ESAB Oxweld 1431 Series Acetylene Cutting Tip - Size 160

Heavy-Duty Cutting Performance with Oxweld Style

When the sparks fly and the metal needs to move, professional welders trust the ESAB Oxweld 1431 Cutting Tip (Size 160). This high-performance acetylene nozzle is built to withstand the rigors of the job site, offering the reliability you need to keep your projects on schedule. Known for their legendary durability, Oxweld-style tips are a staple in the industry, and this genuine ESAB replacement part (SKU: 66Z61) lives up to that reputation.

The 1431 series is designed for those who demand precision and speed. The one-piece copper body is tough enough to handle high-heat environments without warping, ensuring that your flame characteristics remain consistent cut after cut. Acetylene provides the hottest flame temperature of all commercial fuel gases, and this nozzle harnesses that power effectively. The preheat flames are optimized to bring steel to its ignition temperature quickly, while the high-velocity cutting oxygen stream blows through the molten metal to create a clean kerf. This means less time spent grinding and cleaning up edges later.

This specific nozzle is Size 160, a designation for specific cutting capacities within the Oxweld line. It is essential to match your tip size to the thickness of the metal you are cutting to achieve the best results and conserve gas. Using the correct tip size prevents overheating the workpiece and ensures a smooth, drop-cut quality. The seating surface is machined to exact specifications to ensure a leak-proof fit with your Oxweld torch handle or cutting attachment.

Don't compromise on your consumables. Cheap, generic tips often suffer from poor machining, leading to erratic flames and frequent pop-outs. With the ESAB 66Z61, you get a nozzle that lights easily, adjusts smoothly, and holds its flame setting even when the torch gets hot. Whether you are in the shop or out in the field, make sure your torch is equipped with the best. Upgrade your cutting setup with the ESAB Oxweld 1431-160 and experience the difference in quality and control.
