0336-0044 - Victor 285N Series Heavy Duty Propane Cutting Tip Size 0.437

Extreme Capacity Industrial Cutting

The Victor 0336-0044 .437-285N Cutting Tip is a specialized, high-performance consumable engineered for the most demanding industrial cutting applications. Part of the renowned 285N series, this tip is designed to operate with alternate fuels, specifically Propane and Natural Gas, making it an economical choice for heavy-volume operations such as steel mills, foundries, and large-scale demolition projects. Unlike standard cutting tips that top out at a few inches of thickness, the .437-285N is built to sever carbon steel with thicknesses of 34 inches and greater.

This impressive capability is achieved through a robust two-piece design consisting of a brass inner member and a copper outer shell, which optimizes the preheat flame characteristics for slower-burning fuel gases. The tip features a large 0.437-inch cutting oxygen orifice, allowing for the massive gas flow required to penetrate and clear molten slag from extremely deep cuts. It is specifically manufactured to fit Victor HC 1500C series torches, ensuring a secure seal and safe operation under high-pressure conditions.

Operational parameters are critical for this level of performance. The tip requires a cutting oxygen pressure of 20/40 PSIG, a preheat oxygen pressure of 25/50 PSIG, and a fuel pressure of 15/20 PSIG. These specifications ensure a stable, high-velocity stream capable of maintaining the oxidation reaction through nearly three feet of solid metal. Whether processing heavy scrap, cropping ingots, or dismantling massive infrastructure, the Victor 0336-0044 delivers the power and reliability professionals expect from the leader in gas equipment.
