OVERVIEW

The Welder's Best Friend for Clean Cuts

Every welder knows that a dirty tip leads to a dirty cut. When you are in the middle of a job, dealing with a sputtering flame or a wandering cutting stream is frustrating and costs you time in grinding and rework. The Wypo Standard Tip Cleaner (WYP1) is the legendary tool that belongs in the pocket of every welder, pipefitter, and metalworker. Known simply as "a Wypo," this set is the gold standard for keeping your oxy-fuel torch running like new.

Why choose Wypo over the cheap generic sets found in the bargain bin? It comes down to the quality of the wires. Cheap cleaners are often just rough files that eat away at your copper tip, making the hole oval or too large. Once that happens, the tip is trash. Wypo cleaners are precision-made to remove the soot and slag without ruining the tip. The set includes 13 different wire sizes, clearly marked and designed to fit the most common cutting and welding tips you'll encounter in the field (Drill sizes #77 through #49). Whether you are running a Victor, Harris, or Smith torch, this set has the right wire for the job.

The WYP1 isn't just about the wires; it's about the complete package. The set comes in a sturdy aluminum case that slides easily into your shirt pocket. The case acts as a handle, giving you a good grip so you can work the cleaner in and out of the tip smoothly. Plus, it includes a built-in flat file. Use this to dress the face of your tip, filing away the crusty slag and smoothing out any dings from when you accidentally tapped the plate. A flat tip face equals a straight flame.

Don't let a clogged tip slow you down or ruin your cut quality. Regular maintenance with a Wypo cleaner takes seconds but saves you money on replacement tips and cleanup time. It is American-made quality that pays for itself the first time you save a tip from the scrap bucket. Make sure you have the genuine Wypo Standard set in your gear.

FAQ

The Wypo Standard set covers drill sizes #77 through #49. This range is suitable for the most common small to medium-sized welding and cutting tips.

The flat file is used to 'face' the tip. If the end of your cutting tip is rough, dented, or covered in slag, gently file it flat with the included file to restore a smooth surface and ensure a proper flame shape.

No, provided you use the correct size wire. Wypo cleaners are designed to clean carbon out without cutting into the copper tip material, unlike inferior abrasive files.

While primarily designed for oxy-fuel tips, the wires can be used to clean MIG contact tips if the wire diameter matches the orifice size. However, they are most effective on gas cutting and welding nozzles.

Wypo tip cleaners are manufactured in the USA by Maitlen & Benson, ensuring high-quality materials and precision engineering.

The Standard WYP1 set contains 13 individual cleaning wires plus one flat file.

The Standard set (WYP1) covers sizes #77-#49. The Master set typically covers a wider range, often including larger sizes for heavy-duty tips (up to #30 or larger depending on the specific master set configuration).

Generally, the sets are sold as complete units. Due to the low cost of the entire assembly, it is usually more economical to replace the entire set than to source individual wires.
