OVERVIEW

Maximize Productivity with the ESAB 1566HS Cutting Tip

For professional fabricators and steel service centers relying on machine cutting, the ESAB 1566HS-2-1/2 Cutting Nozzle delivers the reliability and speed needed to keep production lines moving. Specifically designed for use with Natural Gas and Propane, this tip allows you to take full advantage of the cost savings associated with alternative fuels without sacrificing cut quality. Whether you are profiling structural shapes or stripping heavy plate, the 1566HS series is built to perform under pressure.

The standout feature of this nozzle is its High-Speed (HS) design. If you are used to standard tips, you will notice the difference immediately: the 1566HS produces a powerful, focused cutting stream that slices through steel faster and cleaner. This means you can increase your machine travel speeds, getting more parts cut per shift. The size 2-1/2 is a heavy hitter, capable of handling substantial material thicknesses, making it a versatile tool for shops that handle a wide range of plate sizes.

Durability is key in industrial environments, and ESAB has addressed this with a rugged two-piece construction and a protective chrome finish. The two-piece design makes it easy to separate the inner and outer parts for thorough cleaning if the tip becomes clogged, extending the usable life of the consumable. Meanwhile, the chrome plating acts as a shield against the inevitable spatter and slag that comes with heavy cutting. Instead of sticking to the nozzle and disrupting the flame, spatter easily wipes away, keeping your cuts smooth and reducing the need for grinding or rework later.

When you install the 1566HS-2-1/2 on your Oxweld machine torch, you are investing in consistency. The heavy preheat flame ensures quick starts, even on cold plate, minimizing the frustration of lost cuts or long preheat cycles. It is a professional-grade consumable for welders and operators who demand precision and efficiency in every cut.

FAQ

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

'HS' stands for High Speed. These tips feature a divergent bore design that increases cutting oxygen velocity for faster travel speeds.

The 1566HS-2-1/2 is a two-piece tip, consisting of a brass inner member and a copper outer sleeve, which is standard for alternative fuel nozzles.

It is designed to fit Oxweld series machine torches that accept 1500 series cutting tips.

Since it is a two-piece tip, you can separate the inner and outer sections to clean the splines and seating surfaces. Use a soft wire brush or appropriate tip cleaner, being careful not to damage the splines.

The chrome plating helps reflect heat and prevents molten slag and spatter from adhering to the nozzle, which extends the tip's life and maintains cut quality.

While it physically fits torches compatible with the series, the 1566HS is optimized for machine cutting where travel speed and stand-off distance are mechanically controlled.

Size 2-1/2 is a large orifice tip intended for heavy plate cutting. Exact thickness ranges depend on gas pressure and machine settings, but it generally covers thick industrial plate ranges.
