0558005020 - Oxweld 1500 Series Propane Cutting Tip Size 2 (2-Piece)

Technical Precision with the Oxweld 1500 Series Nozzle

The ESAB Oxweld 1500 Series #2 Cutting Nozzle (SKU: 0558005020) represents the gold standard in oxy-fuel cutting technology for alternative fuels. Engineered specifically for use with Propane and Natural Gas, this nozzle utilizes a sophisticated two-piece design consisting of an internal member (Part #639619) and an external sleeve (Part #639322). This configuration is critical for alternative fuels, which require a different mixing and velocity profile compared to acetylene to achieve a stable, high-temperature preheat flame.

The internal nozzle features precision-machined splines that channel the preheat gases, creating a focused and intense flame cone that rapidly brings the base metal to kindling temperature. The external nozzle acts as a protective shield and a final shaping chamber for the flame, ensuring that the cutting oxygen stream remains laminar and effective over greater distances. This separation of components also allows for easier cleaning and maintenance, as the external sleeve can be replaced independently if damaged by slag or spatter.

Designed to fit all standard Oxweld cutting torches and attachments compatible with the 1500 series (such as the C-32 and C-66), this Size #2 tip is calibrated for cutting mild steel ranging from approximately 1 inch to 1-1/2 inches in thickness. The robust construction ensures durability in harsh industrial environments, making it a reliable choice for structural fabrication, scrap yards, and heavy equipment repair. By optimizing the gas flow for propane, this nozzle eliminates the common issues of flame blowout and slow preheat times often associated with inferior generic tips.
