3-GPN-0 - 3-GPN Size 0 Propane Cutting Tip for Victor 100 Series Torches

High-Efficiency Propane Cutting Tip for Medium Duty Applications

The 3-GPN-0 Cutting Tip is a high-quality generic replacement designed to deliver precise cutting performance using Propane or Natural Gas. Engineered to fit Victor 100 Series torch handles and cutting attachments, this tip is an essential consumable for fabricators and metalworkers utilizing alternative fuels. The '3' in the model number indicates compatibility with medium-duty equipment (such as the CA1350 cutting attachment), ensuring a secure seat and leak-free operation.

This Size 0 tip is rated for cutting mild steel ranging from 3/8-inch to 1/2-inch (approx. 10-12mm) in thickness. Unlike acetylene tips, GPN tips utilize a 2-piece construction consisting of a heavy-duty outer shell and a splined inner insert. This design is critical for propane and natural gas, as it creates a recessed flame face that anchors the preheat flame, preventing it from blowing out while maximizing heat transfer. The splined insert also facilitates easy maintenance; operators can separate the components to clean out carbon buildup or slag from the preheat orifices.

Manufactured to strict tolerances, this tip ensures a stable preheat flame and a coherent cutting oxygen stream. Recommended pressure settings for optimal performance are typically 30-35 PSI for Oxygen and 3-5 PSI for Fuel, though users should always consult their specific torch chart. Whether for general fabrication, scrap cutting, or structural work, the 3-GPN-0 provides a reliable and economical solution for oxy-propane cutting.
