Victor Style 1-118-4 Acetylene Gouging Nozzle

Remove Welds and Wash Rivets with Ease

Every welder knows that sometimes the hardest part of the job isn't laying the bead—it's removing the old one. The Victor Style 1-118-4 Acetylene Gouging Tip is your go-to solution for those tough demolition and prep jobs. If you are running a Victor 300 Series torch setup, this replacement tip drops right in, turning your cutting torch into a powerful gouging tool. Whether you are fixing a crack, removing a bad pass, or prepping a thick plate for a full-penetration weld, this tip saves you hours of grinding time.

Designed specifically for Acetylene, this tip delivers the concentrated heat you need to melt steel fast. The "1-118" style is famous for its ability to perform scarfing and deseaming. Instead of cutting straight through the plate, the angled orifice directs the oxygen stream to wash the metal away horizontally. This allows you to carve out grooves with precision. The Size 4 orifice is a great all-rounder—powerful enough to dig deep when you need to, but controllable enough to avoid blowing through your base metal if you are careful.

Why struggle with carbon arc gouging in the field if you don't have a big welder and compressor handy? With this oxy-acetylene tip, all you need is your gas rig. It is also perfect for washing rivets; you can slice the head off a rivet and wash the shank out without damaging the hole, making it a favorite for structural steel repair. Rugged, reliable, and ready for work, this tip is a must-have addition to your torch kit. Stop grinding your day away and start washing metal with the power of flame.
