0004450096 - ESAB GPB Propane Cutting Nozzle 100-200mm Heavy Duty

Cut Thick Steel with Confidence Using ESAB GPB Nozzles

When you are staring down a 6-inch or 8-inch slab of steel, you need a cutting tip that won't quit halfway through the job. The ESAB GPB Propane Cutting Nozzle (100-200mm) is built exactly for these heavy-duty scenarios. Designed to harness the efficiency of propane or natural gas, this nozzle delivers the high heat output and stable flame structure necessary to pierce and slice through massive steel sections. Unlike standard general-purpose tips, the GPB series is optimized to handle the specific flow rates and burn velocities of propane, giving you a pre-heat that starts cuts faster and maintains the puddle better on thick plate.

The two-piece design is a favorite among professional cutters for a reason. It allows for easy cleaning and maintenance—if the outer shell gets damaged or spattered, it can often be cleaned or replaced without discarding the entire assembly. The inner brass splines create a focused, intense pre-heat cone that wraps around the cutting oxygen stream. When you hit the oxygen lever, this nozzle delivers a powerful, non-turbulent jet that blows slag out of the kerf cleanly, leaving you with a smooth face that requires minimal grinding. This is essential when working on structural steel or scrapping heavy machinery where time is money.

Safety and durability are paramount in heavy cutting. The copper outer shell effectively dissipates heat, keeping the tip cooler during long cuts and reducing the chance of overheating or backfire. The 100-200mm range gives you incredible versatility at the top end of manual cutting capacities, allowing you to tackle jobs that would otherwise require a lance or machine torch. Whether you are in a scrap yard, a demolition site, or a heavy fabrication bay, having this nozzle in your kit ensures you are ready for the big stuff.

To get the best results, ensure your regulator pressures are set correctly for the thickness you are cutting. Propane requires different settings than acetylene, and this large orifice tip will demand significant oxygen flow. Once dialed in, you will find the cut is smooth, the slag is easy to remove, and the nozzle lasts cut after cut. Upgrade your torch setup with ESAB quality and experience the difference in your heavy plate work.
