cylinder.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Select the wire size that matches the flame ports and gently work it in and out to remove carbon buildup without enlarging the holes.

No, this specific model is rated for Acetylene. Propane requires a different tip design (usually with a recessed face or skirt) to maintain a stable flame.

A multi-flame tip puts out significantly more BTUs and spreads the heat over a larger area, reducing the time needed to heat thick metals.
