CS1836 - Victor CutSkill Airco Style 183 Size 6 Acetylene Gouging Tip

High-Performance Airco Style Gouging Tip

The Victor CutSkill CS1836 is a premium-quality replacement gouging tip designed to fit Airco-style oxy-fuel torches. Engineered for professionals who demand reliability and precision, this tip belongs to the 183 series and is specifically calibrated for use with Acetylene gas. The CS1836 features a Size 6 orifice, making it suitable for substantial metal removal tasks, including digging out defects, removing old welds, and preparing plate edges for welding. As part of the Victor CutSkill line, this product combines Victor's legendary manufacturing standards with the specific design requirements of Airco-compatible equipment, offering a seamless integration into existing setups without the need for adapter kits or torch modifications.

Constructed from high-grade copper alloy, the CS1836 is a one-piece tip designed to withstand the intense heat associated with the gouging process. Gouging differs significantly from cutting; rather than severing the metal completely, the stream is directed to wash molten metal away, creating a smooth groove. The geometry of the 183-6 tip is optimized to facilitate this washing action, allowing the operator to maintain control over the depth and width of the groove. This control is critical when removing cracks or defects to ensure that the base metal is not unnecessarily damaged. The tip's seating surfaces are machined to tight tolerances, ensuring a secure, gas-tight fit within the torch head, which is essential for safety and performance.

Industrial maintenance and repair operations frequently rely on the versatility of oxy-acetylene gouging. The Victor CutSkill CS1836 provides a durable solution that resists clogging and flashback, common issues in heavy-duty gouging applications. Its robust design ensures a long service life, even in harsh workshop or field environments. By choosing a Victor CutSkill replacement, users benefit from consistent flame characteristics and predictable performance, which translates to cleaner grooves and less post-gouging grinding. Whether used in shipyards, structural steel fabrication, or general repair shops, this tip delivers the thermal efficiency required for effective metal removal.
