OVERVIEW

Maximize Your Machine Cutting Speed

If you are running a track torch or a CNC cutting table with MAPP or Propylene gas, the Victor 1566HS-2-1/2 Cutting Tip is the upgrade you need for faster, cleaner cuts. Standard tips can struggle to maintain a stable flame at high travel speeds, but the 1566HS (High Speed) series is built to push the limits. The secret lies in its divergent bore design, which accelerates the cutting oxygen stream, blasting away molten metal more efficiently and allowing you to crank up the speed on your machine.

This size 2-1/2 tip is perfect for those medium-to-heavy jobs where you need to slice through steel plate up to 3 inches thick. The two-piece construction is specifically designed for alternative fuels; the recessed inner part protects the flame from blowing out, ensuring a stable preheat even when the torch is moving fast. Plus, the shiny chrome finish isn't just for looks—it helps reflect heat and prevents slag from sticking to the nozzle, so you spend less time cleaning your tips and more time cutting.

Whether you are fabricating structural beams or cutting parts for heavy machinery, consistency is key. This ESAB/Victor tip delivers a uniform preheat flame and a razor-sharp cutting jet, resulting in smooth edges with minimal dross. It fits standard Victor-style machine torches, making it an easy swap for your existing setup. Get the most out of your fuel gas and your machine with the 1566HS series.

FAQ

This tip is designed for use with MAPP gas and Propylene (FG-2). It is not suitable for Acetylene or Natural Gas.

A size 2-1/2 tip is generally rated for cutting steel thicknesses between 2 inches and 3 inches (approx. 50mm to 75mm).

No, the 1566HS series is designed for machine torches. Hand torches typically use different series tips (like GPN or GPP) depending on the torch model.

HS stands for 'High Speed'. These tips feature a specific bore geometry that allows for faster travel speeds compared to standard general-purpose tips.

Separate the two pieces and clean the splines and seating surfaces with a chemical cleaner or soft brush. Do not use a wire drill on the splines as it can damage the flame pattern.

The chrome plating reflects radiant heat to keep the tip cooler and prevents molten spatter from adhering to the surface, extending the tip's life.

Yes, this is a genuine ESAB / Victor product, ensuring the highest quality and compatibility with Victor-style equipment.

Pressure settings vary by plate thickness, but generally, high-speed tips require slightly different pressures than standard tips. Refer to the Victor cutting chart for 1566HS series for precise settings.
