OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Tip for Big Jobs

When you're working on thick steel or need to put a lot of heat into a part fast, the ESAB #12A Welding Tip is the tool for the job. This isn't your average small-gauge tip; the #12 size delivers a large, powerful flame perfect for heavy welding, brazing, and heating applications where smaller tips just can't keep up. Whether you are repairing heavy machinery, working on structural steel, or bending thick plate, this tip gives you the heat control you need.

Built from solid copper, this tip stands up to the abuse of the shop. It handles high heat without getting soft or deforming, and it resists spatter buildup so you spend less time cleaning and more time welding. The flame is consistent and easy to set, giving you a nice defined cone that lets you see your puddle clearly. It seats specifically into compatible ESAB and industry-standard torch handles, sealing up tight so you don't have to worry about leaks.

Don't struggle with undersized equipment. Upgrade your torch setup with the ESAB #12A (17266) and get the thermal output required for professional-grade results. It's a reliable workhorse for any welder's kit, ensuring you have the right flame for the heavy stuff.

FAQ

The #12A tip is designed for use with Acetylene gas.

The #12 indicates the orifice size, which determines the gas flow and flame size. A #12 is a large tip suitable for welding thick materials or heating.

No, this is a welding/heating tip. Cutting requires a specific cutting tip with a central oxygen jet.

It is manufactured from a high-quality copper alloy for durability and heat dissipation.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Select the wire size that fits the #12 orifice snugly but without forcing it, and file gently to remove carbon or spatter.

No, it fits specific ESAB/Victor style torch handles or mixers compatible with this series. Always check your torch manual for compatibility.

No, a #12 tip produces too much heat for thin sheet metal and would likely cause burn-through. Use a smaller size (e.g., #0 or #1) for thin materials.

Copper provides excellent thermal conductivity, keeping the tip cooler during operation to prevent flashbacks and extend consumable life.
