gen1-101-5 - Victor Style 1-101 Size 5 Acetylene Cutting Tip for 300 Series Torches

Heavy-Duty Industrial Cutting Performance

The Generic Victor Style 1-101 Size 5 Cutting Tip is engineered for the most demanding industrial environments where deep cutting capacity and reliability are paramount. Designed to be fully compatible with Victor 300 Series torch handles and cutting attachments, this tip serves as a high-performance replacement for standard 1-101 series consumables. It is specifically calibrated for use with Oxygen and Acetylene, providing the intense preheat flame necessary for rapid starts and clean cuts on thick carbon steel plates.

Constructed from a high-grade copper alloy, this tip excels in heat dissipation, a critical factor when cutting materials up to 5 inches thick. The one-piece design integrates the preheat and cutting oxygen channels into a solid unit, reducing the risk of tip separation under high thermal stress. The seating surfaces are precision-machined to ensure a tight, leak-free metal-to-metal seal with the torch head, maintaining safety and gas efficiency during operation. This attention to manufacturing detail ensures that the flame characteristics remain stable even during prolonged cuts.

For fabricators and metalworkers dealing with heavy structural steel, demolition, or scrap processing, the Size 5 tip is an essential tool. It bridges the gap between standard fabrication thicknesses and heavy-duty severance applications. The tip geometry is optimized to maintain a coherent cutting oxygen stream over the full 4 to 5-inch depth, resulting in cleaner kerfs and less slag accumulation compared to inferior generic alternatives. Whether used in a hand torch or a machine cutting setup, this tip delivers consistent results.

Proper maintenance of the 1-101 Size 5 tip extends its service life significantly. We recommend regular inspection of the seating area for nicks or carbon buildup and the use of appropriate tip cleaners to keep the preheat orifices free from spatter. By choosing this generic replacement, industrial facilities can maintain high productivity levels while managing consumable costs effectively.
