Smith SC2-2 LP Gas Heavy Duty Gouging Tip

Miller Smith SC2-2 LP Gas Gouging Tip Details

Maximize your efficiency in weld preparation and repair with the Miller Smith SC2-2 Special Purpose LP Gas Gouging Tip. Designed for use with propane, this heavy-duty tip offers a cost-effective solution for metal removal compared to acetylene, without sacrificing performance in specific gouging applications. The SC2-2 is expertly crafted to facilitate the washing away of metal, making it the tool of choice for removing defective welds, eliminating cracks in castings or structural members, and preparing plate edges with U-grooves or J-grooves. Its precise engineering allows operators to control the depth and width of the gouge, minimizing the need for secondary grinding and cleanup.

The SC2-2 utilizes a two-piece tip design, which includes a brass inner member with splines for gas flow and a copper outer shell. This configuration is essential for propane service, as the recessed tip end helps anchor the flame and prevents it from blowing out during the high-velocity oxygen stream used in gouging. The tip is rated as Size 2, which provides a consistent gouging profile of 5/16 inches wide by 1/8 inches deep. This specific profile is excellent for a wide range of repairs, allowing the operator to remove a substantial amount of material in a single pass while maintaining visibility of the work area thanks to the general bent shape of the tip.

Durability and compatibility are at the core of the Smith Equipment product line. This tip is built to withstand the intense heat and spatter associated with gouging operations. It is fully compatible with a broad range of Smith equipment, including the DG200 and SC200 Series Cutting Attachments, as well as all SC and DG Series Hand Torches. It also fits machine torches that utilize the SC series seating. By choosing genuine Smith consumables, welders ensure leak-free connections and optimal gas flow characteristics, resulting in safer operation and better work quality. Whether you are retrofitting an existing torch for gouging or stocking up on consumables for a large repair project, the SC2-2 is a reliable, high-performance choice.
