OVERVIEW

Reliable Generic Replacement for Harris 6290-0 Tips

Optimize your oxy-acetylene cutting operations with this high-quality generic replacement for the Harris 6290-0 cutting tip. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial metalworking, this tip provides a cost-effective solution without compromising on performance or safety. It is engineered to fit perfectly into all standard Harris-style cutting torches and attachments, including the popular Model 62, 73, 49, and 142 series. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop, on a construction site, or performing maintenance repairs, this tip delivers the consistency required for professional results.

The 6290-0 is a Size 0 tip, specifically calibrated for cutting mild steel with a thickness of approximately 5/8 of an inch (16mm). It features a medium preheat flame pattern, which is ideal for general-purpose hand cutting. The medium preheat ensures that the steel reaches its ignition temperature quickly, allowing for a smooth start to the cut, even on slightly dirty or rusty plates. However, it is optimized for clean to moderately prepared surfaces, providing a clean kerf with minimal slag accumulation when settings are adjusted correctly.

Constructed from a single piece of high-grade copper, this tip offers excellent thermal conductivity and durability. The one-piece design is standard for acetylene tips, as it allows the tip to withstand the intense heat of the oxy-acetylene flame while maintaining structural integrity. The internal gas passages are precision-drilled and swaged to ensure a stable, laminar flow of oxygen and fuel gas, reducing the risk of turbulence that can lead to a ragged cut surface. The seating area is machined to tight tolerances, ensuring a metal-to-metal seal with the torch head that prevents dangerous gas leaks and potential flashbacks.

This tip is strictly for use with Acetylene gas. Attempting to use it with alternative fuels like Propane, Propylene, or Natural Gas will result in poor performance and potential safety hazards due to the different burning velocities and recessed tip requirements of those gases. By choosing this generic 6290-0 tip, you are investing in a reliable consumable that extends the versatility of your Harris-style equipment, providing clean, efficient cuts shift after shift.

FAQ

This tip fits all Harris® style cutting torches and cutting attachments that accept the 6290 series tips, including models 62, 73, 49, and 142.

No, this is a one-piece tip designed specifically for Acetylene. Using it with Propane will result in an unstable flame and poor cutting performance. For Propane, you need a two-piece 6290NX style tip.

A Size 0 tip in the 6290 series is rated to cut steel approximately 5/8 inch (16mm) thick.

While settings can vary by specific torch length, a general starting point for a Size 0 tip is Oxygen at 30-40 PSI and Acetylene at 5-10 PSI.

No, this is a high-quality generic replacement part manufactured to meet or exceed OEM specifications for fit and performance.

Use a standard tip cleaner set. Find the wire file that fits snugly into the preheat and cutting orifices without forcing it, and gently file back and forth to remove carbon or slag.

Medium preheat refers to the intensity and arrangement of the preheat flames. It is suitable for general cutting on clean or slightly rusty steel, balancing gas consumption with start speed.

Copper is used for its superior thermal conductivity, which helps dissipate heat away from the tip face to prevent melting and reduce the risk of flashback.
