ESAB 1566HS Size 10 High Speed Machine Cutting Tip for Propane/NG

ESAB 1566HS-10: The Standard for Propane & Natural Gas Cutting

Welders and fabricators relying on machine torches for heavy plate processing know that the quality of the cut starts with the tip. The ESAB 1566HS-10 (SKU: 0558005081) is a top-tier machine cutting nozzle designed to deliver exceptional results using Propane or Natural Gas. Unlike standard acetylene tips, the 1566HS series features a heavy preheat capacity and a high-speed divergent bore for the cutting oxygen. This aerodynamic design expands the oxygen stream as it exits the tip, maintaining a coherent, high-velocity jet that blasts through steel cleanly and quickly.

Built for Durability and Speed
Machine cutting often involves long duration burns and high heat reflection. The 1566HS-10 handles these conditions with ease thanks to its two-piece construction. The separation of the inner and outer parts allows for easy maintenance and cleaning, ensuring that gas passages remain unobstructed for optimal flame characteristics. The copper outer shell effectively dissipates heat, while the chrome plating prevents spatter from adhering to the tip face. This means you spend more time cutting and less time scraping slag off your consumables.

Optimized for Alternative Fuels
With the rising cost and handling requirements of acetylene, many shops have switched to Propane or Natural Gas for their machine cutting tables. The 1566HS-10 is specifically calibrated for these slower-burning fuels. It provides a stable, anchor-point preheat flame that brings the steel to ignition temperature rapidly, even on dirty or scaled plates. The Size 10 specification indicates its suitability for thicker material ranges, making it a workhorse for structural steel yards and heavy equipment manufacturing.

Seamless Integration
This nozzle is a direct fit for Oxweld-style machine torches. If your setup utilizes the classic Oxweld seating, the 1566HS-10 will drop right in, providing a leak-proof seal and reliable performance. Upgrade your cutting table's efficiency with a nozzle that combines speed, durability, and precision.
