OVERVIEW

Unleash Maximum Heat with the ESAB 1566HS-8

When you are staring down a thick piece of steel that needs to be bent, straightened, or preheated, you don't have time to wait around for a weak flame. You need the ESAB 1566HS-8 Heating Nozzle. Designed specifically for MAPP and Propylene (FG-2) gases, this heavy-duty "rosebud" tip is built to pour heat into your workpiece fast and efficiently. Whether you are working in a shipyard, a structural steel shop, or out on a pipeline rig, this nozzle gives you the thermal power you need to get the metal moving.

We know that durability matters on the shop floor. Heating tips take a beating—they get dropped, dragged, and exposed to intense reflected heat. The ESAB 1566HS-8 is built tough to withstand the daily grind. The face of the nozzle resists fouling and is easy to clean, ensuring you keep a consistent flame shape day in and day out. Because it is designed for Propylene and MAPP, you get a cleaner burn and a safer operation compared to pushing an acetylene tip beyond its limits. You can run this tip hot and long without worrying about the cylinder withdrawal issues that plague large acetylene setups, meaning less downtime swapping bottles and more time working.

This size 8 nozzle is a beast for preheating. If you are welding thick plate and need to get the temperature up to spec to prevent cold cracking, the multi-flame design spreads the heat evenly, soaking the metal through rather than just scorching the surface. It is also perfect for heat-shrinking applications or freeing up seized heavy machinery parts. The flame stability is excellent, so you won't be fighting pops and backfires every time you get close to a corner or a confined space.

Upgrade your torch setup with the ESAB 1566HS-8. It fits standard heavy-duty handles compatible with ESAB/Oxweld style equipment, making it a versatile addition to your gas rig. Stop struggling with undersized tips or the wrong fuel gas combinations. Grab the right tool for the job and feel the difference that a dedicated high-speed heating nozzle makes in your productivity and weld quality.

FAQ

This nozzle is designed specifically for MAPP gas and FG-2 (Propylene). It should not be used with Acetylene.

This is a size 8 nozzle, which indicates its flow capacity and heat output potential relative to other nozzles in the series.

No, the 1566HS-8 is a multi-flame heating nozzle (rosebud) intended for heating, not cutting. It does not have a central oxygen jet for cutting.

Yes, heating nozzles of this size typically require a high-flow mixer compatible with your specific torch handle to ensure safe and adequate gas flow.

MAPP and Propylene are safer to use at higher volumes and do not have the strict withdrawal rate limitations of Acetylene, making them better suited for large heating tips like the size 8.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Select the wire size that fits the orifices without forcing it, and gently clean out any carbon or slag buildup.

No, it is compatible with heavy-duty handles that accept the 1566 series style connection (typically ESAB/Oxweld style heavy-duty handles). Check your handle's compatibility before purchasing.

The primary applications are preheating, post-heating, bending, straightening, and shrinking of metals.
