Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the recommended material thickness for the No.3 nozzle?

This nozzle is specifically designed for use with 2.0mm plate thickness.

Can I use this with any welding torch?

No, this nozzle must be used with compatible lightweight shanks and mixers.

What does the 'swaged' design offer?

Swaged construction provides a smooth, tapered internal geometry that promotes better gas flow and a more stable, focused flame.

How many nozzles come in a pack?

This product is supplied as a 2-pack.

Is this nozzle suitable for heavy plate welding?

No, this nozzle is engineered for precision work on thinner materials (2.0mm) and should not be used for heavy-duty, thick structural steel welding.

Troubleshooting

Unstable or flickering flame

Ensure the nozzle is tightened securely to the mixer and check for any blockages in the orifice tip.

Excessive soot buildup

Adjust your oxygen-to-acetylene mixture; an overly fuel-rich mix often causes soot accumulation.

Nozzle overheating

Verify that you are using the correct tip size for the application and ensure the flame is not being directed too closely to the base metal for extended periods.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable copper construction ensures longevity
  • Lightweight design reduces operator fatigue
  • Excellent for precision brazing and thin plate welding
  • Comes in a convenient 2-pack for high availability

Cons

  • Limited to 2.0mm plate thickness applications
  • Requires specific lightweight shank and mixer compatibility
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty structural welding

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper performance, always verify that your welding shank and mixer are of the 'lightweight' variety, as heavy-duty hardware will not seat correctly with this nozzle. Before lighting, inspect the nozzle orifice for any debris that could disrupt gas flow. After use, allow the nozzle to cool completely before removal to avoid damaging the threads. When not in use, store these nozzles in a dry environment to prevent oxidation and keep the internal passages clean.
