Victor 285N Series Heavy Duty Propane Cutting Tip Size 0.312

Victor 285N Series: The Ultimate Heavy Cutting Solution

When your project involves cutting steel up to 26 inches thick, standard equipment simply won't cut it. The Victor 0336-0042 .312-285N Cutting Tip is built for the extreme. Designed as a size 0.312 (5/16") tip, it provides the massive gas flow required to penetrate and sever heavy steel blocks, risers, and structural members. This tip is part of Victor's renowned 285N series, engineered specifically for use with Propane and Natural Gas, making it a cost-effective choice for high-volume, heavy-duty cutting tasks.

Two-Piece Design for Superior Performance

The 0336-0042 utilizes a two-piece construction, a hallmark of high-performance alternate fuel tips. This design includes a heavy copper shell and a brass inner splined insert. The configuration allows for a recessed flame face, which protects the tip from the intense heat reflected by thick materials and ensures the preheat flame remains anchored and stable. This stability is crucial when initiating cuts on 20-inch thick steel, where preheat time and flame consistency directly impact the quality of the cut face.

Compatibility and Specifications

This tip is exclusively compatible with Victor HC 1500C torches, the heavyweights of the manual cutting world. It is not designed for standard hand torches, ensuring that it is only paired with equipment capable of handling the necessary gas volumes safely. With recommended fuel pressures of 15-20 PSIG and cutting oxygen pressures up to 45 PSIG, this tip turns your HC 1500C into a powerhouse capable of tackling the toughest jobs in the yard. Upgrade your heavy cutting setup with genuine Victor consumables for unmatched longevity and cut quality.
