Airco Style 183-4 Acetylene Gouging Tip

Clear Defects Fast with the 183-4 Gouging Tip

When you need to wash out a crack or remove an old weld without damaging the base metal, you need the right tool for the job. This Airco Style 183-4 Gouging Tip is built exactly for that purpose. Unlike a standard cutting tip that shoots a high-velocity jet to pierce through steel, this gouging tip uses a softer, wider oxygen stream to push molten metal away, leaving a clean, smooth groove. It’s the perfect accessory for your oxy-acetylene rig when you are doing repair work or prepping a joint for a deep penetration weld.

The tip is curved, which saves your wrist and helps you get the perfect angle to "scoop" out the metal. It’s a size 4, which is a great all-around size for general shop use—not too big that it blows through everything, but beefy enough to move metal quickly. It fits right onto your existing Airco-style torch, so you don't need any special adapters. Just swap out your cutting tip, set your pressures, and you are ready to gouge. Made from durable copper, it stands up to the heat and spatter of heavy use, giving you a reliable tool that lasts.

Why Welders Choose This Tip:

• Smooth Grooves: Creates clean U-grooves ideal for re-welding.
• Easy Control: The bent shape helps you see the puddle and control the wash.
• Direct Fit: Works with the Airco torches you already own.
