65Z44 - Oxweld 1808 Size 30 Acetylene Cutting Tip

Get Clean Cuts Every Time with Oxweld

If you are running an Oxweld torch, you know that the quality of your cut depends almost entirely on the condition of your tip. The ESAB Oxweld 1808 Size 30 Cutting Tip (65Z44) is the direct replacement you need when your old tip starts sputtering or blowing slag. Designed specifically for Acetylene gas, this one-piece copper tip is built to handle the heat. The Size 30 is your go-to size for medium-to-heavy plate, capable of slicing through steel up to 2 inches thick with ease.

Why stick with genuine Oxweld tips? It comes down to the flame. Cheap knock-offs often have uneven preheat flames or a wandering cutting stream, which leads to jagged edges and wasted metal. This ESAB-manufactured tip features perfectly aligned preheat holes that bring your base metal to ignition temperature evenly and quickly. Once you hit the cutting oxygen lever, the high-velocity stream punches through the steel cleanly, leaving a smooth edge that often requires little to no grinding. This saves you time and effort on every project.

Installing the 65Z44 is straightforward. It fits all standard Oxweld cutting attachments and hand torches. Just make sure your torch head and the tip seating area are clean before tightening the nut. A good seal is critical for safety and performance. This tip is ideal for everything from cutting I-beams on a construction site to chopping up scrap in the yard. The solid copper alloy resists spatter adhesion better than brass, and it stands up well to the accidental bumps and scrapes that happen in real-world welding shops.

Don't let a clogged or damaged tip slow you down. Keep a few of these Size 30 nozzles in your kit so you are always ready for thicker steel. Remember to set your regulator pressures according to the manufacturer's chart for a Size 30 tip to get the best performance and gas economy. With the right settings and a fresh Oxweld 1808 tip, you'll be making cuts that look like they were done by a machine.
