OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty ESAB Heating Tip for Alternative Fuels

The ESAB 999230 is a high-performance Size 200 Rosebud Heating Tip engineered for industrial oxy-fuel applications. Specifically designed for use with alternative fuel gases—such as Propane, Natural Gas, and Propylene—this multi-flame nozzle delivers a substantial BTU output required for heating large metal masses efficiently. Unlike acetylene tips, which are limited by withdrawal rates, this O-FG (Oxy-Fuel Gas) tip allows operators to utilize the high flow rates of propane and natural gas to generate a broad, soaking heat pattern.

Constructed from high-quality copper, the tip is built to withstand the intense reflected heat generated during heavy preheating operations. The #200 size indication denotes a large flow capacity, making it suitable for the most demanding thermal processes found in shipyards, structural steel fabrication, and heavy equipment repair. It features a precision-drilled face that ensures a stable, uniform flame cone, maximizing heat transfer to the workpiece while minimizing fuel waste.

This tip is an essential component for professionals requiring reliable thermal output for tasks such as preheating weldments to prevent cracking, straightening distorted structural beams, or bending large diameter pipes. Users must ensure they utilize a compatible torch handle and high-capacity mixer designed for alternative fuel gases to ensure safe and optimal performance.

FAQ

This tip is designed for alternative fuel gases such as Propane, Natural Gas, and Propylene. It is NOT designed for Acetylene.

No. Using Acetylene with a tip designed for alternative fuels (O-FG) can be dangerous due to different injector ratios and port designs, potentially causing flashbacks or unstable flames.

The #200 indicates the tip's size and flow capacity. In heating terms, a size 200 is a large, heavy-duty tip capable of very high heat output for thick materials.

Yes, large multi-flame heating tips typically require a high-flow mixer and a heavy-duty torch handle to supply the necessary volume of oxygen and fuel gas safely.

Propane is generally more economical than Acetylene and does not suffer from the same withdrawal rate limitations, allowing for much larger heating tips (like this size 200) to be used safely for massive heat output.

No, this is a heating nozzle (rosebud) designed solely for heating operations. It does not have a central oxygen jet required for oxy-fuel cutting.

Standard oxy-fuel safety gear is required: shade 5+ welding goggles or face shield, leather gloves, flame-resistant clothing, and proper ventilation.

Use a tip cleaner set with the appropriate wire sizes for the flame ports. Ensure the tip is cool before cleaning and do not enlarge the orifices.
