The ESAB 998820 W-17 #70 Heating Tip is a premium oxy-acetylene consumable designed to expand the capabilities of the classic Purox W-17 welding torch handle. Known in the industry as a "Rosebud" due to its multi-flame head configuration, this tip is engineered to deliver a substantial volume of heat quickly and efficiently. It is an essential accessory for fabricators, pipefitters, and maintenance professionals who require precise thermal control for heavy-duty applications.
Constructed from high-grade copper alloy, the tip is built to withstand the intense reflected heat generated during prolonged heating cycles. The #70 size indicates a large flow capacity, making it suitable for working on thicker steel sections, large diameter pipes, and structural components. The multi-port design creates a broad, soft flame that wraps around the workpiece, ensuring even heat distribution. This is critical for processes such as preheating prior to welding, where maintaining specific interpass temperatures is required to prevent cracking and ensure metallurgical integrity.
Safety and precision are paramount in the design of this ESAB tip. The internal geometry is machined to promote smooth gas flow and optimal mixing of oxygen and acetylene, reducing the risk of flashback and backfire when operated within recommended pressure parameters. Whether used for straightening bent shafts, bending flat bar, or freeing seized heavy machinery parts, the W-17 #70 Rosebud provides the thermal horsepower needed to get the job done effectively.
