998773 - ESAB W-300 Series Size 15 Oxy-Acetylene Multiflame Heating Tip

Efficient Preheating and Metal Manipulation

When your project demands serious heat, the ESAB W-300 #15 O-A Rosebud Heating Head delivers. Designed specifically for the professional welder using the W-300 torch platform, this accessory transforms your standard torch into a powerful heating instrument. The "rosebud" style tip features multiple flame ports that work in unison to produce a large, soft, and intense heat soak. This is critical for applications like preheating weldments to prevent cracking, expanding metal for shrink-fitting, or softening steel for bending and shaping.

Running on Oxy-Acetylene, this #15 size tip pumps out approximately 22,000 BTUs of heat energy. This level of output strikes a balance between power and control, making it versatile enough for medium to heavy-duty jobs. Unlike single-flame tips that create hot spots, the multiflame distribution ensures that heat is spread evenly across the workpiece surface. This uniformity is essential for maintaining the metallurgical integrity of the base material during heating processes.

Operational safety and ease of use are built into the specifications of this heating head. It requires a balanced pressure setting of 5-8 PSIG for both oxygen and acetylene. These settings are easily achievable with standard industrial regulators, making setup quick and hassle-free. The tip is constructed from high-quality copper alloys to withstand high reflected heat, a common challenge in heavy heating operations. The robust construction resists deformation and wear, ensuring that the tip retains its shape and flow characteristics even after prolonged use.

For welders who rely on the ESAB W-300 system, this heating head is a non-negotiable accessory. It extends the capability of your torch beyond cutting and welding, allowing you to tackle complex fabrication challenges that require thermal manipulation. Keep your workflow efficient and your results professional with the consistent performance of ESAB's genuine heating nozzles.
