Victor Size 10 HDNL Propane Cutting Tip for 18-Inch Steel

Cut Through 18 Inches of Steel with the Victor 10-HDNL

When you are staring down a slab of steel that is a foot and a half thick, standard cutting tips just aren't going to cut it—literally. That is where the Victor 10-HDNL (0330-0547) comes into play. This isn't your everyday fabrication tip; this is a heavy-duty beast designed for the serious welder, scrapper, or demolition expert who needs to sever massive sections of metal. Rated to cut up to 18 inches (457mm), this Size 10 tip turns your hand torch into a heavy artillery tool capable of slicing through thick castings, risers, and structural beams that would stop lesser equipment in its tracks.

One of the biggest advantages of the 10-HDNL is its optimization for Propane and Natural Gas. We all know acetylene is great for a hot preheat, but when you are doing heavy cutting, it can get expensive and unstable at high volumes. Propane and Natural Gas are safer, cheaper, and more readily available for the long burn times required to cut through 18 inches of material. This tip is designed with a one-piece construction that withstands the intense reflected heat of heavy cutting, ensuring the tip doesn't overheat or foul up halfway through a critical cut. The preheat flames are engineered to keep that massive cross-section of steel at ignition temperature, allowing the oxygen stream to do its work efficiently.

Using this tip requires respect for your setup. You need to be running high-flow regulators and have enough gas supply to feed the beast. With a cutting oxygen pressure requirement of 60-100 PSIG, you are pushing a lot of oxygen to clear the kerf in an 18-inch cut. The fuel pressure range is flexible, handling anywhere from 5-15 PSIG on standard lines or higher pressures if you are running off a natural gas main. It is built for hand torches, giving you the control to attack scrap and demolition projects from angles that machine torches can't reach.

If your daily grind involves shipbreaking, heavy equipment repair, or processing large scrap metal, the Victor 0330-0547 is the tip you keep in your kit for the "big jobs." It’s reliable, it’s durable, and it carries the Victor name, so you know the flame characteristics will be consistent. Don't struggle with undersized tips that blow back or lose the cut; step up to the Size 10 HDNL and get the job done right the first time.
