1501-4 - Oxweld Style 1502 Series Acetylene Cutting Tip - Size 4

Technical Overview

The Generic 1501-4 Cutting Tip is a high-quality aftermarket replacement designed to meet the specifications of the Oxweld 13A81 part number. Engineered for the professional fabrication environment, this tip belongs to the 1502 series style, making it fully compatible with standard Oxweld cutting torches such as the C-32, C-66, and C-77 models. The tip utilizes a one-piece copper alloy construction, which is essential for managing the high thermal loads generated during heavy cutting operations.

This specific model is a Size #4 tip, calibrated for use with Oxygen and Acetylene gas. The internal geometry is precision-drilled to ensure a stable preheat flame and a coherent cutting oxygen stream. With a cutting capacity of approximately 3 inches (depending on gas pressure and operator technique), it is suitable for structural steel fabrication, demolition, and heavy maintenance tasks. The seating surface is machined to tight tolerances to ensure a leak-free seal within the torch head, maintaining safety and efficiency during operation.

Operational Specifications

Operators should ensure their regulators are set to the appropriate pressures for a Size #4 tip to maximize performance and prevent backfires. The copper material provides excellent durability against heat and spatter adhesion, though regular maintenance with a proper tip cleaner is recommended to maintain the integrity of the preheat holes. This unit serves as a direct, cost-effective alternative to OEM consumables without compromising on cut quality or safety standards.
