261-1 - Airco Style 261-2 Propane Cutting Tip - Heavy Preheat

Reliable Propane Cutting for Airco Torches

If you are running Propane or Natural Gas on your rig, you know that a standard acetylene tip just won't cut it. You need a tip designed to handle the slower burn rate and higher volume of alternate fuels. That's where the Airco Style 261 Size 2 Cutting Tip comes in. This is a solid, two-piece workhorse built to replace your standard Airco 261 tips. The "two-piece" part is important—it means the tip has a separate inner part and an outer sleeve. This creates a skirt at the end of the tip that holds the flame steady, so it doesn't blow out when you crank up the oxygen.

This specific tip is a Size 2, which is the sweet spot for a lot of general work. It handles steel plate around 1 to 1-1/2 inches thick with ease. What welders really appreciate about this model is the heavy preheat. If you've ever tried to start a cut on a piece of rusty scrap or a painted beam and waited forever for the puddle to form, you'll love this tip. It throws out a lot of heat to get you cutting faster. It's perfect for scrap yards, demolition jobs, or just general fabrication where the steel isn't brand new and shiny.

Maintenance is straightforward. Since it pulls apart, you can easily clean out any carbon buildup or slag splatter that manages to get inside. It fits any standard Airco style torch, so you don't need an adapter. Just swap it out, set your pressures, and you are ready to burn. Save money on your consumables without sacrificing the quality of your cut. This generic replacement gives you the performance of the big brand names at a fraction of the price.
