0330-0166 - Victor Series 207 Propane Rivet Cutting Tip Size 4

Heavy-Duty Rivet Washing for the Pros

When the job calls for busting rivets on a rail car or stripping structural steel, you need a tip that can take the heat. The Victor 0330-0166 Series 207 Cutting Tip is the professional welder's choice for propane-based rivet washing and heavy cutting. This Size 4 tip is built to handle material thicknesses up to 3 inches, making it an absolute workhorse for railroad applications, bridge repairs, and demolition yards. If you are running propane to keep fuel costs down without sacrificing cut quality, this is the specialized tip you need in your torch kit.

The Series 207 design is all about control and power. Rivet blowing is an art that requires washing away the fastener head without gouging the plate underneath. This tip delivers a preheat pattern and cutting stream specifically shaped for this purpose. With a fuel pressure requirement of just 6-9 PSIG, it efficiently utilizes propane to generate the BTUs needed for rapid preheating. Once the metal is ready, the high-velocity oxygen stream (40-50 PSIG) blasts through the steel at speeds of up to 11 inches per minute. This efficiency translates directly to labor savings on the job site, allowing crews to process more rivets per hour with less fatigue.

Victor has long been the gold standard in oxy-fuel equipment, and the 0330-0166 exemplifies their commitment to quality. The tip features robust construction that resists the spatter and high reflected heat typical of rivet washing operations. The seating surfaces are machined to tight tolerances to ensure a gas-tight seal with the torch head, minimizing the risk of leaks and ensuring safe operation. Using the correct tip for your fuel gas is critical; this propane-specific nozzle ensures the flame doesn't lift off or pop out, providing a steady, aggressive cone that gets the work done.

Don't settle for general-purpose tips when you have specific work to do. The geometry of the 207 series allows for better visibility and angle management when attacking rivets from the side or top. Whether you are in the shop or out in the field, having the right consumables makes all the difference. Equip your torch with the Victor 0330-0166 and experience the difference that a purpose-built rivet cutting tip makes in your daily workflow.
