Welders and fabricators looking to leverage the cost benefits and availability of propane or natural gas will find the Victor 2-GPN-CS Cutting Tip (0387-0174) to be an essential addition to their torch kit. Designed for heavy-duty applications, this Size 2 tip provides a clean and powerful cut on steel plates between 1 inch and 1.5 inches thick. By utilizing a specialized two-piece design, Victor has optimized this tip to handle the slower burn velocity of alternative fuels, ensuring that you get a stable, hot preheat flame that rivals acetylene performance in many general-purpose applications.
The construction of the GPN series sets it apart. The tip comprises a brass inner spline and a copper outer sleeve. This two-piece assembly allows for easy cleaning and maintenance; the outer sleeve can often be removed to clean the splines of soot or debris. More importantly, the recess created by the outer sleeve protects the preheat flames, keeping them anchored even when the torch is moved aggressively. The heavy copper exterior is highly conductive, dissipating heat rapidly to prevent the tip from overheating during prolonged cuts. This durability makes the 2-GPN ideal for scrap cutting, demolition, and structural fabrication where tips are subjected to intense reflected heat.
Compatibility is key for any professional welder. This tip fits all standard Victor Series 1 cutting attachments and hand torches, such as the industry-standard CA2460. It is not compatible with medium-duty (Series 3) torches, so verify your equipment series before purchasing. When set up with the correct pressure settings—typically 35-40 PSI for oxygen and 5-15 PSI for fuel gas—the Victor 2-GPN produces a smooth kerf with square top edges and minimal dross, reducing the need for post-cut grinding. Invest in genuine Victor consumables to ensure your cuts are precise, your flame is stable, and your operation remains safe.
