Victor Size 5 Acetylene Cutting Tip | Series 3-101

Maximize your cutting capabilities with the Victor 5-3-101 Acetylene Cutting Tip, SKU 0331-0018. This authentic Victor consumable is part of the widely used 3-101 series, known for its compatibility with medium and heavy-duty torch handles, specifically the Victor 300 series. Designed for professionals who demand accuracy and durability, this Size 5 tip is capable of slicing through steel up to 5 inches thick. It is an essential tool for welders, fabricators, and ironworkers dealing with heavy plate and structural components where standard smaller tips fall short.

The tip features a robust one-piece copper construction. Copper is the material of choice for high-performance cutting tips due to its excellent heat dissipation properties, which helps prevent the tip from overheating during prolonged cuts. This design extends the consumable's life and helps resist the adhesion of slag and spatter, keeping the orifices clean for a consistent flame. The 5-3-101 is engineered for general purpose cutting, providing a smooth kerf that minimizes the need for extensive secondary machining or grinding. It is rated for a cutting speed of 7 to 9 inches per minute, allowing for efficient workflow in demanding industrial environments.

Safety and performance go hand-in-hand with genuine Victor parts. This tip is calibrated for specific pressure settings: 50-55 PSIG for cutting oxygen and 5-13 PSIG for acetylene fuel. Adhering to these specifications ensures a stable flame and prevents issues like backfire or flashback. The tip also utilizes a preheat oxygen setting of 7-20 PSIG to rapidly bring the base metal to ignition temperature. When you choose the Victor 0331-0018, you are investing in a legacy of quality that ensures your oxy-fuel equipment operates at its peak potential, delivering clean, straight cuts time after time.
