CS1838 - Victor CS1838 Airco Style 183-8 Oxy-Acetylene Gouging Tip

High-Performance Gouging with Victor Cutskill

The Victor Cutskill CS1838 is a premium-quality replacement gouging tip designed to fit Airco style torches. Modeled after the industry-standard Airco 183-8, this tip is engineered for heavy-duty gouging applications using oxygen and acetylene. Whether you are removing old welds, preparing cracks for repair, or washing away defects in castings, the CS1838 delivers the heat and control necessary for efficient metal removal.

Precision Engineering for Consistent Results

Victor's Cutskill line is renowned for offering exceptional value without compromising on performance. The CS1838 features precision-machined gas orifices that produce a focused and stable preheat flame, essential for bringing the base metal to ignition temperature quickly. The oxygen jet is optimized to wash away molten metal smoothly, leaving a clean groove that requires minimal post-process grinding. The tip is constructed from a durable copper alloy that withstands the intense reflected heat typical of gouging operations, ensuring a long service life even in demanding industrial environments.

Compatibility and Versatility

Designed as a direct replacement for the Airco 183 series, this tip fits seamlessly into compatible Airco-style cutting attachments and hand torches. The size 8 classification indicates a large capacity, making it suitable for deeper and wider gouges. This makes it an indispensable tool for maintenance and repair operations (MRO), shipyards, and heavy fabrication shops where equipment compatibility and reliability are paramount. By choosing the Victor Cutskill CS1838, you ensure that your oxy-fuel equipment continues to operate at peak efficiency.

Safety and Efficiency

Using the correct tip for the job is critical for safety and efficiency. The curved design of the 183-style tip allows the operator to maintain a comfortable angle relative to the workpiece, directing the molten slag away from the torch and the user. This ergonomic advantage, combined with Victor's manufacturing quality, results in a tool that professionals can trust for their daily metalworking needs.
