0330-0014 - Victor Size 8 Type 101 Acetylene Cutting Tip for 12-Inch Steel

Heavy-Duty Cutting Power with the Victor 8-1-101

When you are staring down a slab of steel a foot thick, you need a cutting tip that isn't going to quit halfway through. The Victor 8-1-101 is the heavy-hitter of the Type 101 series, a Size 8 acetylene tip built for the toughest demolition and fabrication jobs. Capable of slicing through steel up to 12 inches thick, this tip turns your heavy-duty Victor torch into a massive cutting instrument. It is the go-to consumable for welders working in shipyards, heavy infrastructure, and industrial demolition who rely on the clean, hot burn of acetylene.

Victor's one-piece copper and brass design is legendary for a reason. It stands up to the intense reflected heat of deep cutting without deforming or clogging easily. The flame characteristics are consistent and aggressive, giving you the preheat punch needed to start cuts on thick, cold metal and the oxygen stream velocity to blow the slag clear out of the kerf. This means less grinding and cleanup for you after the cut is made. The tip seats firmly into your torch handle, giving you confidence that your equipment is safe and ready to perform.

To get the best performance, ensure your regulator settings match the heavy demand of this tip. You'll need good flow on both the oxygen and acetylene lines to feed a Size 8 tip. Once dialed in, the 8-1-101 offers a smooth, controlled cut at speeds of 3 to 5 inches per minute. Whether you are severing I-beams, dismantling machinery, or processing heavy scrap, this genuine Victor tip delivers the reliability and power professional welders expect from the brand.
