OVERVIEW

Precision Generic Replacement for Airco 144 Series

The Generic 144-2 Cutting Tip is an industrial-grade consumable designed to replicate the performance specifications of the standard Airco 144 series. Engineered for professionals requiring reliable oxy-acetylene cutting capabilities, this tip features a Size 2 orifice, calibrated specifically for severing mild steel plates up to 3/4 of an inch (approximately 19mm) in thickness. The internal geometry is machined to ensure a stable laminar flow of oxygen and acetylene, promoting a clean kerf and minimizing slag accumulation during the cutting process.

Constructed from high-thermal-conductivity copper alloy, the 144-2 tip effectively manages the intense heat generated during operation, reducing the risk of tip overheating and flashback. The "Medium Preheat" configuration provides a balanced flame structure, delivering sufficient thermal energy to initiate cuts rapidly, even on plates with minor surface oxidation, rust, or scale. This makes it a versatile choice for fabrication shops, structural steel work, and maintenance applications where surface conditions vary.

This tip is strictly compatible with Airco style torches and is designed for use with Acetylene gas only. It utilizes the standard seating arrangement found in Airco equipment, ensuring a leak-proof seal when properly tightened. By adhering to strict dimensional tolerances, this generic replacement ensures that operators can maintain the travel speeds and oxygen pressure settings they are accustomed to with OEM parts, providing a seamless transition and consistent operational efficiency.

FAQ

This tip is designed to fit all Airco style oxy-acetylene torches.

No, the 144 series is designed specifically for Acetylene. Using Propane requires a different tip design (typically two-piece) to ensure proper flame stability and safety.

The Size 2 tip is rated for cutting steel up to 3/4 inch (approx. 19mm) thick.

Medium preheat refers to the number and size of the preheat orifices. It provides a balance of heat suitable for general purpose cutting, capable of handling clean plate as well as material with some rust or scale.

No, this is a high-quality generic replacement part manufactured to meet or exceed the specifications of the original Airco 144 series.

You should use a standard tip cleaner set. Select the wire size that fits the preheat and cutting oxygen orifices for a Size 2 tip, ensuring you do not enlarge the holes while cleaning out slag or carbon.

The tip is machined from a copper alloy, chosen for its durability and high thermal conductivity to prevent overheating.

As a consumable item, it is typically warranted against manufacturing defects upon receipt, but normal wear and tear from use is not covered.
