16K33 - Purox Style 4206 Series Size 3 Acetylene Gouging Tip

Purox 4206-3: The Specialist for Thin Slice Gouging

When your project demands precise metal removal on sheet metal without the risk of blowing through the material, the Purox 4206-3 Thin Slice Gouging Tip is the tool of choice. Designed for use with acetylene gas, this tip transforms your standard Purox oxy-fuel torch into a precision gouging instrument. It is specifically calibrated to produce a flame profile that washes molten metal away from the groove, leaving a clean, U-shaped cavity. This is ideal for removing tack welds, correcting weld defects, or preparing plate edges for subsequent welding passes on lighter gauge materials.

Engineered for Performance and Longevity

The 4206-3 stands out due to its robust one-piece copper construction. Copper is the material of choice for high-performance tips due to its ability to withstand the intense reflected heat of the gouging process. Inside the tip, the gas passages are formed using a triple swage process, resulting in mirror-smooth walls that optimize gas velocity and mixing. Unlike inferior tips with rough internal surfaces that cause turbulence and flame instability, the Purox 4206-3 delivers a crisp, steady flame. This stability is crucial when performing "thin slice" gouging, where even a momentary fluctuation can mar the workpiece.

Quality You Can Trust

Every Purox 4206-3 tip undergoes rigorous quality control, utilizing CNC drilling technology to ensure perfect port alignment and sizing. This dedication to manufacturing excellence means you spend less time adjusting your torch settings and more time working. The tip seats securely into Purox torch heads, providing a leak-free connection that enhances safety and efficiency. By choosing genuine Purox style consumables, you ensure that your equipment operates at its peak potential, delivering professional results in automotive repair, HVAC fabrication, and general sheet metal maintenance.
