16K12 - Purox 4202 Series Size 6 Acetylene Cutting Tip

Reliable Cutting for Heavy Plate

When your project demands cutting through thick steel plate, the ESAB Purox 4202 Series Size 6 Cutting Tip is the tool you need in your arsenal. Built to handle material up to 6 inches thick, this acetylene nozzle is a workhorse for structural steel workers, scrap yards, and heavy fabrication shops. The 16K12 model is a genuine ESAB part, ensuring that you get the quality and longevity expected from the Purox trade name. Unlike generic replacements that may sputter or clog easily, this tip delivers a stable, consistent flame that helps you make clean cuts with minimal slag accumulation.

Versatility is a key advantage of the 4202 series. It is designed for both general-purpose hand cutting and machine cutting applications. If you are prepping pipe or plate for welding, the medium preheat characteristic of this tip makes it excellent for beveling edges. The six preheat holes provide enough heat to maintain the cut even at angles, ensuring your weld prep is smooth and ready for the next step. The one-piece copper design stands up to the rigors of the job site, resisting damage from heat reflection and accidental bumps better than multi-piece alternatives.

Operating this tip is straightforward for experienced oxy-fuel users. With an acetylene setting of just 10-12 PSIG and oxygen between 60-70 PSIG, you can achieve cutting speeds of up to 9 inches per minute. The clean kerf it produces reduces the amount of grinding and cleanup required after the cut, saving you time and effort. Whether you are dismantling heavy machinery or fabricating structural components, the ESAB 16K12 nozzle provides the power and precision necessary to get the job done efficiently. Ensure your torch is equipped with the best consumables to maintain safety and productivity on the floor.
