Oxweld 1567 Acetylene Gouging Tip - 1/2 Inch

Blast Through Metal with the Oxweld 1567

When you need to remove a bad weld, prep a crack for repair, or dig out a root pass, you don't reach for a grinder—you reach for the Oxweld 1567 Gouging Nozzle. This 1/2-inch tip is built for serious metal removal. Designed to run on acetylene, it delivers the intense heat you need to start the puddle instantly and keep it moving. Unlike a cutting tip that slices straight down, this gouging nozzle is designed to wash the metal away, leaving you with a clean, U-shaped groove that is ready for re-welding.

The 1/2-inch size is a workhorse in the shop. It’s big enough to hog out significant material on heavy structural steel, yet controllable enough to follow a crack without destroying the surrounding parent metal. The nozzle typically features a slight bend, which is a game-changer for comfort and visibility. It lets you hold the torch at the perfect low angle, pushing the molten slag away from you while you watch the groove form. This means less operator fatigue and better results at the end of the shift.

Durability is key in any gouging operation, where heat and spatter are constant enemies. That’s why this Oxweld tip comes with a tough chrome coating. Spatter doesn't stick to it like it does to bare copper, so you spend less time scraping your tip and more time working. The seats are machined to seal tight against your torch head, preventing dangerous leaks and ensuring you get full flow for maximum power. If you are running Oxweld torches in your rig, this is the genuine part you need to keep them performing at their peak.

Stop fighting with carbon arc rods or burning through grinding wheels. For clean, quiet, and fast metal removal, the oxy-acetylene gouging process with the 1567 tip is unmatched. It’s perfect for shipyard work, heavy equipment repair, and structural steel fabrication. Equip your torch with the 1567-1/2 and experience the difference that a dedicated gouging nozzle makes in your workflow.
