OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Heating Power with Propane Economy

When you need to put a lot of heat into a workpiece without burning through expensive acetylene, the ESAB Size 3 Propane/NG Heating Nozzle is your go-to tool. Designed specifically for the unique characteristics of propane and natural gas, this "rosebud" style tip delivers a massive soak of heat, making it perfect for preheating thick steel plate, bending pipe, or straightening warped structural members.

Why Choose Propane for Heating?
While acetylene burns hotter, propane produces a higher total BTU output at a much lower cost, making it ideal for heating large areas where you need to soak the metal rather than pierce it. This nozzle is engineered to keep that propane flame stable and fierce, even when you are really cranking up the regulators. The heavy-duty construction means it stands up to the rough conditions of the shop or field, resisting damage from reflected heat.

Application Versatility
Use this nozzle for removing seized bearings, preheating cast iron, or preparing structural steel for welding. The Size 3 capacity offers a great balance of power and control, giving you enough heat for heavy jobs without being unwieldy. Simply attach it to your compatible ESAB torch setup, set your pressures, and you are ready to work.

FAQ

No, this nozzle is designed specifically for Propane or Natural Gas. Using it with Acetylene can cause dangerous flashbacks or overheating due to different burn velocities.

The '3' refers to the nozzle size category (Size 3), and '200MM' typically relates to the ESAB sizing standard for heating capacity or length, indicating it is a medium-to-heavy duty heating tip.

This nozzle is designed to fit standard ESAB heating attachments and torch handles that accept this style of heating tip. Please check your torch manual for specific shank compatibility.

Yes, you should use regulators rated for Propane (often marked for LP Gas) to ensure proper flow rates and safety, although the oxygen regulator remains the same.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Select the wire size that fits the orifices snugly without forcing it, and move it in and out to remove carbon buildup. Do not use a drill bit.

No, this is a heating nozzle (often called a rosebud) designed solely for heating metal, not cutting it.

Propane is generally much cheaper than Acetylene and provides a higher total BTU output for 'soaking' heat into large, thick materials, even though the flame temperature is slightly lower.
