Victor 1-HPN Heavy Preheat Propane Cutting Tip Size 1

Cut Through the Grime with the Victor 1-HPN

Every welder knows that real-world cutting isn't always on clean, shiny steel. When you are out in the yard dealing with scrap, demolition, or repairing heavy equipment, you need a torch tip that doesn't mess around. Enter the Victor 1-HPN (0333-0323). This isn't your standard general-purpose tip; the "HPN" stands for Heavy Preheat, and it lives up to the name. Designed specifically for Propane and Natural Gas, this tip throws out a serious amount of heat, allowing you to blast through rust, mill scale, and primer without losing your cut.

The Size 1 orifice is perfectly dialed in for 3/4-inch plate, covering a huge range of common fabrication and repair tasks. Because propane burns differently than acetylene, having a tip like the HPN is crucial—it uses a recessed, two-piece design to anchor the flame and prevent it from blowing out when you trigger the cutting oxygen. This means less frustration, fewer restarts, and faster job completion. Whether you are beveling a pipe or chopping up structural beams, this tip gives you the thermal punch you need.

Durability is key in the field, and Victor's brass construction holds up to the heat and abuse of daily use. The two-piece design also makes cleaning easier if you happen to get some slag blowback. If you are running a Victor torch on alternative fuels and find yourself waiting too long for the steel to get red hot, swap in an HPN tip and feel the difference. It’s the professional's choice for heavy-duty scrapping and structural work.

Why Choose HPN?

• Faster Starts: Aggressive preheat flame gets you cutting sooner.
• Dirty Metal Master: Cuts through rust and scale that stop other tips cold.
• Propane Efficiency: Optimized specifically for LP gas characteristics.
