CS1446 - Victor CutSkill Airco Style 144-6 Acetylene Cutting Tip

High-Performance Replacement for Heavy Industrial Cutting

The Victor CutSkill CS1446 is a precision-engineered cutting tip designed to serve as a direct replacement for the classic Airco 144-6 style tips. Manufactured under the reputable Victor Technologies umbrella, the CutSkill line is developed to provide industrial-grade performance at a value-oriented price point, making it an ideal choice for supply chains and MRO procurement specialists looking to maintain high operational standards without excessive consumable costs. This specific tip is calibrated for use with Acetylene gas, utilizing the distinct preheat and cutting oxygen orifice geometry required to maintain a stable flame and efficient oxidation reaction on carbon steel.

The CS1446 features a Size 6 orifice configuration, which places it firmly in the heavy-duty category of oxy-fuel consumables. It is rated for cutting material thicknesses ranging from approximately 6 inches (152 mm) to 8 inches (203 mm). This capacity makes it suitable for demolition, heavy structural fabrication, and scrap processing where deep penetration and sustained heat input are critical. The tip utilizes a flat seat design, characteristic of the Airco style, ensuring a secure and leak-free connection with compatible torch heads. The copper alloy construction ensures rapid heat dissipation, reducing the risk of tip overheating and flashback during prolonged cutting operations.

Procuring the correct cutting tip is essential for safety and efficiency. The Airco 144 series is specifically designed for Acetylene; using this tip with alternative fuel gases like Propane or Natural Gas is not recommended due to the differences in burn velocity and BTU output requirements. The Victor CutSkill CS1446 adheres to strict manufacturing tolerances to ensure consistent flow rates and flame characteristics, providing operators with the control needed for quality manual or machine cutting. By standardizing on Victor CutSkill consumables, facilities can ensure compatibility and reliability across their oxy-fuel equipment fleet.
