0333-0415 - Victor Size 4 GTB Propylene Gouging Tip for Machine Torches

Get Clean Gouges with the Victor 4-GTB Propylene Tip

When you need to wash out an old weld or prep a seam for a re-weld, precision and speed are everything. The Victor 4-GTB Bent Gouging Tip (SKU: 0333-0415) is built to handle the heat and grit of the shop floor. Designed specifically for machine torches running Propylene, this Size 4 tip is your go-to consumable for removing metal on thicknesses between 1/4 inch and 3/4 inch. Whether you are working in structural steel fabrication or performing heavy equipment repair, this tip helps you strip away unwanted metal cleanly, leaving a groove that is ready for the next step in your fabrication process.

Why a Bent Tip?
You might be used to straight tips for hand torches, but in machine setups, the angle is everything. The "Bent" design of the GTB series allows your machine torch to approach the workpiece at the optimal angle for gouging without requiring awkward torch manipulation or extreme tilt angles that might interfere with the gantry or carriage. This ensures the slag is blown clear of the groove effectively, reducing cleanup time and preventing molten metal from re-solidifying where you don't want it.

Dialing in Your Settings
To get the best performance out of this tip, you need to set your regulator pressures correctly. Because it runs on Propylene, it behaves differently than Acetylene. You'll want to set your fuel gas pressure to a steady 8-10 PSIG. For your oxygen, you need a strong wash stream, so look for pressures in the 30-65 PSIG range depending on how deep you are digging. A correct setting gives you a smooth, roaring sound and a clean wash; incorrect settings will leave you with a jagged groove and a lot of slag to chip off later.

Built for the Job
Victor is a name welders trust because their gear lasts. This tip is designed to withstand the intense heat reflection that comes with gouging. Gouging is harder on tips than cutting because the flame is often directed almost parallel to the plate, bouncing heat right back at the torch. The 4-GTB is constructed to handle this thermal stress. If you are running a machine torch and using Propylene, this is the specific tool you need to keep your production line moving and your rework efficient.
