0387-0134 - Victor Size 0 Acetylene Cutting Tip 1-101 Series

Precision Acetylene Cutting with Victor 1-101 Series

The Victor 0387-0134 0-1-101-CS Cutting Tip represents the industry standard for oxy-acetylene cutting performance. As part of the renowned 1-101 series, this tip is engineered specifically for use with Acetylene gas, delivering a preheat flame pattern optimized for rapid starts and clean, consistent cuts on mild steel. The "Size 0" designation indicates its calibration for cutting material thicknesses ranging from 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch (approximately 10mm to 13mm), making it an essential consumable for general fabrication, structural steel work, and maintenance repair operations.

Constructed from a solid piece of high-grade copper alloy, Victor's one-piece design offers superior thermal conductivity compared to multi-piece alternatives. This efficient heat transfer helps keep the tip cooler during extended operation, reducing the risk of flashbacks and extending the service life of the consumable. The internal geometry is precision-machined to ensure a laminar flow of gases, resulting in a stable, focused cutting stream that minimizes kerf width and slag accumulation. This specific SKU comes in Clamshell (CS) packaging, ensuring the product remains sealed and protected from dust and moisture until it is ready for use.

Compatibility is a key feature of the 1-101 series. This tip is designed to fit standard Victor heavy-duty and medium-duty cutting attachments and straight torches, commonly referred to as the 300 Series (and compatible 100 Series handles depending on the specific attachment model). Operators should ensure their equipment is rated for Acetylene use. Proper gas pressure settings are crucial for optimal performance; for this Size 0 tip, a cutting oxygen pressure of 30-35 PSIG and a fuel pressure of 3-5 PSIG are generally recommended, though users should always consult the specific chart for their torch handle.

Whether you are replacing a worn tip in an industrial setting or stocking up for a mobile welding rig, the Victor 0-1-101-CS offers the reliability and cut quality that professionals demand. Its robust construction resists deformation from heat and accidental impact, ensuring that the orifices remain true for a consistent flame profile over time.
