OVERVIEW

Heavy-Duty Airco Style Cutting Tip for Alternate Fuels

The Victor CutSkill CS2458 is a high-performance replacement cutting tip engineered to meet the demands of heavy industrial cutting applications. Modeled after the widely used Airco 245 series, this tip is specifically designed for use with alternate fuel gases such as Propane and Natural Gas. Unlike acetylene tips, which typically feature a single-piece construction, the CS2458 utilizes a two-piece design consisting of a brass inner member and a copper outer shell. This configuration is essential for alternate fuels, as it creates a recess at the tip end that anchors the flame, ensuring a stable and intense preheat even in windy or adverse conditions.

With a size 8 designation, the CS2458 is a powerhouse in the cutting world. It is capable of severing steel sections ranging from approximately 10 to 12 inches in thickness, making it an indispensable tool for scrap yards, heavy equipment dismantling, and structural steel fabrication. The precision-drilled oxygen passage ensures a coherent cutting stream that maintains its shape over long distances, resulting in cleaner cuts with less slag and reduced post-cut grinding. The durable copper alloy construction resists heat deformation and spatter adhesion, extending the service life of the consumable even under continuous high-heat operation.

Part of the Victor CutSkill line, this tip offers professional-grade quality at a value-oriented price point. It is fully compatible with Airco-style torches and cutting attachments that accept the 245 series seat type. Whether you are processing heavy scrap or performing deep cuts in manufacturing, the CS2458 delivers the reliability and thermal efficiency required for efficient propane and natural gas cutting.

FAQ

The CS2458 is designed for use with alternate fuels, specifically Propane and Natural Gas. It is not suitable for Acetylene.

This tip is compatible with Airco-style cutting torches and attachments that accept 245 series tips.

A size 8 tip like the CS2458 is typically rated for cutting steel thicknesses between 10 and 12 inches.

The two-piece design (shell and insert) is necessary for Propane and Natural Gas to ensure proper gas mixing and to anchor the preheat flame for stability.

While primarily a cutting tip, the large flame can be used for washing, but specific gouging tips are generally recommended for dedicated gouging applications.

No, this is a Victor CutSkill brand replacement part manufactured to Airco 245 specifications.

Use a standard tip cleaner designed for two-piece tips. Be careful not to damage the splines on the inner member when separating the pieces for cleaning.

You must ensure your torch is equipped with a mixer or injector suitable for Propane/Natural Gas operation, although the tip itself determines the flame characteristics at the exit.
