CS3GPN2 - Victor CutSkill 3-GPN-2 Propane Cutting Tip Size 2

Technical Specifications: Victor Style 3-GPN-2

The Victor CS3GPN2 (Reference: 3-GPN-2) is a Type 3, Series GPN cutting tip engineered for oxy-propane and oxy-natural gas applications. This consumable is manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure optimal gas mixing and flow characteristics, which are critical for maintaining a neutral preheat flame with alternative fuels. The tip features a two-piece design consisting of a brass inner spline and a copper outer shell. This configuration allows the preheat flames to be recessed, stabilizing the combustion of the slower-burning propane gas and protecting the tip face from molten spatter.

Operational Parameters:
The Size 2 orifice is rated for a cutting range of approximately 1-1/2 inches (38mm). Operators should adjust oxygen and fuel gas pressures according to the specific torch handle and regulator charts, but generally, propane tips require slightly different pressure settings compared to acetylene to achieve the maximum BTU output. The GPN series is designed for general purpose cutting (GPN = General Purpose Natural) and provides a medium preheat intensity suitable for clean, rust-free plate as well as slightly dirty scrap material.

Compatibility and Fitment:
This tip utilizes the standard Victor seating mechanism. It is listed for use with the following equipment configurations:

• Heavy Duty: 315FC Handle with CA2470-90 Attachment.
• Medium Duty: 100FC Handle with CA1350-90, CA1351-75, or CA1352-180 Attachments.
• Light/Standard Duty: J-40 and J28 Handles with CA1260-90 Attachment.
• Straight Torches: CST800FC.

Note: While the tip fits the seat of these attachments, always verify the specific series compatibility (Series 3 vs Series 1) for your specific torch model to ensure proper gas seal and safety.

The CS3GPN2 is an ideal choice for industrial MRO environments where propane is the preferred fuel gas due to its stability, safety profile, and cost-efficiency. The tip's robust construction ensures a long service life even under the thermal stress of continuous cutting operations.
