CS2290H5 - Victor CutSkill Harris-Style 2290H-5 Propane Cutting Tip

Heavy-Duty Propane Cutting Performance

The Victor CutSkill CS2290H5 is a premium-quality replacement cutting tip designed to be fully compatible with Harris-style torches that utilize the 2290H series consumables. Engineered specifically for alternative fuels such as Propane and Natural Gas, this Size 5 tip is built to handle demanding industrial applications where deep cutting capacity and heat management are critical. The CS2290H5 features a two-piece construction, consisting of a brass outer shell and a splined brass inner member, which is the standard configuration for optimal alternative fuel combustion.

Technical Specifications and Application

This specific model, the 2290H-5, is a "Heavy Preheat" tip. The heavy preheat designation indicates that the tip provides a more robust preheat flame pattern compared to standard tips, making it exceptionally suitable for cutting steel that may be covered in rust, scale, or paint. The Size 5 orifice is substantial, generally rated for cutting material thicknesses ranging from approximately 6 inches to 9 inches (150mm - 225mm), depending on gas pressure settings and operator skill. It is an essential consumable for scrap yards, heavy structural fabrication, and demolition crews utilizing propane for its cost savings and availability.

Compatibility and Safety

The Victor CutSkill line is manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure a leak-free seal and safe operation with Harris-style equipment. Users should ensure their torch mixers are rated for alternative fuels (injector style or appropriate pressure mixers) before use. Unlike acetylene tips, the CS2290H5 requires the specific flow characteristics of propane or natural gas to maintain a stable flame. Proper setting of oxygen and fuel pressures is vital for achieving the clean, slag-free cuts this tip is capable of producing.
