08Z86 - Oxweld 1515-19 Acetylene Gouging Nozzle

Precision Gouging with the Oxweld 1515-19

When you need to wash away a bad weld or prep a heavy plate for a full-penetration joint, the ESAB Oxweld 1515-19 (08Z86) gouging nozzle is the tool for the job. This isn't just a modified cutting tip; it's a purpose-built gouging accessory designed to make metal removal fast, clean, and controlled. If you are running an Oxweld torch setup with acetylene, this bent nozzle gives you the visibility and angle you need to see exactly what you are removing.

Why Choose a Bent Nozzle?
Gouging requires a shallow angle to the workpiece to "wash" the metal out rather than cut through it. A straight tip forces you to hold the torch at an awkward, low angle that can be hard on your wrist and puts your hand closer to the heat. The 1515-19 features a built-in bend that allows you to hold the torch comfortably while the tip directs the flame and oxygen stream perfectly into the groove. This means better visibility of the arc and puddle, resulting in smoother grooves that require less grinding afterward.

Performance and Durability
Built to legendary Oxweld standards, this copper nozzle withstands the high reflected heat typical of gouging operations. The preheat flames are tuned for acetylene, providing the intense, focused heat needed to bring the steel to ignition temperature instantly. Once the oxygen lever is depressed, the soft, low-velocity oxygen stream pushes the molten metal away smoothly. Whether you are fixing a crack, removing a tack weld, or prepping a casting, the 1515-19 gives you the control to take off exactly as much metal as you intend, no more, no less.

This nozzle is a direct fit for classic Oxweld handles like the C-32 and C-66. Don't struggle with makeshift solutions for weld removal; equip your torch with the 08Z86 and experience the difference a dedicated gouging tip makes in your workflow.
