CSGPP7 - Victor GPP-7 Heavy Duty Propylene Cutting Tip Size 7

Technical Overview of the Victor CSGPP7 Cutting Tip

The Victor Cutskill CSGPP7 is a specialized heavy-duty cutting tip belonging to the GPP series, engineered specifically for use with Propylene fuel gas. Designated as a Size 7 tip, it provides a substantial cutting range capable of severing material up to 10 inches (approximately 254 mm) in thickness. This Type 1 tip features a one-piece design that optimizes the preheat flame characteristics required for alternative fuels like propylene, which have different combustion velocities compared to acetylene.

Designed for versatility in industrial environments, the CSGPP7 is compatible with a broad spectrum of Victor equipment. It fits standard heavy-duty torch handles including the 315FC and H315FC, as well as straight torches such as the ST2600FC, ST100FC, ST900FC, and HC1200C. Furthermore, it is engineered for use with cutting attachments like the CA2460 (90 degree), CA2461 (75 degree), and CA2462 (180 degree). For automated or mechanized cutting applications, this tip is also suitable for MT200 and MT300 machine torches, ensuring consistent performance across different operational setups.

The internal geometry of the GPP-7 tip is precision-machined to ensure a stable preheat flame and a coherent cutting oxygen stream, which is critical for maintaining cut quality on thick sections. The use of propylene gas offers a higher heat release in the secondary flame compared to acetylene, making this tip particularly effective for heating broad areas and cutting through dirty or coated steels. Proper gas pressure settings are essential for optimal performance; operators should consult the Victor cutting charts specific to GPP series tips to ensure the correct oxygen and fuel gas pressures are maintained for a Size 7 orifice.

Durability is a key feature of the Cutskill line. The tip is constructed to withstand the high radiant heat generated during the cutting of 10-inch plate. Regular maintenance, including the use of appropriate tip cleaners to keep the preheat and cutting oxygen orifices free from slag and carbon buildup, will extend the service life of the consumable. This component is an essential inventory item for fabrication shops, scrap yards, and heavy equipment repair facilities utilizing propylene for their thermal cutting processes.
