Smith SC13 Series Size 5 Heavy-Duty Acetylene Gouging Tip

Efficient Weld Removal with Smith SC13-5

When you need to remove old welds, repair cracks, or prepare heavy steel edges for fabrication, the Smith SC13-5 Acetylene Gouging Tip is the professional's choice for reliability and performance. Designed to work seamlessly with your existing Smith SC or DG series torches, this heavy-duty tip transforms your oxy-acetylene setup into a powerful gouging tool. The SC13-5 is capable of carving out a substantial 1/2-inch wide by 3/8-inch deep groove in a single pass, making short work of defects and redundant metal. Unlike standard cutting tips, this gouging tip is engineered to wash away molten metal smoothly, leaving a clean U-groove that is often ready for re-welding with minimal grinding.

Safety and ease of use are at the forefront of the SC13-5 design. Gouging can be a messy, high-heat process, but Smith's signature concave tip end helps prevent the frustration of flameouts and the danger of backfires, keeping you working safely. The in-tip mixing system ensures that gases are mixed at the point of use, maximizing efficiency and further protecting your torch handle from flashback damage. Additionally, the fully swaged smooth interior of the tip prevents slag from building up inside the bore, ensuring that you get fast, consistent starts every time you light up. Whether you are working in a repair shop, a shipyard, or on a heavy construction site, the Smith SC13-5 delivers the durability and precision control needed for tough metal removal jobs.
