KGM5-2 - Airco Style KGM-2 MAPP/Propylene Cutting Tip - Size 2

High-Performance Airco Style KGM-2 Cutting Tip

The Airco Style KGM-2 Cutting Tip is a premium-quality replacement consumable designed for professionals who demand precision and reliability in their oxy-fuel cutting operations. Engineered to fit standard Airco style torches, this tip is specifically optimized for use with alternative fuel gases such as MAPP and Propylene. Unlike acetylene tips, the KGM series features internal geometry tailored to the flow rates and combustion characteristics of these hotter-burning, safer-to-handle gases, ensuring a stable preheat flame and a clean, efficient cutting oxygen stream.

With a Size 2 designation, this tip is versatile enough to handle a wide range of material thicknesses, typically performing best on steel plates around 1 inch (25mm) thick. The construction utilizes high-grade copper and brass alloys, which provide excellent heat dissipation and resistance to deformation under high-temperature conditions. This durability ensures a longer service life, reducing the frequency of tip changes and downtime in industrial environments. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, a scrap yard, or on a construction site, the KGM-2 delivers consistent results.

One of the key advantages of this aftermarket tip is its precision machining. The preheat orifices are drilled to exact tolerances to produce a uniform flame ring, which is critical for quick starts and maintaining the puddle during the cut. The seating surfaces are finished to ensure a leak-tight seal with the torch head, preventing dangerous gas leaks and ensuring operator safety. By choosing this Airco style copy, you get the performance of an OEM part at a fraction of the cost, making it an economical choice for high-volume cutting operations.

Key Specifications and Benefits

This tip is designed for ease of use and maintenance. It can be easily cleaned with standard tip cleaners to remove slag or carbon buildup, extending its operational life further. Its compatibility with MAPP and Propylene makes it an excellent choice for environments where acetylene is not available or preferred. The KGM-2 represents a perfect balance of quality, performance, and value for any welder using Airco equipment.
