639618 - Oxweld 1567-10 Two-Piece Gouging Nozzle for Propane/Natural Gas

Technical Overview of the Oxweld 1567-10 Gouging Nozzle

The ESAB Oxweld 1567-10 (SKU: 639618) is a specialized two-piece gouging nozzle engineered for use with alternate fuels such as Propane and Natural Gas. Unlike standard cutting tips, the 1567 series is designed to produce a low-velocity, high-volume oxygen stream that washes away molten metal rather than severing it, creating a clean, U-shaped groove. This specific nozzle is sized as a #10, making it suitable for a broad range of industrial gouging tasks including weld removal, crack preparation, and back-gouging of root passes.

Constructed with a heavy-duty copper internal member and a chrome-plated external sleeve, the nozzle offers excellent heat dissipation and resistance to spatter adhesion. The two-piece design allows for efficient preheat gas mixing and flame stability, which is critical when using slower-burning fuels like propane. The internal splines are precision-machined to ensure a uniform preheat flame ring, facilitating rapid starts and consistent gouging depth control. This nozzle is fully compatible with industry-standard Oxweld torches, including the C-32, C-66, C-77, and C-97 models.

Industrial MRO professionals will appreciate the longevity and reliability of the 1567 series. The separation of the internal and external parts allows for easier maintenance and cleaning if slag accumulates. By optimizing the oxygen flow for washing rather than cutting, this nozzle minimizes the need for secondary grinding, thereby increasing throughput in fabrication and repair shops.
