OVERVIEW

Victor 0387-0184 1-3-GPN-CS Cutting Tip Overview

The Victor 0387-0184 1-3-GPN-CS Cutting Tip is a premium consumable designed for industrial cutting applications utilizing alternative fuels. Specifically engineered for Propane and Natural Gas, this General Purpose (GPN) tip delivers efficient heat distribution and clean cuts on mild steel. As a Size 1 tip, it is rated for cutting metal thicknesses of approximately 3/4 inch (19mm), making it a versatile choice for structural fabrication, scrap yards, and general maintenance tasks where propane is the preferred fuel gas.

Technical Design and Compatibility

This tip features a robust two-piece construction, a hallmark of high-quality alternative fuel tips. The inner element is precision-machined from brass with splines that direct the preheat gas flow, while the outer shell is crafted from heavy-duty copper to withstand high radiant heat and resist spatter adhesion. This design allows for optimal mixing of oxygen and fuel gas at the tip face, ensuring a stable preheat flame that is essential for the slower burn rate of propane compared to acetylene. The 1-3-GPN fits standard Victor 300 Series heavy-duty cutting attachments and straight torches, ensuring broad compatibility with existing industrial equipment.

Operational Efficiency

Using the Victor 1-3-GPN tip allows operators to take advantage of the cost savings associated with propane and natural gas without sacrificing cut quality. The tip is designed to pull the heavy preheat required for these fuels, minimizing start times. Furthermore, the two-piece design simplifies maintenance; the inner part can be removed from the outer shell, allowing welders to easily clean out carbon deposits or debris from the splines, significantly extending the service life of the tip. The "CS" in the part number indicates that this product comes in Clamshell packaging, providing individual protection for the tip until it is ready for use.

FAQ

This tip is designed specifically for use with Propane or Natural Gas. It is not suitable for Acetylene.

The Size 1 tip is rated to cut metal thicknesses of approximately 3/4 inch (19mm).

It fits Victor 300 Series heavy-duty cutting attachments and straight torches. It does not fit the smaller Victor J-Series or CutSkill medium-duty torches.

It is a two-piece tip, featuring a brass inner spline and a copper outer shell, which is standard for propane/natural gas tips.

No, the 1-3-GPN is a cutting tip. For gouging applications, you would need a GPN-style gouging tip specifically designed for that process.

Because it is a two-piece tip, you can separate the inner and outer parts to clean the splines and seating surfaces. Standard tip cleaners can be used for the orifice.

The 'CS' suffix stands for Clamshell, indicating the retail packaging type used for this product.

For a Size 1 tip cutting 3/4" steel, the recommended cutting oxygen pressure is typically between 30 and 35 PSI, though you should consult the specific Victor cut charts for precise settings.
