CSHPN5 - Victor Style HPN-5 Heavy Duty Propane Cutting Tip

Victor Cutskill CSHPN5: Precision and Power for Propane Cutting

Maximize your cutting efficiency with the Victor Cutskill CSHPN5, a Size 5 propane cutting tip from the HPN series. Designed for professional welders and fabricators, this tip is optimized for heavy-duty cutting applications using propane or natural gas. It is rated to cut material up to 5 inches (approx. 127mm) in thickness, making it a powerhouse for processing heavy plate and structural components. The HPN designation signifies "Heavy Preheat," a critical feature for operators working in real-world conditions where steel is rarely clean and perfectly prepared.

Optimized for Scrap and Beveling

The heavy preheat flame produced by the CSHPN5 is essential for specific cutting scenarios. When dealing with scrap metal, rusty beams, or painted surfaces, a standard tip often struggles to maintain the cut. The CSHPN5's aggressive preheat burns through surface contaminants, allowing the cutting oxygen stream to penetrate effectively. Furthermore, this high heat input is ideal for beveling operations, where the flame is applied at an angle, requiring more thermal energy to maintain the reaction. This tip ensures you get clean, consistent cuts even in challenging environments.

Technical Specifications and Fitment

This tip is a Type 1, Series HPN consumable. It features the standard Victor-style seating, ensuring a secure and leak-free fit with a multitude of industry-standard torches. Compatible models include:

• Torch Handles: 315FC, H315FC
• Cutting Attachments: CA2460 (90 degree), CA2461 (75 degree), CA2462 (180 degree)
• Straight Torches: ST2600FC, ST100FC, ST900FC, HC1200C
• Machine Torches: MT200, MT300

Using the correct tip for your fuel gas is paramount for safety and performance. The CSHPN5 is strictly for propane/natural gas and utilizes a two-piece design (outer shell and inner member) to stabilize the flame, which is characteristic of alternative fuel tips.

Maintenance and Longevity

To ensure the longest life for your CSHPN5 tip, keep the seating surfaces clean and free of dings. The two-piece construction allows for separation during cleaning, enabling you to clear out carbon buildup or slag splatter that might affect the flame pattern. Always use a tip cleaner designed for the specific orifice size to avoid enlarging the holes. By choosing genuine Victor Cutskill consumables, you are investing in quality brass and copper construction that withstands high heat and resists deformation, ensuring your cuts remain straight and true shift after shift.
