Oxweld 4217 Series Size 2 Internal Propane Cutting Tip

Precision Cutting with Oxweld 4217 Size 2 Internal Tips

Maximize the performance of your oxy-fuel cutting setup with the Oxweld 4217 Size 2 Internal Nozzle. Designed for professional welders and fabricators who prefer the economy and availability of propane or natural gas, this tip represents the internal "spline" section of Oxweld's high-performance two-piece nozzle system. When paired with the required 4219 external sleeve, it creates a powerful, focused preheat flame capable of piercing and cutting steel efficiently.

The Size 2 classification makes this tip perfect for detailed work on thinner materials. It is rated for cutting steel plate between 1/8-inch and 3/8-inch thick. Using a tip sized correctly for the material is crucial for minimizing heat distortion, reducing gas consumption, and achieving a clean face that requires little to no post-cut grinding. The splined brass construction is engineered to withstand the intense heat of the cutting zone while maintaining consistent gas flow geometry.

Two-piece tips like the 4217/4219 combination are superior for alternative fuels because they allow the preheat gas to expand and anchor properly, preventing the flame from blowing off the tip end—a common issue when trying to use single-piece acetylene tips with propane. By separating the internal gas distribution from the external shield, Oxweld ensures reliable ignition and sustained cutting speeds.
