998593 - Oxweld 4216-8 Acetylene Heating Tip Size 8

Unleash Maximum Heat for Bending and Straightening

When you are wrestling with bent frames, warped plates, or need to preheat a massive casting, a standard welding tip just won't cut it. You need the Oxweld 4216-8 Heating Nozzle. Often referred to as a "rosebud" due to its multi-flame face, this tip is a powerhouse for acetylene users. The Size 8 configuration dumps a massive amount of BTUs into your workpiece quickly, allowing you to get the metal to a plastic state for easy bending, straightening, or forming.

The 4216-8 is built by ESAB (under the legendary Oxweld brand) to take a beating. The heavy copper head resists damage from reflected heat, which is common when you are working in tight corners or on large flat surfaces. If you are running an Oxweld W-17 or W-26 handle, this tip screws right in and balances perfectly, giving you the control you need without excessive hand fatigue. It’s the go-to tool for blacksmithing, structural repair, and heavy equipment maintenance.

Using the right tip for the job is critical for safety and efficiency. The 4216 series is designed specifically for acetylene, ensuring a stable flame that doesn't pop or sputter when you need it most. Whether you are shrinking a stretched panel or preheating a joint to prevent cracking, the 4216-8 gives you the consistent, soaking heat required to do the job right the first time. Don't struggle with undersized tips; upgrade your heating game with this heavy-duty nozzle.
