The Generic 183-4 Airco Style Gouging Tip is a precision-engineered consumable designed for oxy-acetylene gouging operations. Manufactured to replicate the performance specifications of the original Airco 183 series, this tip is essential for industrial maintenance, repair, and fabrication environments where weld removal or metal grooving is required. The tip features a one-piece copper construction, which provides excellent thermal conductivity, reducing the risk of overheating during prolonged use. Its specific internal geometry is optimized for acetylene gas, creating a focused preheat flame and a low-velocity oxygen stream necessary for washing away molten metal rather than severing it.
This size 4 tip is calibrated for medium-range gouging depths, making it versatile for various material thicknesses. The tip is bent to a specific angle, allowing the operator to maintain the correct torch orientation relative to the workpiece, which is critical for controlling the depth and width of the groove. It fits all standard Airco style torch handles and attachments, ensuring seamless integration into existing equipment inventories. Whether used for preparing plate edges (U-grooves) or removing defective welds, the 183-4 delivers consistent arc stability and slag removal capabilities.
