998274 - ESAB 1568 Series Propane Gouging Nozzle Size 19

ESAB 1568 Series Gouging Nozzle - Size 19

Maximize your oxy-fuel efficiency with the ESAB 998274, a Size #19 gouging nozzle from the trusted 1568 Series. Engineered for compatibility with Oxweld C-32, C-66, and similar torches, this nozzle is optimized for Fuel Gas (FG) service, including Propane and Natural Gas. It provides a robust solution for operators who require controlled metal removal and groove preparation without the high cost or handling requirements of acetylene.

The geometry of the 1568 Series is specifically tailored for gouging. Unlike a standard cutting tip which focuses the oxygen stream to pierce and sever, this gouging nozzle expands the oxygen stream to wash metal away laterally. The Size #19 orifice delivers a substantial volume of oxygen, making it suitable for deep gouging passes on carbon steel. Whether you are back-gouging a root pass or removing temporary lifting lugs, this nozzle offers the control and power needed for precise work.

Technical Advantages

The nozzle utilizes a two-piece design standard for alternative fuel tips. The external copper sleeve resists heat adhesion and spatter, while the internal brass splines ensure proper gas mixing. Because propane and natural gas have lower flame propagation speeds than acetylene, the recessed tip end and internal splines act to anchor the flame, preventing blow-offs during aggressive gouging maneuvers.
