1-118-2 - Victor Style 1-118-2 Acetylene Gouging Tip, Size 2

Remove Welds and Prep Joints with Ease

Every welder knows that sometimes the grinder just isn't enough. When you need to dig out a deep crack, remove a long stretch of bad weld, or prep a thick plate for full penetration, you need the Victor Style 1-118-2 Gouging Tip. This tip turns your standard oxy-acetylene cutting torch into a powerful metal-removal tool. Instead of cutting straight through the steel, the 1-118-2 is designed to wash the metal away, creating a smooth, clean groove. It’s the perfect solution for "washing" rivets off a frame or scarfing a billet.

This tip is a Size 2, which is a great all-around size for general repairs and fabrication. It gives you enough flame power to gouge deeply when needed, but it's small enough to maintain control so you don't blow through your workpiece. Because it is designed for Acetylene, you get that intense, focused preheat flame that allows you to start your gouge instantly, even on surface rust or scale. The medium preheat holes are perfectly sized to keep the puddle fluid without overheating the tip, giving you a smooth, consistent wash.

Compatibility is key, and this tip is built to fit any standard Victor 300 Series torch handle or cutting attachment. It seats securely and tightens down just like the original brand-name parts, giving you the same performance at a fraction of the cost. Whether you are working in a repair shop, on a pipeline, or in a scrap yard, having a dedicated gouging tip in your kit saves you hours of grinding time. Stop fighting with cutoff wheels and start washing metal away efficiently with this high-quality replacement gouging tip.
