Victor 8-GPN Series 1 Propane/Natural Gas Cutting Tip, 12-Inch Capacity

Heavy-Duty Cutting Power with Propane Efficiency

When your project involves slicing through massive steel sections up to a foot thick, the Victor 8-GPN Cutting Tip is the tool of choice for operators using Propane or Natural Gas. Designed to fit Victor's professional 300 Series torch handles, this tip brings industrial-grade performance to your shop or job site. By utilizing alternative fuels like propane, you can achieve significant cost savings over acetylene, especially on heavy cuts where gas consumption is high. The 8-GPN is engineered to maximize the heat potential of these fuels, using a specialized two-piece design that anchors the flame securely for a consistent, hot preheat.

Built for the Toughest Jobs
This isn't your average cutting tip. The Size 8 orifice is calibrated for deep penetration, capable of making clean cuts on material up to 12 inches thick. Whether you are working in scrap demolition, structural steel dismantling, or heavy equipment repair, this tip delivers the oxygen stream velocity needed to blow through thick plate and forgings. The heavy copper outer shell resists the high radiant heat typical of deep cutting, while the precision-machined inner splines ensure a uniform preheat flame that wraps around the cutting jet.

Operational Tips
To get the best performance from your 8-GPN tip, ensure your gas supply system can handle the flow requirements. Heavy cutting requires high volume; set your cutting oxygen between 60 and 70 PSIG and your fuel gas between 10 and 14 PSIG. Always use a "T" grade hose for propane service to ensure safety and longevity. With the Victor 8-GPN, you get the reliability of the industry's leading gas equipment brand combined with the economy of alternative fuels, making it a smart investment for high-volume, heavy-duty cutting operations.
