3-101-1 - 3-101-1 Acetylene Cutting Tip for Victor 100 Series Torches

Get Clean Cuts with the 3-101-1 Acetylene Tip

If you are running a Victor 100 series torch—that's the medium-duty handle most guys have on their rig—and you need to slice through some 3/4-inch plate, the 3-101-1 is the tip you need to grab. This isn't just some cheap knock-off; it's a solid, copper-constructed replacement that fits your torch perfectly and lights up just like the brand-name version. We know that out in the field or in the shop, you don't have time to mess around with tips that sputter or won't seat right. This tip drops right in, tightens down, and gives you that crisp, blue preheat cone you're looking for.

The Size 1 orifice is the sweet spot for a lot of general fabrication work. It's big enough to handle structural steel, heavy angle iron, and thick brackets, but it's not so big that you're wasting gas on thinner stuff. Remember, this is an Acetylene-only tip. Don't try to run Propane through it—it won't burn right and you'll just get frustrated. The one-piece design is tough and handles the heat well, but like any tip, you've got to keep it clean. If you start seeing your flame get ragged, hit it with a tip cleaner to clear out the slag, and you're back in business.

Whether you are cutting scrap, fabricating a new bumper, or doing repair work on farm equipment, having a fresh 3-101-1 in your kit is essential. Old, clogged tips lead to messy cuts and a lot of grinding later. Swap out that beat-up tip for this new one and watch the slag blow away cleanly. It’s compatible with all the standard Victor-style medium-duty attachments, so if your handle looks like a Victor 100, this is likely the one you need. Check your thickness, set your pressures (around 30-35 PSI Oxygen and 3-5 PSI Acetylene usually does the trick), and start cutting.
