Victor 3-TEN Welding Tip: Precision and Durability for Professionals

The Victor 0311-0486 3-TEN Welding Tip is a premium component designed for professional oxy-acetylene welding applications. As part of the renowned Victor Professional range, this Type TEN nozzle is engineered to deliver superior performance when paired with Victor 300 Series torch handles. The 3-TEN model is specifically calibrated as a Size 3 tip, making it the ideal choice for welding steel and other metals with a thickness of approximately 1/8 inch (3.2 mm). Its precision manufacturing ensures a consistent, long cone flame that provides the control necessary for high-quality welds and brazing operations.

Constructed from a single piece of high-grade copper alloy, the 3-TEN tip is built to withstand the intense heat of industrial environments. The one-piece design not only enhances durability but also improves heat dissipation, reducing the risk of overheating during prolonged use. The internal geometry of the tip is swaged to optimize gas flow, ensuring a smooth mixture of oxygen and acetylene that results in a stable flame profile. This stability is crucial for achieving deep penetration and clean weld beads, minimizing the need for post-weld cleanup.

Compatibility is a key feature of the Victor 0311-0486. It is designed to fit seamlessly with standard Victor 300 Series handles, widely used in heavy-duty fabrication, maintenance, and repair shops. The tip features reliable threading that ensures a gas-tight seal, preventing leaks and ensuring operator safety. Whether you are performing structural repairs, automotive fabrication, or general maintenance, this tip provides the versatility and reliability expected from the Victor brand.

Maintenance of the 3-TEN tip is straightforward. Its copper face resists spatter adhesion, and the orifice can be easily maintained with standard tip cleaners to ensure optimal gas flow. By choosing genuine Victor consumables, welders ensure the longevity of their equipment and the quality of their output. The 0311-0486 is an essential addition to any professional welder's toolkit, offering the perfect balance of heat output and control for medium-gauge materials.
