639620 - Oxweld 1567-3 Acetylene Gouging Tip

Precision Acetylene Gouging Nozzle

The ESAB Oxweld 1567 Series Gouging Nozzle (SKU: 639620) represents a specialized consumable designed for the precise removal of metal using the oxy-acetylene process. Engineered by Oxweld, a brand synonymous with industrial gas equipment reliability, this Size 3 nozzle is optimized for gouging applications where control and visibility are paramount. Unlike standard cutting tips, the 1567 series features a bent configuration, typically angled to allow the operator to maintain a proper gouging angle relative to the workpiece while keeping the hand and torch handle at a comfortable distance.

Constructed from high-grade tellurium copper or similar durable alloys, the nozzle is designed to withstand the intense reflected heat generated during the gouging process. The internal geometry of the tip is specifically calibrated for acetylene gas, ensuring a stable preheat flame that rapidly brings the base metal to ignition temperature. The oxygen stream is shaped to wash away molten metal smoothly, creating a clean groove with minimal slag adherence. This makes it an essential tool for removing defective welds, preparing plate edges for welding (J-grooves or U-grooves), and removing tack welds or temporary attachments.

The Size 3 designation indicates the specific orifice diameter and flow capacity, making it suitable for light to medium gouging tasks. It is fully compatible with standard Oxweld heavy-duty torches such as the C-32, C-66, and similar models that accept Oxweld-style seating. Industrial maintenance teams and fabricators rely on the 1567 series for its consistency and the high quality of the finished groove, which often requires minimal secondary grinding before re-welding.
