0336-0042 - Victor 285N Series Heavy Duty Propane Cutting Tip Size 0.312

Heavy-Duty Industrial Cutting Performance

The Victor 0336-0042 .312-285N Cutting Tip is an ultra-heavy-duty consumable designed for the most demanding industrial cutting applications. Engineered for use with the Victor HC 1500C series torches, this tip is a critical component for operations requiring the severance of massive steel sections. With a cutting capacity ranging from 20 to 26 inches, it is ideally suited for steel mills, foundries, and heavy scrapping operations where standard equipment falls short. The 285N series is specifically calibrated to handle the high heat and gas volume required for deep cuts in thick materials.

Optimized for Alternate Fuels

This cutting tip features a two-piece design, which is the industry standard for efficiency when using alternate fuels such as Propane or Natural Gas. Unlike acetylene tips, two-piece tips utilize a separate outer shell and inner member to create a stable, high-intensity preheat flame that remains consistent even under the high-pressure conditions of heavy cutting. The 0.312 (5/16 inch) orifice ensures adequate oxygen flow to maintain the oxidation reaction through more than two feet of solid steel. By utilizing propane or natural gas, operators can achieve significant cost savings on fuel without sacrificing the thermal output needed for heavy sectioning.

Precision and Durability

Victor's commitment to quality is evident in the precision manufacturing of the 0336-0042. The tip seats securely into the HC 1500C torch, ensuring a leak-free connection that promotes safety and performance. The specified pressure settings—Cutting Oxygen at 25/45 PSIG, Preheat Oxygen at 25/50 PSIG, and Fuel at 15/20 PSIG—are calculated to provide the optimal flame chemistry for clean, slag-free cuts on extremely thick workpieces. Whether processing ingots, risers, or heavy machinery scrap, the Victor 285N size 0.312 tip delivers the reliability professional industrial welders demand.
