15X44 - ESAB 1806 Series Scarfing Tip Size 62

Reliable Scarfing for Clean Metal Surfaces

When you need to clean up a steel surface, remove an old weld, or wash away cracks on a heavy billet, the ESAB 15X44 Scarfing Nozzle is the tool for the job. Part of the trusted 1806 series, this #62 size tip is built for welders and fabricators who handle heavy-duty surface preparation. Scarfing is a tough process that generates a lot of heat and sparks, and you need a nozzle that won't overheat or clog up halfway through the job. ESAB has designed this tip using high-quality copper that dissipates heat quickly, keeping the tip cooler and preventing the end from deforming under stress.

The performance of the 15X44 is all about the flame. It produces a wide, flat washing action that allows you to sweep across the metal surface smoothly. This is much more efficient than trying to use a standard cutting tip for gouging. The preheat flames are arranged to bring the base metal to ignition temperature rapidly, while the central oxygen stream washes the molten metal away cleanly. This leaves you with a smooth, bright surface that is ready for further processing or welding. The #62 size offers a good balance of power and control, giving you the ability to remove significant material without digging too deep if you don't intend to.

Fitting this nozzle to your torch is straightforward, designed to seat securely into 1806-style scarfing torches. A good seal is vital for safety and to prevent popping or backfires. Once installed, you will notice the stability of the flame immediately. It doesn't flutter or wander, which gives you the confidence to make long, continuous passes. This consistency is crucial when you are trying to salvage a valuable piece of metal or prepare a critical joint.

Maintenance of the tip is also easier thanks to its smooth finish, which resists spatter build-up. If you do get some slag on the face, it cleans off relatively easily compared to lower-quality tips. For professional fabricators and mill workers, the ESAB 15X44 is a dependable workhorse that helps you get the dirty work done faster and with better results. It’s a solid investment for anyone doing serious gouging or desurfacing work.
