OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Cutting Power for Airco Torches

When you are staring down a slab of thick steel, you need a cutting tip that can handle the heat. The Victor Cutskill CS1445 is your go-to replacement for Airco-style torches, bringing fresh life to your oxy-acetylene setup. This isn't just a spare part; it's a performance upgrade for your daily grind. Designed as a direct equivalent to the Airco 144-5, this size 5 tip is built for the heavy jobs—think demolition, structural steel modification, and heavy equipment repair where smaller tips just can't cut it.

We know that a erratic flame or a clogged jet can ruin a cut and waste valuable time. That's why the Victor Cutskill series focuses on precision. The preheat holes are engineered to give you a stable, even ring of fire that brings your base metal to kindling temperature fast. Once you hit the oxygen lever, the main jet delivers a clean, high-velocity stream that blows through slag and metal with authority. Because it is designed for Acetylene, you get that distinct, hot flame that allows for quick starts and versatile maneuvering.

Don't let worn-out consumables compromise your safety or your cut quality. A fresh CS1445 tip seats perfectly in your Airco-style torch, preventing dangerous leaks and flashbacks. It is rugged, reliable, and ready to work as hard as you do. Whether you are cutting scrap in the yard or fitting beams on a job site, keep a few of these in your kit to ensure you are always ready to make the cut.

FAQ

The CS1445 is an Airco-style 144 series tip, which is designed exclusively for use with Oxygen and Acetylene gas. It is not suitable for Propane or Natural Gas.

This tip is compatible with torches that accept Airco-style seating. It will not fit standard Victor, Harris, or Smith torches unless they are specifically equipped with an Airco-style head.

A Size 5 cutting tip is generally rated for cutting steel thicknesses in the range of approximately 5 to 6 inches, making it a heavy-duty tip for thick materials.

No, this is a Victor Cutskill brand replacement part manufactured to meet or exceed the specifications of the original Airco 144-5 tip.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Select the wire size that fits the orifices snugly but without force, and move it back and forth to remove carbon deposits and slag. Be careful not to enlarge the holes.

Using the correct tip size ensures proper gas flow and heat input for the thickness of the metal. A tip that is too small won't cut through, while a tip that is too large will waste gas and produce a rough cut.

While it can remove metal, it is designed for through-cutting. For dedicated gouging applications, a gouging tip (often with a bent or angled design) is recommended for better control.
