0702-0073 - Victor 1-118-2 Acetylene Gouging Nozzle Size 2

Victor 0702-0073 Gouging Nozzle - Type 1-118 Size 2

Enhance your oxy-fuel capabilities with the Victor 0702-0073, a Type 1-118 Size 2 Gouging Tip designed for use with Acetylene. This nozzle is engineered for the specific demands of flame gouging, a process used to remove weld metal and base material to form a groove or bevel. The 1-118 series features a bent design (typically around 30 degrees) or a specific orifice array that facilitates the washing action required for effective gouging, distinct from the severing action of standard cutting tips.

The Size 2 orifice is calibrated for optimal performance with Acetylene, requiring oxygen pressures typically in the range of 35-45 PSIG and fuel pressures of 5-7 PSIG. This configuration allows the operator to maintain a stable puddle and effectively blow away molten slag, creating a clean groove with minimal post-process cleanup required. It is particularly effective for back-gouging root passes to ensure full penetration welds or for removing cracks in castings and structural members.

Genuine Victor tips are renowned for their precision manufacturing. The 0702-0073 features smooth internal gas passages that minimize turbulence, ensuring a stable preheat flame and a focused cutting stream. This reliability is critical in gouging applications where flame stability directly impacts the quality of the groove. Compatible with Victor's extensive line of industrial handles and cutting attachments, this tip is a standard requirement for MRO and heavy fabrication environments.
