Victor Style 1-118-0 Acetylene Gouging and Scarfing Tip Size 0

Victor Cutskill CS11180 1-118-0 Acetylene Tip for Weld Prep

Upgrade your oxy-acetylene torch capabilities with the Victor Cutskill CS11180 1-118-0 Tip. This isn't your average cutting nozzle; it is a specialized Series 1 Type 118 tip designed explicitly for surface work such as gouging, scarfing, and weld preparation. If you need to remove a cracked weld, wash off a rivet head, or prepare a U-groove for a new joint, this tip delivers the soft, washing flame characteristic required for precise metal removal. It allows welders to peel away metal layers with control, leaving a clean surface ready for grinding or re-welding.

The CS11180 is a Size 0 tip optimized for Acetylene gas. It features a bent configuration typical of gouging tips to allow the flame to run parallel to the workpiece surface. Operating at a low acetylene pressure of 3-5 PSIG and a cutting oxygen pressure of 25-35 PSIG, it provides a stable and manageable flame. The tip is capable of travel speeds between 20 and 28 inches per minute, making quick work of scarfing tasks. Its design ensures that the preheat flames (3-6 PSIG oxygen) are sufficient to rapidly bring the base metal to ignition temperature without overheating the surrounding area.

This tip is a direct fit for industry-standard Victor 300 Series handles and compatible cutting attachments. It works seamlessly with torch models like the 315FC, ST2600FC, and HC1200C, as well as cutting attachments like the CA2460. This broad compatibility means you can turn your existing cutting rig into a gouging tool in seconds. It is an excellent alternative to carbon arc gouging for lighter applications or where electricity and compressed air are not readily available.

Fabricators and maintenance crews rely on the 1-118-0 for its versatility in rivet washing and deseaming. By directing the oxygen stream at a shallow angle, the operator can wash away the rivet head or seam without cutting into the plate beneath. This precision saves time on rework and reduces material waste. Add the Victor Style 1-118-0 to your torch kit today and handle complex prep and repair jobs with ease.
