Harris Style 6290G Size 2 Acetylene Gouging Nozzle

Wash Away Welds with the 6290G-2

Every welder knows the pain of having to remove a bad weld or prep a crack in a heavy casting. Grinding is slow, noisy, and messy. That's where the 6290G-2 gouging tip comes in. Designed to fit your trusty Harris-style torch, this tip turns your cutting setup into a powerful gouging tool. Instead of cutting straight through the steel, the 6290G series is shaped to scoop out metal, letting you "wash" away old welds or create a U-groove for deep joint penetration.

This is a Size #2 tip, which is a great all-rounder for general fabrication and repair work. It gives you enough control to scarf off a reinforcement without digging too deep, but it has enough flow to hog out material when you need to open up a crack. Because it runs on acetylene, you get that hot, concentrated preheat that starts the puddle instantly, so you aren't sitting there waiting while the plate heats up. The bent shape of the tip allows you to hold the torch at a low angle, pushing the molten slag away from you for a clean, smooth groove.

If you are running a Harris handle and cutting attachment, you don't need a whole new carbon arc setup to do gouging. Just swap out your cutting tip for this 6290G-2, adjust your pressures, and you are ready to go. It's perfect for field repairs on heavy equipment, fixing structural steel defects, or just cleaning up a messy profile. Rugged, reliable, and ready for work, this tip is a must-have in your torch kit.
