CS15026 - Victor CutSkill 1502-6 Oxweld Style Gouging Tip

Victor CutSkill CS15026 OxWeld Style 1502-6 Gouging Nozzle

The Victor CutSkill CS15026 is a specialized gouging nozzle engineered to deliver superior performance in industrial metal preparation and weld removal applications. Modeled directly after the industry-standard Oxweld 1502 series, this size 6 tip is designed for use with oxygen and acetylene gases to perform thermal gouging, a process essential for removing defective welds, preparing plate edges for welding, and washing away rivets or other metal protrusions. The nozzle features a distinctive bent configuration, which is critical for the gouging process; this angle allows the operator to maintain a shallow angle of attack relative to the workpiece, facilitating the smooth washing action of the oxygen stream while keeping the hand and torch at a comfortable elevation.

Manufactured to Victor’s rigorous quality standards, the CS15026 ensures seamless compatibility with Oxweld-style torch handles, including the widely used C-32, C-66, and C-77 models. The tip is constructed from high-durability copper alloy, capable of withstanding the intense reflected heat generated during the gouging operation. Precision-drilled preheat ports surround the central oxygen bore, providing a stable and concentrated preheat flame that rapidly brings the base metal to ignition temperature. The central bore is specifically shaped to expand the oxygen stream slightly, creating a broader, softer washing action compared to the high-velocity stream of a cutting tip. This design characteristic enables the user to create clean, controlled U-grooves with smooth walls, significantly reducing the need for subsequent mechanical grinding or machining.

In MRO and fabrication environments, the reliability of consumables is paramount. The Victor CutSkill 1502-6 offers consistent flow characteristics and flame stability, ensuring that operators can achieve repeatable results shift after shift. Whether used for back-gouging root passes in pressure vessel fabrication or removing cracks in heavy equipment repair, this nozzle provides the control and power necessary for efficient metal removal. The size 6 designation indicates a medium-to-heavy gouging capacity, making it versatile enough for a broad range of material thicknesses and groove dimensions. By integrating the CS15026 into their consumable inventory, facilities can ensure they are equipped with the right tools for thermal gouging tasks, maintaining high productivity and quality standards.
