Victor Type 108 Size 2 Boiler Acetylene Cutting Tip

Victor 2-1-108 Acetylene Tip for Boiler Applications

When working on boiler systems, accessibility is often the biggest challenge. The Victor 2-1-108 Acetylene Cutting Tip (SKU: 0330-0063) is the professional's solution for these tight spaces. Designed as a "Boiler Tip," its shortened length allows welders and fabricators to maneuver the torch head inside tubes and confined areas where standard long tips simply cannot fit. This Size 2 tip provides the perfect balance of heat and cutting power, capable of slicing through steel up to 1 inch thick with ease.

Optimized for Acetylene

This tip is calibrated specifically for Acetylene gas, known for its high flame temperature and fast preheating capabilities. To achieve optimal results, the recommended settings are a cutting oxygen pressure of 40-45 psig and an acetylene pressure of 3-7 psig. These parameters ensure a clean kerf and minimal slag accumulation, reducing post-cut grinding and cleanup time. With a total oxygen consumption of 150-160 cfh during the cut, the tip maintains a powerful stream that clears molten metal effectively, achieving cutting speeds of up to 19 inches per minute.

Durability and Versatility

Constructed from solid brass, the Victor 2-1-108 is built to last. It resists deformation from heat and is rugged enough for daily use in heavy industrial settings, including shipyards, power plants, and fabrication shops. While it excels in boiler tube repair, its 1-inch cutting capacity makes it a valuable asset for general fabrication and structural steel repair as well. By keeping a Type 108 tip in your kit, you ensure you are prepared for jobs requiring both standard cutting power and exceptional maneuverability.
