Victor 0387-0144: The Standard for Medium-Duty Acetylene Cutting

Maximize the performance of your oxy-fuel cutting outfit with the Victor 0387-0144 (00-3-101-CS) Cutting Tip. Engineered specifically for use with Acetylene gas, this tip represents the industry standard for general purpose hand cutting. The "3-101" style is designed to fit Victor medium-duty torch handles and cutting attachments, such as the popular 100 series, providing a seamless fit and gas-tight seal for safe operation. With a Size 00 orifice, this tip is calibrated to cut mild steel up to 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick, offering the perfect balance of gas consumption and cutting speed for light-duty applications.

The manufacturing excellence of Victor Technologies is showcased in the one-piece copper construction of this tip. Unlike two-piece tips used for alternate fuels, this acetylene tip combines the preheat and cutting oxygen paths into a solid copper body. This design maximizes thermal conductivity, keeping the tip cooler during operation and reducing the risk of flashbacks. The precision-drilled ports ensure a uniform preheat flame ring, which is critical for quick starts and maintaining the ignition temperature of the steel during the cut. The result is a smooth, high-quality kerf with excellent edge squareness.

This product comes in clamshell packaging, ensuring that the seating surfaces and orifice edges remain pristine during shipping and storage. A damaged tip can lead to erratic flames and poor cut quality, so the protective packaging is a significant benefit for inventory management. For welders and fabricators who rely on their tools daily, the consistency of Victor consumables is unmatched. The 00-3-101-CS is an essential component for anyone performing detailed cutting work on sheet metal, brackets, or light structural components.

When selecting a cutting tip, matching the size to the material thickness is crucial for safety and efficiency. Using a Size 00 for 1/4-inch material prevents overheating the workpiece and wasting gas, while still providing enough energy to clear the molten metal effectively. Upgrade your torch setup with the Victor 0387-0144 and experience the difference that genuine Victor engineering makes in your daily cutting tasks.
