Oxweld 4217 Series Acetylene Gouging Tip Size 1/2

Clean Grooves with the Oxweld 4217-1/2

When you need to remove a bad weld or prepare a crack for repair, precision is everything. The Oxweld 4217-1/2 Acetylene Gouging Nozzle is your go-to tool for creating clean, controlled grooves without the noise and sparks of carbon arc gouging. Built by ESAB under the legendary Oxweld brand, this tip is designed to help you wash away metal smoothly, leaving a bright, clean surface ready for re-welding.

This isn't just a modified cutting tip; it's a dedicated gouging nozzle. The tip geometry is engineered to angle the oxygen stream perfectly for digging into the base metal and pushing the slag away. Whether you are working on mild steel plate or repairing heavy equipment, the size 1/2 orifice gives you the control you need for medium-depth grooves. Because it runs on acetylene, you get that intense, focused preheat that allows for a quick start and fast travel speeds.

Durability is built right in. The one-piece copper construction handles the reflected heat of gouging better than multi-piece tips, meaning you spend less time changing tips and more time working. It fits directly onto your standard Oxweld torches like the C-32 or C-66, so there's no need for special adapters. If you are looking for a smoother, quieter way to gouge, load up your torch with the Oxweld 4217-1/2.
