Heating Tip 8X12MM

8 x 12 Heating Tip – Oxy/Acetylene

The 8 x 12 Heating Tip is a high-capacity oxy-acetylene heating nozzle designed for rapid, concentrated heat application across a wide range of industrial and fabrication tasks. Featuring twelve preheat orifices arranged around a central oxygen jet, this tip delivers an even flame pattern and excellent heat distribution, making it ideal for heavy-duty heating, bending, straightening, preheating, shrinking and thermal expansion applications.

Suitable for use with compatible heating attachments and oxy-acetylene equipment, the 8 x 12 Heating Tip provides a balance of heat intensity and gas efficiency for workshops, maintenance teams, metal fabricators and industrial users.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty oxy-acetylene heating tip
• Twelve-port preheat design for uniform heat distribution
• Suitable for heating, bending, straightening and preheating applications
• Robust construction for industrial environments
• Compatible with standard oxy-acetylene heating attachments
• High heat output for fast workpiece heating

Technical Specifications

Note: The above information represents typical operating ranges only. Actual performance may vary depending on equipment condition, operator technique, tip condition, gas purity, regulator performance and material type being heated.

Recommended Applications

• Plate and structural steel heating
• Heat straightening and distortion correction
• Preheating prior to welding
• Shrink fitting and thermal expansion work
• General fabrication and maintenance operations
• Heavy industrial heating tasks

Understanding the Size Designation

The "8 x 12" designation refers to the heating tip size and port configuration. Larger heating tips deliver greater heat output and faster heating rates, making them suitable for thicker materials and larger workpieces. The 8 x 12 size is commonly selected where substantial heat input is required without moving to very large specialist heating equipment.

Operator Guidance

For optimum performance, set regulator pressures to the recommended values shown above and adjust the flame to a neutral oxy-acetylene flame. Ensure flashback arrestors are fitted to both oxygen and acetylene lines and follow all relevant safety procedures when operating oxy-fuel equipment.

Heat Output: Approximately 180 MJ/h, providing significant heating capacity for demanding industrial applications.
