Victor Type HPN Size 12 Heavy Preheat Propane/Natural Gas Cutting Tip

Heavy-Duty Cutting Power with the Victor 12-HPN

When the job calls for cutting through steel over a foot thick, standard equipment just won't cut it. The Victor 12-HPN Cutting Tip (0333-0332) is the beast you need for the heaviest industrial fabrication and demolition work. Designed to slice through up to 18 inches of material, this tip turns your torch into a heavy-duty cutting station. Whether you are processing massive scrap in a yard, dismantling heavy machinery, or working on thick structural steel, the Size 12 HPN tip delivers the deep, penetrating heat and oxygen flow required to get the job done.

One of the biggest challenges with thick steel is getting the cut started and maintaining it through dirty or coated surfaces. The "Heavy Preheat" feature of this tip is a game-changer. It throws out a massive amount of heat using Propane or Natural Gas, allowing you to punch through rust, mill scale, and paint that would snuff out lesser tips. This makes it ideal for beveling edges on heavy plate or working in scrap yards where material conditions are far from perfect.

Using Propane or Natural Gas not only saves money on fuel costs compared to acetylene but also provides the specific burn characteristics needed for deep cuts. The Victor 12-HPN is built tough with solid brass construction to withstand the intense reflected heat of heavy cutting. If your daily grind involves severing steel slabs or heavy I-beams, this is the reliable, high-capacity tip that will keep your production moving efficiently.
