0330-0008 - Victor 1-101 Size 5 Heavy Duty Acetylene Cutting Tip

Heavy-Duty Cutting Power with Genuine Victor Precision

When you are staring down a 5-inch thick slab of steel, you need a cutting tip that delivers heat and power without faltering. The Victor 1-101 Size 5 Acetylene Cutting Tip (SKU: 0330-0008) is the industry standard for heavy-duty manual and machine cutting. Built by the brand that defined oxy-fuel safety and performance, this tip is designed to fit your trusty Victor heavy-duty torch (like the 300 series) and deliver the clean, consistent cuts professional welders demand.

The difference between a genuine Victor tip and a generic knock-off is often found in the flame characteristic. The 1-101 Size 5 features a one-piece copper construction that withstands high heat, reducing the chance of the tip overheating during long cuts. The preheat flames are uniform, allowing for a quick start even on thick, cold plate, while the cutting oxygen stream remains tight and focused to blow out slag efficiently. This means less grinding for you and a cleaner edge for the next stage of fabrication.

This specific size is a workhorse for structural demolition, shipyard work, and heavy equipment repair. It is rated to cut through 5 inches of metal at a travel speed of roughly 6 to 8 inches per minute. To get the best results, ensure your regulator settings match the tip's requirements: keep your acetylene between 7-13 PSIG and your cutting oxygen around 40-45 PSIG. Proper settings not only improve the cut quality but also extend the life of the tip.

Don't compromise on your consumables. A clogged or poorly machined tip can ruin an expensive piece of metal or waste valuable gas. The Victor 0330-0008 provides the reliability you need to tackle the thickest jobs in the shop with confidence. Whether you are scrapping old machinery or fabricating heavy structural columns, this Size 5 tip is the right tool for the job.
