0330-0145 - Victor 2-1-200 Propane Cutting Tip Size 2

Technical Specifications: Victor 0330-0145 Series 1 Type 200

The Victor 0330-0145 is a Series 1, Type 200 cutting tip specifically engineered for Propane and Natural Gas service. This tip, identified as Size 2, provides a cutting range focused on 1-inch (25.4mm) mild steel, making it an essential component for heavy fabrication and demolition tasks. Unlike acetylene tips, the Type 200 (often referred to as GPN style) utilizes a recessed tip face and heavy preheat splines to anchor the flame, compensating for the lower flame propagation speed of alternative fuels. This design ensures a robust preheat cone that resists blowing out even in windy field conditions or during aggressive cutting maneuvers.

Operational Parameters:
To achieve optimal performance, operators should adhere to the manufacturer's recommended pressure settings. For the Size 2 tip, the cutting oxygen pressure should be set between 35 and 45 PSIG, while the fuel gas pressure (Propane/Natural Gas) should be maintained between 4 and 9 PSIG. When set correctly, this tip supports cutting speeds of 12 to 18 inches per minute (IPM), balancing speed with cut quality. The one-piece copper alloy construction provides excellent thermal conductivity, keeping the tip cooler during extended operation and reducing the risk of flashbacks.

Compatibility and Application:
This tip is designed to fit Victor 300 Series torch handles and other compatible equipment accepting Series 1 consumables. It is suitable for both hand-held and machine torch applications. The 2-1-200 is ideal for straight line cutting, beveling, and piercing on carbon steel plates. Regular maintenance, including cleaning the preheat splines and the cutting oxygen bore with appropriate tip cleaners, will extend the service life of the tip and maintain the integrity of the flame stream. Ensure your equipment is rated for propane service (including T-grade hoses) when utilizing this tip.
