819-2 - 819 Style Size 2 Propane Cutting Tip for Air Liquide Torches

Precision Propane Cutting for Air Liquide Systems

The GEN819-2 Cutting Tip is a high-quality aftermarket replacement component designed to interface seamlessly with Air Liquide style oxy-fuel cutting torches. Engineered specifically for alternative fuel gases, this tip utilizes the 819 series form factor, making it an essential consumable for industrial operations that rely on Propane or Natural Gas for their thermal cutting processes. The tip is manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure compatibility with existing torch heads, maintaining the safety and efficiency standards required in professional fabrication environments.

This Size 2 tip is calibrated for cutting mild steel ranging from approximately 1 inch to 2 inches (25mm - 50mm) in thickness. Unlike standard acetylene tips, the 819-2 features a two-piece construction. This design consists of a splined brass inner member and a copper outer shell. The separation allows the tip to create a heavy preheat flame, which is necessary to compensate for the lower flame temperature of propane compared to acetylene. The recessed inner member protects the splines from damage and allows the preheat flame to anchor effectively, ensuring stable combustion even when the torch is moved rapidly across the workpiece.

Durability is a key focus of the GEN819-2. The outer copper shell provides excellent heat dissipation, reducing the risk of tip overheating during prolonged cuts on heavy plate. The brass inner core is precision-drilled to optimize gas flow velocity, ensuring a clean, narrow kerf and minimal slag accumulation. This tip is ideal for structural steel fabrication, scrap yards, and maintenance repair operations where propane is the preferred fuel gas due to its availability and cost-effectiveness.

Operators will appreciate the ease of maintenance provided by the two-piece design. The outer shell can be easily removed to access the inner splines for cleaning, ensuring that carbon buildup or spatter does not compromise the flame profile. By maintaining the correct oxygen-to-fuel ratio and keeping the tip clean, users can achieve high-quality cuts with reduced post-cut grinding requirements.
