998736 - Oxweld 1567 Series Acetylene Gouging Nozzle - Size 12

High-Performance Oxy-Acetylene Gouging

The ESAB Oxweld 1567 Series Gouging Nozzle (Part Number 998736) is a specialized consumable designed for heavy-duty metal removal and surface preparation. Engineered for use with acetylene gas, this Size 12 nozzle provides the thermal intensity and flow characteristics necessary to wash away molten metal effectively. It is an essential tool for fabricators and maintenance professionals requiring precise control during weld removal, crack excavation, and edge preparation.

Robust Construction

Manufactured from high-quality copper, the 1567 nozzle features a one-piece design that maximizes thermal conductivity, preventing overheating during prolonged use. The exterior is chrome-plated, a signature feature of premium Oxweld tips, which serves a dual purpose: it reflects radiant heat to keep the nozzle cooler and provides a slick surface that resists the adhesion of molten spatter. This durability ensures a longer service life compared to standard bare copper tips.

Optimized Design

The nozzle features a bent configuration, specifically angled to allow the operator to maintain the correct gouging angle relative to the workpiece while keeping the torch handle in a comfortable position. This ergonomic advantage is critical for maintaining consistent groove depth and width. The internal geometry is precision-drilled to produce a stable preheat flame and a focused cutting oxygen stream, ensuring clean, smooth grooves with minimal slag adherence.

Compatibility

This nozzle is designed to fit standard Oxweld hand cutting torches, including the C-32, C-66, and C-77 series, as well as compatible machine torches. It integrates seamlessly with the torch head nut, ensuring a leak-free gas seal for safe operation.
