OVERVIEW

Reliable MAPP & Propylene Cutting Tip for Heavy Jobs

When you are out in the field or on the shop floor, you need a cutting tip that can handle the heat and get the job done fast. The ESAB Oxweld 1566HS-6 Nozzle is built for welders who prefer the efficiency and safety of MAPP gas or Propylene (FG-2). This isn't just a standard tip; it's a High-Speed (HS) nozzle designed to help you cut faster and cleaner, saving you time on grinding and cleanup later. If you are running an Oxweld torch like the C-32 or C-66, this is the genuine part you need to keep your equipment running at peak performance.

The Size 6 orifice is a beast, ready to tackle thick steel plate. It is perfect for heavy fabrication, demolition, and structural work where smaller tips just can't cut it. Because MAPP and Propylene burn differently than Acetylene, this nozzle uses a two-piece design. The inner part handles the gas mixing while the heavy-duty copper outer shell protects the tip and shapes the flame. This design gives you the high preheat needed to start cuts quickly, even on dirty or rusty metal.

One of the biggest annoyances in cutting is spatter sticking to your tip and ruining the flame. ESAB has chrome-plated the shell of the 1566HS-6 to help shed spatter, keeping your tip cleaner for longer. When it does need cleaning, the two-piece design comes apart easily, letting you clear out any slag without damaging the precision splines. Don't settle for cheap knock-offs that cause flashbacks or ragged cuts. Stick with the proven quality of Oxweld and get the most out of your fuel gas.

Key Benefits for the Welder:

  • Faster Cuts: High-speed design lets you move the torch quicker without losing the cut.
  • Less Cleanup: Produces a narrower kerf and less slag than standard tips.
  • Tough Build: Chrome plating and solid copper/brass construction withstand daily abuse.
  • Versatile: Works great for both hand cutting and machine track torches.

FAQ

This nozzle is designed specifically for MAPP gas and Propylene (FG-2). It is not suitable for Acetylene.

It fits Oxweld series torches including C-32, C-66, C-77, C-97, CW-23, and CW-300.

A Size 6 nozzle in the 1566 series is typically rated for cutting steel thicknesses between 4 and 6 inches, depending on gas pressures.

The 1566HS-6 is a two-piece tip, consisting of a brass inner member and a copper outer sleeve.

'HS' stands for High Speed, indicating the nozzle is designed for higher cutting velocities compared to standard tips.

No, this is a cutting nozzle. Gouging requires specific gouging nozzles designed to wash metal away rather than sever it.

Since it is a two-piece nozzle, you can separate the inner and outer parts to clean the splines and seating surfaces. Use a soft brush or appropriate tip cleaner, but avoid damaging the splines.

The chrome plating helps prevent molten metal spatter from adhering to the nozzle, extending its life and reducing cleaning time.
