999230 - ESAB Size 200 Oxy-Fuel Heating Tip for Propane/Natural Gas

Heavy-Duty ESAB Heating Tip for Alternative Fuels

The ESAB 999230 is a high-performance Size 200 Rosebud Heating Tip engineered for industrial oxy-fuel applications. Specifically designed for use with alternative fuel gases—such as Propane, Natural Gas, and Propylene—this multi-flame nozzle delivers a substantial BTU output required for heating large metal masses efficiently. Unlike acetylene tips, which are limited by withdrawal rates, this O-FG (Oxy-Fuel Gas) tip allows operators to utilize the high flow rates of propane and natural gas to generate a broad, soaking heat pattern.

Constructed from high-quality copper, the tip is built to withstand the intense reflected heat generated during heavy preheating operations. The #200 size indication denotes a large flow capacity, making it suitable for the most demanding thermal processes found in shipyards, structural steel fabrication, and heavy equipment repair. It features a precision-drilled face that ensures a stable, uniform flame cone, maximizing heat transfer to the workpiece while minimizing fuel waste.

This tip is an essential component for professionals requiring reliable thermal output for tasks such as preheating weldments to prevent cracking, straightening distorted structural beams, or bending large diameter pipes. Users must ensure they utilize a compatible torch handle and high-capacity mixer designed for alternative fuel gases to ensure safe and optimal performance.
