FAQs

What material thicknesses can this nozzle cut?

The nozzle is suitable for plate thicknesses ranging from 3mm to 6mm with the smallest tip, 5mm to 12mm with the middle tip, and 10mm to 75mm with the largest tip. The specific range depends on the tip size used.

What gas is this nozzle designed for?

This nozzle is specifically designed for high-velocity gases such as acetylene.

How do I choose the right tip size?

Select the tip size based on the thickness of the metal you need to cut. Refer to the specified ranges for each included tip size (1/32", 3/64", 1/16").

What does 'one-piece construction' mean for gas economy?

One-piece construction refers to the nozzle body being a single, solid piece, which is designed to optimize gas flow and reduce waste, leading to improved gas economy compared to multi-part designs.

How should I clean the nozzle?

After the nozzle has cooled completely, use a soft brush or a specialized nozzle cleaning tool to gently clear any debris or slag from the orifices. Avoid using abrasive materials that could damage the tip.

Is this nozzle compatible with all cutting torches?

This nozzle is designed for standard oxy-acetylene cutting torches. It is recommended to verify compatibility with your specific torch model before use.

Troubleshooting

Unstable flame or cutting inconsistency

Ensure the correct tip size is used for the material thickness. Check for proper gas pressure settings and clean the nozzle orifices for any obstructions.

Difficulty piercing or cutting through metal

Verify that the correct tip size and gas pressures are set for the material. Ensure the preheat flame is adequate before initiating the cutting oxygen stream.

Excessive slag

Adjust cutting speed and ensure the correct tip size and gas pressures are used. Move the torch at a consistent pace for a cleaner cut.
