OVERVIEW

Reliable Cutting for Propane Users

If you are running propane or natural gas on your rig, you know that standard acetylene tips just won't cut it—literally. The Victor Style GPN-P-3 Cutting Tip is the workhorse you need for medium-to-heavy plate cutting. Designed as a direct replacement for standard Victor GPN series tips, this nozzle allows you to leverage the economy of propane without sacrificing cut quality. The Size 3 orifice is perfect for slicing through steel plate up to 2-1/2 inches thick, making it a versatile choice for demolition, heavy equipment repair, and structural work.

One of the standout features of this tip is its chrome-plated finish. In the field, spatter buildup is a constant nuisance that can distort your flame and ruin a clean cut. The chrome layer acts as a shield, preventing hot slag from sticking to the nozzle. This means you spend less time scraping your tip with a cleaner and more time burning metal. The two-piece design is standard for alternative fuels, utilizing a recessed inner member to anchor the flame even when the tip is subjected to the turbulence of heavy cutting or windy outdoor conditions.

Installation is seamless for anyone with a Victor-style torch handle or cutting attachment. Simply seat the tip, tighten the nut, and adjust your pressures for propane (typically requiring slightly different settings than acetylene). This tip provides a heavy preheat flame necessary to bring thick steel to ignition temperature quickly, compensating for propane's lower flame temperature compared to acetylene. It is a cost-effective, durable solution for welders and fabricators looking to maximize their oxy-fuel efficiency.

FAQ

This tip is designed specifically for use with Propane or Natural Gas. It is not suitable for Acetylene.

A Size 3 GPN tip is generally rated to cut steel thicknesses between 2 inches and 2-1/2 inches (approximately 50-65mm).

Yes, this is a Victor-style tip and fits standard Victor cutting attachments and torches (like the CA2460 or 300 series) that accept GPN or GPP series tips.

The chrome plating helps reflect radiant heat and prevents molten metal spatter from adhering to the tip, making it easier to clean and longer-lasting.

This is a two-piece tip, consisting of a brass inner spline and a copper outer shell, which is the standard design for propane/natural gas cutting nozzles.

While it produces a preheat flame, it is primarily a cutting tip. For dedicated heating applications, a rosebud heating tip is recommended.

Because it is a two-piece tip, you can separate the outer shell from the inner spline to clean the seating surfaces and gas passages carefully. Do not use standard wire tip cleaners aggressively on the splines.

For a Size 3 tip, cutting oxygen pressure is typically set between 45 and 50 PSI, depending on the specific thickness of the metal and torch length.
