Victor Style 1-118-4 Acetylene Gouging & Scarfing Tip

Get the Job Done with the Victor Style 1-118-4 Gouging Tip

When you need to remove metal rather than cut right through it, the Victor Style 1-118-4 Acetylene Tip is the tool for the job. Designed specifically for gouging, scarfing, and deseaming, this tip allows welders to wash away old welds, remove rivets, and prepare surfaces for new fabrication with ease. It is a high-quality replacement part that fits perfectly into your existing Victor-style equipment, giving you premium performance without the premium price tag.

This tip is part of the Cutskill® line, known for reliability and durability. It fits popular torch handles like the 315FC and cutting attachments like the CA2460, meaning you don't need specialized equipment to start gouging—just swap out your standard cutting tip for the 1-118-4. It is optimized for Acetylene gas, providing the intense, focused heat required for rapid metal removal. With a travel speed of 9 to 12 inches per minute, you can work quickly and efficiently, saving time on tear-downs and repairs.

The Size 4 configuration provides a wide, powerful stream ideal for tackling substantial weld beads and rivets. By adjusting your oxygen pressure between 40 and 50 PSIG, you can fine-tune the depth and width of your gouge, ensuring you remove only what is necessary. Whether you are in an automotive body shop, a structural steel yard, or a farm repair shop, having a 1-118-4 tip in your kit expands your oxy-fuel torch's capabilities beyond simple cutting.
