Victor 285N Series: The Heavy Industry Standard

When the job calls for cutting steel over a foot thick, the Victor 0336-0041 .250-285N Cutting Tip is the tool of choice. This Size 0.250 tip represents the upper echelon of cutting capacity, rated for material thicknesses ranging from 14 inches up to 20 inches. It is a specialized component designed for use with Propane and Natural Gas, leveraging a two-piece design that separates the preheat splines from the outer shell. This configuration is essential for alternative fuels, as it creates a recess that anchors the flame at the tip end, preventing blowout and ensuring a consistent, hot preheat even in windy or drafty conditions.

Compatibility and Performance

The 0336-0041 is engineered for the HC 1500C heavy-duty torches. These torches and tips are typically found in foundries, demolition sites, and heavy fabrication shops. The tip's robust construction withstands the intense reflected heat generated when piercing and cutting thick plate. By utilizing Propane or Natural Gas, operators can achieve significant cost savings over Acetylene without sacrificing the ability to cut massive sections of ferrous metal.

Precision Pressure Control

Success with such heavy cuts depends on correct gas management. This tip is rated for a cutting oxygen pressure of 25-45 PSIG, which provides the necessary velocity to clear the kerf of molten slag. Preheat oxygen should be set to 25-50 PSIG, with fuel pressure at 15-20 PSIG. Proper settings not only improve cut quality but also enhance safety and efficiency. Trust genuine Victor parts to maintain the performance integrity of your heavy-duty cutting outfit.
