Precision Acetylene Cutting with Victor Type 101-30

The Victor 0330-0198 is a specialized Series 1, Type 101 cutting tip designed for precision oxy-acetylene applications. Designated as Size 0, this consumable is engineered to cut mild steel ranging from 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch (10mm) in thickness. A defining characteristic of this specific model is its 30-degree bend, which deviates from standard straight or 90-degree configurations, providing unique operational advantages in both manual and mechanized setups where torch orientation relative to the workpiece requires an angled approach.

Manufactured to Victor's rigorous industrial standards, this one-piece acetylene tip ensures optimal gas mixing and flame stability. The internal geometry is designed to maintain a cutting oxygen pressure between 25 and 35 PSIG, with a fuel gas pressure requirement of 3 to 5 PSIG. This balance allows for efficient thermal transfer and a clean kerf, supporting cutting speeds of approximately 20 to 28 inches per minute depending on the specific material grade and operator technique. The preheat oxygen pressure is calibrated for 3-6 PSIG, ensuring rapid ignition and sustained preheat during the cut.

The Type 101 configuration is specifically compatible with Victor 100 Series hand torches and compatible machine torch setups. The one-piece copper alloy construction provides excellent heat dissipation, reducing the risk of tip overheating during prolonged use. By utilizing a 30-degree angle, operators can maintain the torch perpendicular to the surface while positioning the handle more comfortably, or access areas where a straight tip would be obstructed. This tip is an essential component for fabrication shops requiring versatility in their oxy-fuel cutting capabilities.

Proper maintenance of the 0-1-101-30 tip is crucial for performance. The orifices must be kept clean using standard tip cleaners appropriate for Size 0 to prevent flow restriction and flame distortion. As a genuine Victor part, it offers superior resistance to flashback and backfire when operated within specified pressure parameters, ensuring safety and reliability in industrial environments.
