GPN-5 - Victor Style GPN-5 Propane Cutting Tip, Size 5, 2-Piece

Heavy-Duty Cutting with the Size 5 Propane Tip

Upgrade your cutting setup with the Victor Style GPN-5 Cutting Tip, specifically designed for welders and fabricators who prefer the economy and availability of Propane or Natural Gas. If you are tackling thick steel plate, scrap demolition, or heavy structural modification, this Size 5 tip provides the power you need to slice through material up to 5 inches thick with ease.

Unlike standard acetylene tips, this GPN-5 model features a specialized 2-piece construction. This design is critical for alternative fuels; the inner insert creates a heavy preheat flame that brings thick steel to ignition temperature rapidly, even without the high intensity of acetylene. The outer copper sleeve protects the internal splines and can be easily cleaned or replaced if damaged, extending the overall life of your consumable investment. This makes it an excellent choice for scrap yards and outdoor job sites where durability is paramount.

This tip is designed to fit standard Victor 300 Series torches, making it a versatile addition to your existing equipment locker. Whether you are using a hand torch or a machine torch setup compatible with V-style tips, the GPN-5 delivers consistent, high-quality cuts. The tip produces a smooth kerf with minimal slag adhesion when set to the correct pressures (approx. 50-55 PSI for oxygen and 8-12 PSI for fuel). By switching to propane with this tip, you not only save on gas costs but also eliminate the withdrawal rate limitations associated with acetylene cylinders on heavy cuts.
