OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Heating with the Victor CutSkill 2290H-3

Welders Supply is proud to offer the Victor CutSkill CS2290H3, a robust Harris-style heating tip designed for the serious fabricator. When your project requires intense, widespread heat, a standard cutting tip simply won't suffice. This 2290H-3 "rosebud" style tip is engineered to deliver massive amounts of heat using economical alternative fuels like Propane and Natural Gas. It is the ideal accessory for welders who need to perform thermal forming, flame straightening, or preheating of thick materials before welding.

The 2290H series is legendary in the industry for its durability and performance. This specific model, the Size 3, strikes an excellent balance between fuel consumption and heat output, making it versatile enough for a variety of shop tasks. Because it is part of the Victor CutSkill line, you get the assurance of quality manufacturing standards at a price point that makes sense for both small workshops and large industrial operations. The tip features a heavy outer shell that resists spatter adhesion and physical damage, ensuring a long service life even in rugged environments.

Why Choose the CS2290H3?

One of the primary advantages of this tip is its fuel versatility. Propane and Natural Gas are often more readily available and less expensive than Acetylene, especially for heating applications where high volumes of gas are consumed. The CS2290H3 is optimized to maintain a stable flame with these gases, preventing the flame lift-off or instability that can occur with mismatched equipment. The multi-flame head distributes heat over a larger surface area compared to a single-point tip, allowing for uniform heating of pipes, beams, and plates.

This tip is a direct replacement for standard Harris 2290H-3 tips, meaning you don't need to buy a new torch or mixer if you are already set up with Harris equipment. Simply swap out your old tip for the Victor CutSkill CS2290H3 and experience renewed performance. Whether you are bending rebar, removing seized nuts through thermal expansion, or preheating a casting, this heating tip delivers the BTUs you need to manipulate metal with ease.

INCLUDED

  • 1 x Victor CutSkill CS2290H3 Harris Style 2290H-3 Heating Tip

APPLICATIONS

  • Preheating: Raising the temperature of heavy steel plates and castings prior to welding to prevent cracking.
  • Flame Straightening: Correcting distortion in welded structures by applying localized heat.
  • Bending and Forming: Heating metal bars, pipes, and flats to make them pliable for bending.
  • Descaling: Using thermal shock to remove rust and scale from metal surfaces.
  • Brazing: Heavy-duty brazing applications requiring broad heat distribution.

FAQ

This tip is designed for use with alternative fuels such as Propane, Natural Gas, and Propylene. It is NOT safe for use with Acetylene.

No, this is a Harris-style tip (Style 2290). It fits Harris torches and mixers, not standard Victor torches. It is manufactured by Victor but designed to fit Harris equipment.

The '-3' indicates the tip size. In the 2290H series, the number corresponds to the orifice size and heat output capability, with larger numbers indicating higher heat output.

No, the 2290H-3 is a heating tip (often called a rosebud). It is designed to heat metal, not cut it. It lacks the central oxygen jet required for the cutting process.

Yes, you must use a mixer compatible with Harris 2290 series tips. Ensure your torch handle and mixer setup is rated for the high flow required by heating tips.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Gently insert the appropriate size wire into the flame ports to remove carbon buildup or debris. Do not force oversized wires as this can distort the flame pattern.

Propane is generally cheaper and safer for large volume heating. While Acetylene burns hotter, Propane provides more total BTUs for heavy heating when used with a proper tip like the 2290H-3.

Victor CutSkill is an aftermarket line manufactured by Victor Technologies to fit various equipment styles. They are high-quality replacement parts designed to meet or exceed the performance of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts.
