1502216 - Harris 6290-2VVCP Propylene Machine Cutting Tip

Harris Model 6290-2VVCP Machine Cutting Tip

The Harris Model 6290-2VVCP is a premium machine cutting tip engineered specifically for use with propylene fuel gas. As part of the VVC series, this consumable is designed to deliver high-speed cutting performance in industrial environments. The tip features a sophisticated two-piece construction, utilizing a brass internal shell for precise gas flow and an electroless nickel-plated outer shell. This plating is critical for machine cutting applications as it provides superior heat reflection and prevents spatter from adhering to the tip, thereby extending the consumable's service life and maintaining cut quality over long durations.

Optimized for alternate fuels, the 6290-2VVCP utilizes a specific cup depth (.034) to stabilize the propylene preheat flame. This design allows for increased cutting speeds compared to standard general-purpose tips, which in turn minimizes the kerf width and reduces the heat-affected zone (HAZ) on the workpiece. The result is a cleaner, more precise cut that requires significantly less secondary machining or grinding. This tip is compatible with Harris-style machine torches and is widely used in heavy fabrication, shipbuilding, and structural steel processing. Please note that this tip is designed for propylene only and must not be used with acetylene.
