CS16400 - Victor Cutskill Airco Style 164-00 Acetylene Cutting Tip, 1/8-Inch Capacity

Precision Engineering for Oxy-Acetylene Cutting

The Victor Cutskill CS16400 is a meticulously engineered Airco Style 164-00 cutting tip designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metal fabrication. This consumable is specifically calibrated for use with Acetylene gas, providing a high-intensity flame necessary for efficient piercing and cutting of mild steel. With a cutting capacity of 1/8 inch, this tip is classified as a size 00, making it ideal for precision work on thinner gauge materials where heat control and kerf width are critical parameters.

Technically, the CS16400 features a drill size of 69, ensuring a precise orifice diameter that regulates gas flow with exceptional consistency. The tip is rated for an oxygen pressure of 25 PSIG and an acetylene pressure of 1.5 PSIG. These specific pressure settings are calculated to produce a neutral flame with optimal preheat capability, allowing for a travel speed of 22 to 26 inches per minute (ipm). The internal geometry of the tip is designed to maintain laminar flow, reducing turbulence in the gas stream which translates to a cleaner cut face and reduced slag accumulation.

As part of the Victor Cutskill line, this product bridges the gap between OEM performance and aftermarket value. It is fully compatible with Airco style torches, ensuring a secure seat and leak-free operation. The construction utilizes high-grade copper alloy to withstand the thermal cycling inherent in oxy-fuel processes. For professionals requiring reliable performance in general fabrication, maintenance, and repair operations, the CS16400 offers a balanced solution that adheres to strict dimensional tolerances.

The tip's design also supports heavy preheating tasks relative to its size class, ensuring that the base metal reaches ignition temperature rapidly without overheating the surrounding area. This balance of thermal output and gas velocity makes the 164-00 style a staple in workshops that demand versatility and precision in their thermal cutting operations.
