11X26 - ESAB W-17 Style Size 250 Oxy-Acetylene Rosebud Heating Tip

Turn Up the Heat with the W-17 Rosebud

When you need to bend a one-inch steel plate or preheat a heavy casting, a standard welding tip just won't cut it. You need volume, and you need it fast. The ESAB 11X26 Multi-Flame Heating Head is the heavy hitter you grab when it's time to bring the heat. Designed to fit your trusty W-17 or W-26 torch handle, this Size 250 rosebud turns your oxy-acetylene rig into a massive heat pump, delivering the BTUs required to manipulate stubborn metal.

This isn't a delicate instrument; it's a workhorse. The multi-flame face creates a broad, soaking heat that penetrates deep into the metal, making it perfect for straightening bent frames, forming heavy brackets, or getting a pipe red-hot for bending. Because it uses acetylene, you get that intense, concentrated temperature that gets the job done quicker than propane alternatives, saving you gas and time on the clock. The copper construction sheds heat effectively, keeping the tip from overheating during those long heating cycles.

If you are working in structural steel, heavy equipment repair, or industrial fabrication, having a 11X26 in your kit is non-negotiable. It snaps right onto your existing heavy-duty handle, meaning you don't need a dedicated heating torch—just swap the head and go. Whether you are freeing a seized nut on a bulldozer or preheating a joint for a critical weld, this heating head gives you the thermal power to control the metal, rather than letting the metal control you.
