CS1838 - Victor CS1838 Airco Style 183-8 Oxy-Acetylene Gouging Tip

Heavy-Duty Airco Style Gouging Tip

Equip your torch with the Victor Cutskill CS1838, a robust Airco Style 183-8 gouging tip built for the toughest metal removal tasks. This tip is specifically designed for use with oxy-acetylene gas mixes and is fully compatible with Airco-style torch handles and cutting attachments. When you need to remove a defective weld, prepare a U-groove for a joint, or strip away rivet heads, the CS1838 provides the thermal intensity and oxygen velocity required to get the job done fast.

Built for the Professional Fabricator

The Victor Cutskill series is the smart choice for welders who demand reliability. The CS1838 is manufactured to strict tolerances, ensuring that the seating surfaces seal perfectly with your torch head to prevent dangerous gas leaks. The copper alloy construction offers excellent thermal conductivity, helping to dissipate heat and prevent tip deformation during prolonged use. With a size 8 orifice, this tip is capable of moving significant amounts of metal, making it ideal for heavy structural repairs and demolition work.

Optimized Gouging Performance

Unlike standard cutting tips that pierce straight through material, the 183-style gouging tip is designed to wash metal away horizontally. The tip geometry creates a soft, low-velocity preheat flame combined with a high-volume cutting oxygen stream. This configuration allows the operator to control the depth and width of the groove with precision. The bent configuration of the tip aids in positioning the torch at the shallow angle required for effective gouging, reducing operator fatigue and improving visibility of the work area.

Reliable Replacement Part

Don't let worn-out consumables slow down your production. The CS1838 is an affordable, high-quality alternative to OEM parts, restoring your torch's performance to like-new condition. Whether you are working in the field or in the shop, having a fresh gouging tip on hand ensures you are ready for any repair challenge. Trust Victor Cutskill for consistent flame characteristics and rugged durability in all your oxy-fuel applications.
