0330-0002 - Victor 1-101 Size 3 Acetylene Cutting Tip

Genuine Victor 1-101 Series Size 3 Acetylene Cutting Tip

The Victor 0330-0002 is a premium Size 3 cutting tip from the renowned 1-101 series, engineered specifically for heavy-duty oxy-acetylene cutting applications. Manufactured by Victor Technologies, this tip represents the gold standard in gas cutting equipment, offering professionals reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. The 1-101 series is designed as a one-piece tip, a configuration that is optimal for acetylene gas, ensuring a stable preheat flame and a powerful cutting oxygen stream.

Constructed entirely from high-grade copper, this tip is built to withstand the intense thermal cycles associated with cutting thick steel plate. Copper's superior thermal conductivity allows the tip to run cooler than brass equivalents, significantly extending the service life of the consumable and reducing the risk of flashback caused by overheating. The internal geometry of the tip is precision-machined to deliver a laminar flow of gases, resulting in a clean kerf and minimal slag accumulation on the bottom edge of the cut.

Technical Specifications and Performance
This Size 3 tip is rated for cutting material thicknesses between 2 inches (50.8 mm) and 2-1/2 inches (63.5 mm). To achieve optimal results, operators should adhere to the manufacturer's recommended pressure settings. The cutting oxygen should be set between 45 and 50 PSIG, while the preheat oxygen requires approximately 5 to 16 PSIG. Acetylene fuel pressure should be maintained between 4 and 10 PSIG. Under these conditions, the tip supports a travel speed of 10 to 13 inches per minute, allowing for efficient workflow in fabrication shops and scrap yards.

Compatibility
The 0330-0002 is designed to fit Victor "Heavy Duty" torch handles and cutting attachments. This includes the widely used 300 Series handles (such as the HD 310C) and compatible cutting attachments (like the CA 2460). It is essential to verify torch compatibility, as the 1-101 series will not fit medium-duty (100 series) equipment. Whether used for hand cutting or machine cutting operations, this genuine Victor part ensures safety, precision, and longevity.
