OVERVIEW

Reliable Propane Cutting for Smith Torches

If you are running a Smith torch setup and prefer the economy and cleanliness of propane, the Victor Cutskill CSSC403 is the replacement tip you need. Modeled directly after the Smith SC40-3, this tip gives you the heavy-duty performance required for tackling thick plate and structural steel without the premium price tag of OEM consumables. It is built to handle the heat, designed for daily abuse in the shop or out in the field, and optimized to get the most out of your propane or natural gas supply.

No More Leaky Seats

We've all dealt with tips that just won't seal properly, forcing you to crank down on the nut until you're worried about stripping threads. The CSSC403 solves this with Graf-Tite soft seats. These specialized seats compress slightly when you tighten the nut, forming a rock-solid seal that doesn't leak. This feature is a game-changer for preserving your torch head; because you don't have to over-tighten, you save the threads on your expensive torch body. Plus, the seats are heat-resistant, so they won't degrade halfway through a long cut.

Built for the Real World

Real-world cutting isn't always on clean, new steel. Sometimes you're cutting through rust, mill scale, or primer. This tip features a heavy preheat flame configuration that punches through surface contaminants, ensuring you don't lose your cut in the middle of a pass. The concave tip end is another practical detail—by recessing the orifice, the tip is protected if you accidentally bump it against the plate, preventing the bell-mouthing that ruins flame shape. The two-piece design is easy to clean and maintain, ensuring you get a long service life out of every tip.

Key Features for the Operator

  • Propane Optimized: Specifically designed two-piece construction for stable propane flames.
  • Size 3 Capacity: Perfect for medium-to-heavy plate, handling 1-1/2" to 2" thickness with ease.
  • Safety First: In-tip mixing keeps the dangerous gas mixture out of your handle and tubes.
  • Smooth Cuts: Swaged internal passages mean less turbulence and smoother cut faces, saving you grinding time later.

Upgrade your consumables with the Victor Cutskill CSSC403 and experience consistent, trouble-free cutting on your Smith style equipment.

FAQ

This tip is designed specifically for use with Propane or Natural Gas. It is a two-piece tip which is required for the proper combustion of these alternate fuels.

Yes, this tip is compatible with Smith heavy-duty cutting torches that accept SC series tips, such as the Silver Star, Tuf Tony, and DG200 series.

A size 3 SC40 style tip is typically rated for cutting steel between 1-1/2 inches and 2 inches thick.

Graf-Tite seats are a proprietary soft-seat material used on the sealing surface of the tip. They compress to form a leak-proof seal with less torque, protecting the torch head from wear.

No, you cannot use acetylene with an SC40 series tip. For acetylene, you would need an SC12 series tip. Using the wrong gas with a specific tip design can be dangerous and ineffective.

The concave design recesses the flame exit point, protecting it from damage if the tip accidentally touches the workpiece. It also helps maintain a stable flame in windy conditions.

The CSSC403 is a two-piece tip, consisting of an outer shell and an inner member, which is the standard design for efficient propane cutting.

Because it is a two-piece tip, you can separate the outer shell from the inner member to clean the splines and seating surfaces. Use a soft wire brush and tip cleaner carefully to remove slag or carbon buildup.
