OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade Cobra Style LPG Cutting Tip

Maximize the efficiency of your oxy-fuel cutting operations with this premium Cobra Style #3 LPG Cutting Tip. Designed specifically for industrial environments where Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) or propane is the fuel of choice, this tip delivers reliable performance and precision. Unlike acetylene tips, LPG tips require a specific design—typically a two-piece construction with a splined inner member—to properly anchor the flame and ensure a stable preheat. This product is engineered to meet those rigorous standards, providing a consistent flame structure that resists blow-off even when the torch is moved rapidly across the workpiece.

The #3 size indicates a versatile cutting capacity, generally suitable for plate thicknesses ranging from approximately 1.5 inches to 2.5 inches, depending on the specific pressure settings and torch model used. The tip is manufactured from high-quality copper and brass alloys, ensuring excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to the intense reflected heat generated during heavy cutting. The precision-drilled cutting oxygen orifice ensures a laminar flow of oxygen, which is critical for achieving a clean, slag-free kerf and reducing the need for secondary grinding or machining.

Compatibility is key in maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO). This tip is designed as a direct replacement for Cobra style torches, ensuring a seamless fit and gas-tight seal. Whether you are working in structural steel fabrication, scrap yards, or heavy equipment repair, switching to this LPG-optimized tip can help reduce fuel costs compared to acetylene while maintaining high productivity. The robust outer shell is designed to withstand the harsh conditions of the shop floor, resisting damage from spatter and accidental impact.

Key Technical Benefits:

  • Optimized Geometry: The internal splines are calculated to create the perfect turbulence for mixing propane and oxygen for maximum BTU output.
  • Durability: Heavy-wall construction extends the service life of the tip by dissipating heat effectively.
  • Cost Efficiency: Utilizing propane with this tip allows for significant savings on fuel gas without compromising cut quality on carbon steel.

FAQ

This tip is designed specifically for Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) or Propane. It should not be used with Acetylene.

While exact capacity depends on the torch and pressure settings, a #3 tip is typically used for cutting steel plate between 1.5 inches and 2.5 inches thick.

No, this tip is designed for Cobra style torches. It will not seat correctly in Victor, Harris, or Airco style torches.

This is a two-piece tip, which is the standard design for propane/LPG cutting tips to ensure proper flame stability.

You can separate the outer shell from the inner member to clean the splines. Use a soft wire brush or a specialized tip cleaner, but be careful not to damage the seating surfaces.

Yes, propane cutting generally requires different pressure settings, often higher oxygen pressures, compared to acetylene. Consult your torch manufacturer's chart.

No, this is a standard cutting tip. Gouging requires a specific gouging tip designed with a different orifice angle.
