998820 - ESAB Purox W-17 Oxy-Acetylene Heating Tip Size 70

Maximize Your Heat Output with the ESAB W-17 Rosebud

When you need to bend steel, straighten a warped frame, or preheat a heavy casting, a standard welding tip just won't cut it. You need the raw thermal power of the ESAB 998820 W-17 #70 Heating Tip. Designed to fit the legendary Purox W-17 torch handle, this "Rosebud" style nozzle is a workhorse for any shop dealing with heavy metal fabrication. By distributing the flame across multiple orifices, it generates a massive amount of BTUs, allowing you to bring large workpieces up to temperature in record time.

Time is money in the welding industry, and waiting for metal to heat up with an undersized tip is a waste of both. The #70 size of this tip ensures you have the flow capacity required for demanding tasks. It is perfect for flame straightening, hot bending of pipe and bar stock, and preheating weld joints to drive out moisture and reduce cooling rates. The oxy-acetylene fuel mixture provides the high flame temperature necessary for rapid localized heating, giving you control over the heat-affected zone.

Durability is built into every inch of this ESAB product. The heavy copper head resists deformation and wear, even in harsh shop environments. The threaded connection ensures a secure, leak-free seal with your torch handle, while the precision-drilled ports deliver a stable, consistent flame that won't sputter or pop during operation. Don't limit your W-17 torch to just welding—equip it with the #70 Rosebud and turn it into a versatile heating powerhouse.

Applications

• Flame Straightening: Correcting distortion in welded structures.
