261-0 - Airco Style 261-0 Propane Cutting Tip - Size 0

Generic 261-0 Propane Cutting Tip for Airco Style Torches

The Generic 261-0 is a premium aftermarket cutting tip designed to function seamlessly with all Airco style cutting torches and cutting attachments. Engineered specifically for alternate fuel gases, this tip is optimized for use with Propane and Natural Gas. Unlike standard acetylene tips, the 261 series utilizes a two-piece construction method. This design features a heavy-duty copper outer shell and a precision-machined brass inner spline. The separation of materials allows for better management of the specific combustion characteristics of propane, ensuring a stable preheat flame and efficient oxygen stream delivery.

With a Size 0 classification, this tip is ideal for light-to-medium duty fabrication and scrapping applications. It is generally rated for cutting mild steel ranging from 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch (approximately 6mm to 13mm) in thickness. The splined inner insert creates the necessary turbulence to mix the fuel gas and oxygen effectively, compensating for propane's lower flame velocity compared to acetylene. This results in a hot, concentrated preheat cone that brings the base metal to kindling temperature quickly, despite the fuel type.

Durability is a key feature of this generic replacement. The outer copper jacket is resistant to heat and spatter adhesion, extending the service life of the consumable even in harsh industrial environments. The seating surfaces are machined to tight tolerances to ensure a leak-proof seal within the torch head, preventing dangerous flashbacks or gas leaks. For operators looking to reduce consumable costs without sacrificing cut quality, the Generic 261-0 offers reliable performance comparable to original equipment manufacturer specifications.
