33A34 - ESAB 33A34 Oxweld Style Nozzle Retaining Nut

Keep Your Torch Running Smoothly

If you are running an Oxweld torch, you know that the nozzle nut is one of those small parts that makes a big difference. The ESAB 33A34 is the genuine replacement nut you need for your 1400 series or compatible C-style cutting torch. Over time, heat, spatter, and constant changing of tips can wear out your old nut. Threads get stripped, the face gets banged up, or it just gets covered in slag that won't come off. When that happens, you can't get a good seal on your cutting tip, and that means trouble.

A bad seal isn't just annoying—it's dangerous. It can cause popping, backfires, or leaks that waste gas and ruin your cut. This brass nozzle nut is built to take the heat of daily cutting jobs. It screws on smooth and holds your tip tight, so you can focus on following your line rather than worrying about your torch acting up. It’s made of heavy-duty brass that resists seizing, so when it's time to swap out a tip for a different thickness of steel, you aren't fighting with the torch.

Don't let a $20 part shut down your $100/hour job. Keeping a spare 33A34 in your toolbox is a smart move for any serious burner or fabricator. Whether you are working in a fab shop, on a pipeline, or doing scrap demolition, having a fresh nozzle nut ensures your flame stays true and your equipment stays safe. It fits standard Oxweld setups, making it a drop-in replacement for your worn-out hardware.

Practical Tips

When installing, make sure the threads on your torch head are clean. Screw the nut on by hand first to avoid cross-threading, then snug it up with your wrench. You don't need to kill it—just get it tight enough to seat the tip. If you see gas leaking around the nut during your leak test, it's time to replace it. This simple maintenance step keeps your cuts clean and your torch safe.
