ESAB Purox W-17 Style Multi-Flame Heating Head #150 (Oxy-Acetylene)

Turn Up the Heat with the W-17 Rosebud

When you need to bend a stubborn steel bar or preheat a thick casting, a standard welding tip just won't cut it. You need volume, and you need it fast. That's where the ESAB Purox W-17 Multi-Flame Heating Head (#150) comes in. Known in the trade as a "rosebud," this attachment turns your standard Purox W-17 torch handle into a flamethrower capable of dumping serious BTUs into your workpiece. It’s the tool you grab when you need to make metal move.

Built for the Shop

This isn't a flimsy aftermarket knock-off; it's a genuine ESAB part (SKU 11X24) designed to withstand the abuse of a busy fab shop. The solid copper head handles high heat without melting down, and the precision-drilled ports ensure you get a clean, even flame pattern every time you light up. The #150 size is a perfect middle-ground workhorse—big enough to heat up structural steel and pipe, but manageable enough for general repair work. It runs on Oxy-Acetylene, giving you the hottest flame chemistry available for rapid heat transfer.

Why You Need This in Your Kit

Every welder knows that preparation is half the battle. Whether you are trying to free a rusted nut, straighten a warped frame, or preheat a joint to meet code requirements, having a dedicated heating tip is non-negotiable. Instead of dragging out a separate heavy-duty heating torch, you just swap this head onto your W-17 handle, and you're ready to go. It saves you time, space, and money.

• Fast Heating: Get to temperature quicker so you can get the job done.
• Even Distribution: No hot spots; just smooth, soaking heat.
