0333-0308 - Victor 1-GPN Series Propane/Natural Gas Cutting Tip, Size 6

Victor 0333-0308 6-GPN Cutting Tip Overview

The Victor 0333-0308 is a Size 6, Series 1-GPN cutting tip designed for heavy-duty industrial cutting applications using Propane or Natural Gas. Engineered by Victor, a leader in gas equipment, this tip is part of the GPN (General Purpose Natural gas/Propane) line, specifically optimized for alternative fuel gases which require different flow characteristics than acetylene. This specific model features a substantial cutting capacity, rated for materials up to 8 inches (approx. 200mm) in thickness, making it suitable for structural steel work, scrapping, and heavy fabrication.

Technically, the 6-GPN utilizes a two-piece construction consisting of a brass inner member with splines and a copper outer shell. This design is standard for alternative fuel tips to create the necessary turbulence for a stable preheat flame. The tip requires a cutting oxygen pressure of 55-65 PSIG and a fuel gas pressure of 10-15 PSIG to operate effectively. Consumption rates are specified at 450-500 cfh for total oxygen and 25-35 cfh for fuel gas. It is designed to fit Victor 2400 series cutting attachments and all Victor-style cutting torches that accept Series 1 tips (typically the larger 300 series handles).

Reliability and precision are hallmarks of genuine Victor consumables. The 0333-0308 ensures consistent flame stability and efficient gas usage, reducing operational costs associated with fuel consumption and cleanup time. The copper alloy material provides excellent heat dissipation, prolonging the life of the tip even under the high-heat conditions generated during prolonged cuts on thick plate.
