0558005095 - ESAB Oxweld 1566HS-3/4 MAPP/Propylene Heating Tip

ESAB 0558005095 1566HS-3/4 Heating Nozzle for MAPP/Propylene

Maximize your oxy-fuel heating efficiency with the ESAB 1566HS-3/4 Heating Nozzle, part number 0558005095. This specialized multi-flame tip is specifically designed for use with MAPP gas, Propylene, and other propylene-based fuel gases, offering a high-performance alternative to acetylene heating for heavy industrial applications. The "HS" designation stands for High Speed, indicating its ability to deliver rapid heat transfer to the base metal, which is critical for maintaining productivity in high-volume fabrication and repair settings.

The 1566HS-3/4 features a robust multi-port design that generates a large, bushy flame capable of soaking heat deep into thick steel sections. This makes it the ideal choice for applications requiring uniform temperature distribution, such as preheating weldments to prevent cracking, flame straightening distorted structural beams, or hot forming metal parts. The nozzle's internal geometry is precision-machined to ensure stable gas flow and optimal mixing of oxygen and fuel gas, resulting in a clean, hot flame that resists backfire and popping even under demanding conditions.

Technical Compatibility: This nozzle is designed to mount directly onto heavy-duty Oxweld torch handles, specifically the W-17, W-22, and W-26 series. It is not compatible with standard medium-duty handles or acetylene gas. Operators must ensure they are using the correct fuel gas regulators and hoses rated for MAPP/Propylene to ensure safety and performance. The "3/4" size designation indicates a substantial flow capacity, suitable for heating large surface areas quickly.

Investing in genuine ESAB/Oxweld consumables ensures longevity and reliability. The copper and brass construction of the 1566HS-3/4 provides excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to spatter adhesion. For welders and fabricators looking to leverage the cost savings and availability of alternative fuel gases without compromising on heating power, this nozzle is the professional standard.
