16K47 - Purox 4209 Acetylene Rivet Washing and Gouging Tip

Heavy-Duty Gouging and Rivet Removal

Maximize your torch's versatility with the Purox 4209 Rivet Remover Gouging Tip. Identified by the internal SKU 16K47, this tip is engineered for specific material removal tasks that standard cutting tips cannot handle effectively. It is the tool of choice for welders and fabricators who need to remove rivets, bolts, and other fasteners cleanly and efficiently. The tip's geometry is specifically angled and shaped to direct the oxygen stream parallel to the work surface, allowing the operator to "wash" the fastener head off or gouge out a weld seam with precision.

Advanced Gas Flow Technology

Performance in oxy-fuel cutting and gouging is dictated by gas flow. The Purox 4209 features advanced internal machining, including mirror-smooth gas passages and rounded internal angles. This triple swage interior design minimizes friction and turbulence within the tip. The result is a highly concentrated and stable flame that maintains its shape even when reflected heat is high. This stability gives the operator the control needed to perform intricate gouging work on bucket teeth, wear pads, and structural assemblies without damaging the surrounding steel.

Durability for Tough Environments

Constructed from a solid piece of copper, the 4209 tip is built to last. Copper's excellent thermal properties help dissipate heat rapidly, preventing the tip from overheating during prolonged gouging sessions. This resistance to heat buildup not only extends the life of the consumable but also reduces the risk of flashback, enhancing operator safety. The CNC drilling process ensures that every port is perfectly aligned, providing a uniform preheat flame that brings the workpiece to ignition temperature quickly.

Applications and Versatility

While primarily designed for rivet washing, this tip is also excellent for general gouging applications, such as removing old welds or preparing cracks for re-welding. It is a vital component for maintenance crews in rail yards, shipyards, and heavy equipment repair facilities. Compatible with Purox style torches and designed for acetylene gas, the 16K47 tip is a reliable solution for tough disassembly challenges.
