144-2 - Generic 144-2 Acetylene Cutting Tip for Airco Style Torches - 3/4 Inch Capacity

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.
