0330-0284 - Victor Size 2 Type 101-30 Acetylene Tip

Victor 0330-0284 Type 101-30 Cutting Tip Overview

The Victor 0330-0284 is a specialized Type 101-30 cutting tip designed for professional industrial applications. This Size 2 tip is engineered for use with Acetylene gas and provides a robust cutting capacity for metal thicknesses up to 1 inch (25.4mm). Distinguished by its 30-degree bend, this tip offers unique versatility for manual or mechanized operations where a standard straight tip may not provide the optimal angle of attack or visibility. It is a critical component for fabricators requiring precision and adaptability in their oxy-fuel cutting setups.

Manufactured to Victor's exacting standards, this one-piece copper tip ensures consistent flame characteristics and durability under high-heat conditions. The tip operates efficiently within specific pressure ranges to maximize gas economy and cut quality. For optimal performance, the recommended Acetylene gas pressure is between 3 and 6 psig, with a total consumption rate of 10-16 cfh. The cutting oxygen stream requires a pressure of 35-40 psig, consuming approximately 140-150 cfh, while the preheat oxygen should be set between 4 and 9 psig. These specifications ensure a clean, stable preheat flame and a powerful cutting stream capable of speeds between 15 and 19 inches per minute.

The Type 101-30 series is compatible with standard Victor hand and machine torches that accept the 101 series style (typically 300 series handles). Its design facilitates general purpose cutting as well as more intricate structural steel fabrication and repair work. The 30-degree angle allows the operator to maintain a comfortable torch position while directing the flame exactly where needed, reducing fatigue during extended use. Whether utilized in a heavy industrial environment, a structural steel yard, or a general maintenance shop, the Victor 0330-0284 delivers the reliability and performance professionals expect from the Victor brand.

By adhering to the specified pressure settings and consumption rates, operators can achieve smooth cut faces with minimal slag accumulation, reducing post-cut grinding and cleanup time. This tip represents a perfect balance of speed, efficiency, and precision for 1-inch steel plate applications.
