0558005029 - ESAB Oxweld 1567 Series Gouging Nozzle - Size 1/2 - MAPP/Propylene

ESAB 0558005029: Heavy-Duty Gouging Performance

Maximize your metal removal efficiency with the ESAB 1567-1/2 Gouging Nozzle (0558005029). Designed for professional fabricators and MRO specialists, this nozzle transforms your standard oxy-fuel torch into a powerful gouging tool. It is optimized for MAPP and FG-2 (Propylene) fuel gases, offering a safer and often more economical alternative to acetylene for heating and washing applications. The 1567 series is a staple in the industry, known for its ability to produce clean, consistent grooves with minimal slag adherence.

The key to this nozzle's performance lies in its specialized geometry. It utilizes a two-piece construction consisting of a sleeve and an insert. This design is essential for burning alternate fuels efficiently; the recessed tip protects the flame front and allows the slower-burning gases to anchor properly. The result is a high-intensity preheat flame that wraps around the oxygen stream. When the cutting oxygen is engaged, the nozzle delivers a soft, voluminous stream that "washes" the metal away rather than piercing it, allowing the operator to control the depth and width of the groove with precision.

Key Applications

• Weld Removal: Efficiently remove defective welds without damaging the base metal or surrounding structure.
• Crack Preparation: Excavate cracks in castings or structural members to ensure full-penetration repairs.
• Plate Edge Preparation: Create J-grooves or U-grooves on thick plates prior to welding.
• Pad Washing: Remove temporary attachments, lifting eyes, or backing strips flush with the workpiece.

This specific model, the 1567-1/2, is sized for medium-to-heavy duty work. It fits compatible Oxweld and Purox torches equipped for alternate fuel usage. The durable construction withstands the intense reflected heat typical of gouging operations, ensuring a long service life. By using the correct nozzle for the job, you not only improve the quality of your work but also reduce gas consumption and cleanup time. Equip your torch with genuine ESAB consumables for results you can trust.
