OVERVIEW

Maximize Your Burn Table Efficiency with ESAB 1566HS Series

If you are running a mechanized cutting table or a track torch setup using Propane or Natural Gas, speed and cut quality are your primary metrics for success. The ESAB 1566HS-1/2 Nozzle is built to push those metrics to the limit. Designed as a direct upgrade for standard tips, the "HS" stands for High Speed, and it delivers exactly that. By using advanced internal geometry, this tip shapes the cutting oxygen stream into a laser-like jet that cuts faster and cleaner than conventional nozzles. This means you can increase your machine's travel speed, getting more parts cut per shift without sacrificing edge quality.

We know that in a production environment, downtime is the enemy. That is why the 1566HS features a durable, chrome-plated outer shell. Unlike bare copper tips that attract spatter like a magnet, this chrome finish sheds molten slag, keeping your tip clean and your preheat holes open. This reduces the frequency of tip cleaning and extends the overall lifespan of the consumable. The two-piece design is specifically engineered for the unique burning characteristics of Propane and Natural Gas, providing a heavy preheat flame that starts cuts quickly, even on primed or scaly plate.

Whether you are cutting structural shapes, base plates, or intricate profiles, the 1566HS-1/2 gives you the control you need. The cut face is smoother, often reducing or eliminating the need for secondary grinding. It fits perfectly into your existing Oxweld C-32 or C-66 machine torches, making it a hassle-free swap for better performance. Stop letting slow cutting speeds be the bottleneck in your fabrication process. Equip your machine with ESAB 1566HS nozzles and experience the difference that high-velocity oxygen technology makes in your daily production.

FAQ

This nozzle is designed exclusively for use with Natural Gas and Propane. It is not suitable for Acetylene.

'HS' stands for High Speed. These tips feature a divergent bore that accelerates the cutting oxygen, allowing for faster machine travel speeds.

The 1566HS-1/2 is a two-piece tip, consisting of a brass inner member and a chrome-plated outer shell, which is standard for alternate fuel gases.

It is compatible with Oxweld style machine torches, such as the C-32, C-66, and similar models that accept 1500 series tips.

While it physically fits Oxweld torches, the 1566 series is optimized for machine cutting. For hand cutting, the 1500 series (like the 1502) is typically recommended.

The chrome plating reflects radiant heat and prevents molten slag and spatter from adhering to the tip, extending its lifespan in high-heat machine cutting environments.

The size 1/2 is typically designed for cutting steel plate around 1/2 inch thick, though operators should consult the specific ESAB cut charts for exact pressure and speed settings.

Yes, as with all two-piece tips, ensure the inner and outer members are seated correctly and the nut is tightened securely to prevent leaks and ensure proper flame characteristics.
